It's not that the Great British public can't fall for the same scams over and over again, given they elected Boris Johnson, it's a combination of 1) a virulent right-wing press that with the possible exception of Blair's first term always portrays Labour governments in the worst possible light and
Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

Indeed, please rail against because her music is terrible and she's another pop star you're not allowed to criticise in spite of that

I do love stuff like this which just shows how insular and fucked up our discourse is. Oh no, this wrongly imprisoned guy reflected the opinions of the average non-Israeli in that he rightly despises Israel! What a bastard!

Cockburn on the LRB podcast here, observing that the upshot of the War on Terror is that almost every independent state between Libya and Afghanistan has either been brought to heel, or smashed into an ungovernable mess that can’t defend itself. And that this was the entire point.

Indeed, even if your husband is a fat slob Minecraft YouTuber, you're a bathroom obsessed weirdo and your kids have been nurtured with those qualities, as it will keep you away from the rest of us
Yeah, no thanks.
Stop guilting people about being estranged from family members. It someone is they likely have personal reasons for being so.

Apart from anything else, Fulnecky is just a world class American name isn't it, which makes it sad it's paired with something as basic as Samantha. Has to be coupled with Kayden or Krystal or Starla or Neveah or Serenity for its full spectrum power to be unleashed

As said over on the other place, sure, make chants of "globalise the intifada" a racially aggravated public order offence if you like. By the same yardstick, chanting "Allah, Allah, who the fuck is Allah" clearly is as well, and I look forward to the police wading in at the next fascist march.
