Doing the "Harry Worth" against big shop windows or mirrors.
What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

Craving for your 15 minutes of fame can lead to all sorts of evil. It's OK to remain unknown. You are known and loved by God, and that is enough.

In particular - and as I suspect many professional mariners felt - the judge noted that "His conduct was, in my view, even worse on his factual account than if the reality was a gross failure to keep proper watch"

So today Motin was handed down a sentence of six years.
The sentencing remarks and an explanation from the judge have been handed down separately, because the judge thought it important to explain his reasoning.

I have noticed a change in the tide of battle in the last day.
Russian gains are marginal. Ukrainian defenders have made tactically significant gains in the Kup'yans'k, Borova and Oleksandrivka sectors of the battlefront.
Russian military bloggers are in hysterics.

This has slowly been happening at all but flagship public universities. This would accelerate the practice, and I expect more states (including some blue states) to follow suit in the coming years.

Moments of crisis allows the public to see the failures of institutions and drives them to alternative sources of authority, usually ones that support what they already believe, which includes believing institutions are dysfunctional or corrupt, further hardening those beliefs.
can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice
