To be fair I assume it was more of an internal LDP decision that the only path forward would be to double down, since leadership was only elected after the election? But I don't know for sure.

I really think people are underestimating the degree to which 21st century politics are going to be apocalyptically bad; we are collectively sliding towards mass ethnic cleansing being the norm in the Western World, out of no reason but pure fucking spite and empty nostalgia.

Tory policy is to revoke permanent residence (ILR) for everybody who does not earn £38k - deporting most nurses who have ILR

This is put in the video as "who is unlikely to contribute more than they cost"

NB: video does not say EU settled status is exempt

No govt since Idi Amin has done this

Yeah, the unfortunate thing about this story is that I only found out about it from black supremacist Tariq Nasheed's documentary about how white people were conspiring to turn black men gay, since Hammond also wrote what were likely love letters to a man.

In fairness, I think her degree is related to agriculture (can't find the post referencing it) so she would be an expert in the production of large quantities of bullshit

The AI generated overview of reviews for a V for Vendetta costume says it's "ideal for both Halloween and rioting scenarios" in case you were looking for that sort of thing.

Customers say
Customers find the costume set to be of good quality, with one mentioning it's ideal for both Halloween and rioting scenarios. They consider it good value for money.

I am curious; are rich people more likely to pay for drugs than they are for sex? I would assume so, there's no assumption people will give you free drugs and getting them for free doesn't make it more legal, but definitely revealing as to how much of a role legality plays I imagine.

Like I think people complaining that "the friend zone" is reductive has wrapped around to people thinking you should go straight from not knowing each other to dating or else it's deceptive. bsky.app/profile/appa...
