If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it.
We cannot allow him & others to rewrite history.

William Pitt the Elder is one of the most amazing "what ifs" in British history. Without the gout, would he have been as focused a leader? But with it, his brilliant career ended not with a bang but a whimper. (And a thud.) #ukhistory

That includes Farage and Reform Ltd.

Despite appearances, this weird and wonderful creature is not a jellyfish! They're sometimes found washed up on our shores after westerly winds. Look but don't touch - they give a very nasty sting.

Ffs. Really!? Elon would most certainly be an emperor of his time: if things were good- it would tick along (Hadrian). If things were bad he would have been eaten alive. (Too many to name). He has the arrogance that so many ‘also ran’ emperors had. He is not a genius- no one that bigoted can be.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
