Your daily cup of fuck you.
My whole experience with the whole conspiracy was initially “hope things are ok there, probably something up with her” and then after the photoshop thing came out it was just memeing because of how stupid that whole thing was and the response to it.

Cancer is crap, but if you are going to put out photoshopped images of someone who hasn’t been seen for three months you kinda are asking for people to go crazy on this stuff.

it’s clear they need someone in PR who knows how things work now.

obviously they don't, because they can do whatever they like and the loyal british media will do their best to cover for them. consequences are for peasants.

The express has already put out 3 stories about how this is all harry and Meghan's fault, how they haven't put out a statement showing how little they care, how the statement they put out showed they were trying to make it all about them.

At times like this I think of that The Thick Of It ep where they U-turned like 3 times and their journo contact printed it every time and it was getting increasingly silly when they contradicted themselves again another 2 hours later. Truth doesn't matter there is only spin.

yes, because the main reason they want to be in politics is to insert themselves somewhere in a decision making role which means they can get bribes, and ideology would preclude that

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is *control*. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

It's politics of envy

It's party of protest, not of government

It's woke

It's Jeremy Corbyn

It's that thing where you put a USB stick in but it's the wrong way around, but when you turn it around it's somehow still the wrong way??

I liked what the ex-trader guy was saying about people with economics degrees: the ones who go on to be economists are poo poo by definition, because all the actual talented people who study economics go into investment banking.

that seems to just be cynicism for cynicisms sake though, running a countries budget is not the same as maximizing ones own bank account. Or it shouldn't be. So why would investment bankers make good Chancellors? I think that guy was just trying to big up his investor mates

if someone equates anti-Zionism with anti-semitism then replace it with criticism of Likud.

I think we should more lean towards that.

Anyway, theoretical discussion, if we were in the EU do you think Starmer Labour would still be in S&D or you think they would join EPP/ECR?
