Oh and they're not Christians either. They're just bigots, and I don't doubt some of them are in the closet too.

Fuck these fucking people who can't mind their own business. If the government is serious about quasi military dressup being threatening then they should come down hard on this. It's not protest, it's intimidation.

Interesting that Opinium/The Observer doesn't think it's worth asking Welsh and Scottish voters about Swinney or ap Iorwerth.

In the 1970s, no British actors could do a convincing American accent, and now they all can. It's like how birds learned to drink cream through milk bottle tops.

Absolutely. They consider serious candidates, not people who make grandiose claims to have single handedly ended conflicts that they had nothing to do with ending or which do not, in fact, exist.
