I mean most squishy bits are fairly similar in a darkened room once you get down to it.

Plus power and fame, stability and money for life.

Not to mention when you get past the public personas and all the horrible political poo poo (which as evidenced by *gestures to the entire world* most people don't give a gently caress about) a major reason they are where they are is they're often fairly charismatic and charming in person.

Don't need much more than that.

I like how she decries friends denouncing her via twitter but then mistakenly also notes they have actually - repeatedly - told her they disagree with her. Can't even get her own story of personal oppression straight. And what a world we live in, where people stop being friends with someone just because they find their views to be hideous. She'd probably get on well with Rees Mogg too.

loving incredible trying to shoehorn antisemitism in there as well. It's her crew at the Graun who set the bar where the vaguest hint of possible antisemitism must be met with public denunciation and breaking off all association, and anything short of that response is itself antisemitism. And now she has the loving gall to sling that mud at her friends as well but she still hangs out with them anyway? If she really believed they were antisemites she'd ditch them instantly and probably write a public article about it, and she'd be right to do so. But somehow she gets to use this both ways despite the inherent double standards.

In Bristol today, the first time I’ve ever driven around this city and I’m wondering what the making GBS threads gently caress is wrong with all of you? Pretty sure ever London didn’t have this many utter lunatics last time I had to drive there.

I always assume it’s like how actors tend to hook up with other actors; if politics is your life you probably have absolutely no time to go out and socialise with normal people so you have to make do with whoever’s nearby

Unfortunately actors all tend to look stunning and politicians tend to look like crayons left out in the sun

Some people are on older kernels so require a reboot.

It's genuinely fascinating to be honest - it's nothing at all to do with the vaccine itself (or at least it's nothing that doesn't happen with literally any other injection) but is entirely reliant on heat and humidity. At Leyton, with a tiny, airless waiting room they drop like flies, at the London Stadium, basically outdoors on a cool day, not a single one. Today at Charlton, warm and humid but in a pleasantly air-conditioned room, only a few and most of them were just "Ooh I feel a bit funny" rather than swooning at my feet. Does make me think we should be enforcing 15 minutes waiting on AZ as well as on Pfizer but I'm not NICE/PHE so what do I know?

Just wondering that if the rumours about Kieth & Chapman are true, is it anti-semitic of Kieth to cheat on his Jewish wife?

As I approach an age where spare tires and receding hairlines are getting more common among my male friends I'm increasingly agreeable to the idea of young women who are attracted to overweight, middle aged men with resting gurn face, just on the off chance that I too one day lose my youthful good looks and perfect physique.

How these women deal with the terrible personalities of prominent Tories is more baffling, but I just assume that they themselves are horrible people too.

"I know some people think I'm on the wrong side of history when I think that race is a biological fact and blacks only act white to get our women and have an extra bone that makes them do crime, but why can't we just agree to disagree?"

Here’s how stupid she seems to me and people can throw this back at TERFs.

My brother has Dwarfism, but not the type people think of, his is Proportionate dwarfism and when he was a child he was tiny but externally he just looked small (internally he’s still a mess of wrong sized organs) plus he had issues with his glands so he stopped growing at 7 but was the size of a 4 year old.

However, some of his issues were treatable with artificial growth hormones till they could let the testosterone take over.

So from age 7-14 he was pumped full of HGH and puberty blockers.

According to TERFs he’s biologically 3ft 4 and unable to have children.

Which is a surprise to him given that he’s 5ft 8 and has two teenage girls and a newborn baby boy.

Yes, but they have very selective vision as to what constitutes antisemitism. For example Corbyn sharing a stage with a Jewish-Hungarian Holocaust survivor who condemns Israel is very antisemitic, whereas every single 'gender critical' front dropping the mask and going full AS barely warrants a mention at all.
