Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Lights go out across Moscow.

Due to “accidents”.

A blackout has affected an entire district of Moscow. Due to an accident at a substation, dozens of houses in Novye Vatutinki are powerless.

The electricity, water, heating, and internet went out. Some residents were trapped in elevators.

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Like, a young orphan goat herder driven by unknown destiny to know an old dude in a hood for ten minutes shortly before teaming up with a drug dealer & his occasional bear to literally kill thousands of government employees in their workplace by flying right up their trench? Sounds bold.

Well, I was going to but then I got trounced by the Squirrel & his facts & stuff. I mean, facts. I ask you? That's just an unfair advantage. Nobody in Vladivostok owns a fact. Not since the sanctions. I'm thinking of becoming a goat herder now.
