Why didn't you self-censor the second one? Is it because you think they wouldn't be able to read it anyway?

My favourite insult is "you look like someone who would like Dubai"

This would be a great topic for analysis by the FT. What do you reckon, @jburnmurdoch.ft.com?

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

I suppose it's bad form to suggest violence?

Maybe someone should squeeze a lemon in his eye

Jenrick's big problem is that most people don't know about him at all, but anyone who does regards him as a slimy, unprincipled piece of shit. Which is not a good base for leading the Tories to victory, regardless of TikTok videos at tube stations.

A similar amount of damage could be done by dropping a mortar round from a DJI drone, launched from a nearby boat.

I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.

Very much!

Not many have referred to Trump and his cronies as 'fascists'. The media as a whole is failing us terribly, with few exceptions.

Even better, you don't need a weather app at all.

Much safer to not install Apps if a browser can be used instead.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered virtually all of the U.S. military’s top commanders worldwide to gather on short notice — and without a stated reason — at a Marine Corps base in Virginia next week.

Here’s what we know:

Hegseth orders rare, urgent meeting of hundreds of generals, admirals

The Pentagon has summoned military officials from around the world for a gathering in Virginia. Top generals and their staffs don’t know the reason for the meeting.

This isn't about antifa, this is about the NGO's. The goal here is to eliminate philanthropic support to major liberal groups through intimidation. They're going to starve liberal groups of funding while hitting them with millions in legal fees from investigations.

Trump to sign order designating antifa a terrorist organization

U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order as soon as Monday designating the antifa movement a "terrorist organization," the White House said, after promising actions targeting left-wing groups following Charlie Kirk's assassination.
