Worlds worst interviewee
Apparently the UK is the only one of the main 5 countries that has a majority in favour of peacekeepers being based in Ukraine

Oof

But also does make me somewhat more patriotic ngl

Apparently Farage is predicting a 2027 election

Lol

So the news over the last few days:
Mass shooting on a university campus
Antisemitic mass shooting
Hong Kongs last pro democracy party disbands and pro democracy journalists convicted
The far right wins power in Chile

Anything else gonna go to shit before the weekend?

This is also a reminder as to why it is incredibly dangerous for politicians (typically on the right) to demand police reveal more details of suspects whilst they're still investigating.
When your “exclusive” lasts all of 7 hours, because you publicly named a guy who was never charged with a crime, and who now is being hounded by trolls, and will have this show up in internet searches for the rest of his life.

God what a depressing day just across the board. Absolutely everything feels like it’s just getting worse

Incredibly sad to see the winding up of the Democratic Party in Hong Kong. They should be applauded for doing their best throughout their existence to protect the rights of Hong Kongers.

It’s ironic how often China insists western politicians don’t understand Chinas point of view considering they have rarely understood ours. Apparently Chinese officials were just confused about feelings of moral responsibility towards Hong Kongers by British negotiators

Fun little bit of historical trivia. The original “1 China 2 systems” plan would have allowed for Taiwan to maintain its own military in the event of unification, which is kinda insane to think about today

Including the heads of Nvidia and AMD seems a bit harsh considering both companies actually do output goods and services that turn a profit without needing massive financial support
I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

For all of John majors failings, and the appalling way the handover of Hong Kong was conducted in general, appointing Chris Patten as its last governor was a commendable decision. He did genuinely try to provide some protections for the people of Hong Kong

My family are atheists. We’re all (broadly) on the left (though spread across it quite a bit), and would be considered “woke”.

We love Christmas, the idea anyone wants to cancel it is fanciful
The UK far right is increasingly infiltrating the Anglican church so this is bang on trend.

Albeit Glastonbury claims both Glasto and Baltonsborough, neither of which are actually in Glastonbury and closer to my hometowns of Pilton and West Pennard.
...
If I ever become PM I'm abolishing Glastonbury
Look we've got Glasto and Nicholas Cage, what more could you ask for

Somerset not first? Heresy
In Issue 26 we have ranked the Ceremonial Counties of England, from top to bottom...

This is not surprising in the slightest lmao. Both are so driven by a hatred of western liberalism that it has polarised them into supporting hard right authoritarians
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

Now I could be wrong (I’m not) but Russias capacity to retaliate financially is marginal at best lol

There are cities I’ve felt safer in (Tokyo for instance) but I’ve almost never felt even particularly wary when walking around London
The "London = most dangerous place on the planet" discourse is still going strong on Twitter

I've actually been surprised by how little I've felt threatened as a woman in London (having lived in Tooting and Peckham)

I loved growing up in Nottingham, but I had much, much worse experiences there tbh

Whilst by and large I’m glad the empire was deconstructed (largely) voluntarily, I still maintain that (even if there was no real alternative) the handover of Hong Kong was an appalling error of judgement

The Canadian liberals are about to be (possibly?) The only governing party to ever gain a majority midterm through defections in any national parliament

Wait the constellation class got cancelled???
America, my guy, you can’t just build Arleigh Burkes in perpetuity

Who tf wants her as PM Jesus Christ fuck offffff

There’s a country themed club/bar near where I live, a couple of my coworkers went there the other night to do line dancing.

But because it’s nearly Christmas it was Mariah Carey themed

…. Christmas themed line dancing
(It sounds awesome)

Just saw someone say capitalism is the worst part of the games industry because profit incentives kill art…

Gorl have you even seen Soviet era architecture?

The guardian: “thanks to a report we now have a snapshot of the 0.001%. The report estimates there are 56,000

Ok so firstly … I don’t need a report to find 0.001% of the world population

Also I’m assuming that has to be earners, because otherwise the number should be 80,000 because there’s ~8 bn
