But they won't, because it's who they are.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

How the simmering UK freedom of speech row reached boiling point

How did we reach a point where the UK is being compared to a 'tin pot Third World dictatorship'?

Interesting although I can't see Labour only winning 11 seats, that doesn't seem feasible to me.

Quite. It's also a guaranteed voter winner, so who cares if it's good policy or not.

More tweets from Charlie Kirk over just the last few days. They are an impressive mix of hatred towards: Blacks, immigrants, women, immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQ, academics.

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

If he does lose bail it'll just add fuel to his "I'm a martyr" fire. Could be a deliberate ploy (although no doubt you are correct about his addiction).

Define a "normal" senate. If your institutions are so easily captured they're not worth much.

Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"

My friend sent me the Brand New UK tour dates last night. Pretty depressing that they'll easily sell out those huge venues despite the front man admitting to being a nonce.

Very jealous of everyone Wales away in Kazakhstan right now. On the plus side the early start means I can watch it with my kids at least.
