Really if that's the case you should say it so it rhymes with rose or nose.

I would clarify that "doesn't have a PhD in social studies" doesn't give someone a free pass for spouting liberals bollocks. I don't even have an HND and can manage to not do it.

She spent her teenage years with a severe eating disorder which would have affected her ability to learn and retain information during that time before she ended up diving into full time modelling and acting. I'm not going to ignore her making bad takes but I'm more willing to give her a pass given that.

so far at least it seems considerably less contagious than the flu.

Initial estimates are it being an order of magnitude more contagious, it's just that the efforts to mitigate contagion have been effective. Obviously it's hard to tell mid-epidemic.

Lord Ashcroft has released his assessment of what went wrong for Labour at the election.


The focus groups were held last month in Bolsover, Bridgend, Burnley, Don Valley, Scunthorpe, Sedgefield, Stoke-on-Trent North, West Bromwich East and Wrexham.

There's a lot of interesting information in this but it's always a bit whiffy when a Tory peer goes "this is why Labour need to change."

For those not in the know, Jorty Peepers is on the VERY MANLY meat-only diet, and red meat at that. This means he's extremely susceptible to allergic reactions if he accidentally takes in anything other than red meat, and naturally a diet of only red meat isn't giving the body all the nutrients it needs.

Jorty boy decided to solve this by taking benzos, and then became addicted to them and ended up having to go to rehab.

His daughter (also on the dumb meat diet) was sick of doctors diagnosing him with an addiction and malnutrition, so she flies him over to Russia where a bunch of Very Respectable Doctors agree that da, problem not painkillers, problem is giant brain, so they inject him with a bunch of stuff that put him in a coma in the ICU and when he came out of it was permanently brain damaged and unable to move or talk.

Honestly it's an interesting concept to me because I absolutely find the situation Peterson has ended up in funny.

That doesn't mean I enjoy his suffering, although I understand why you would think that. It's more that his own toxic worldview led him down a path that exposed him to the consequences of that toxic worldview.

As a, likely terrible, analogy, if someone was arrogantly bragging about how great they are at skateboarding, and telling people off for warning them about their dangerous plans for sliding down a railing, I think it's perfectly normal to, as a first response, laugh when they lose the board and land balls-first on the railing and slide down while high-pitched screaming.

When they subsequently, perhaps due to the previous ball-induced pain, come off the railing and land head first, killing them... yes, absolutely that's not what you wanted to happen.

But c'mon, them accidentally pain-screaming ave maria was hilarious for those initial 10 seconds.

Someone in the replies suggested that he (stupidly) went to the non-EU queue because WE'RE NO LONGER IN THE EU.

Colleague today was specifically talking about this kind of thing happening at the airport this week, where he was like "should I use the non-EU queue, due to, you know" to the staff and they smiled and said he has a year left before he has to worry about that.
