Don't tell me they're as bad as each other, you can't be that stupid
Also, I grew up in East London/Essex in the 70s
Looking back the amount of casual, ignorant, thoughtless racism was huge
But even then the people who were overtly and deliberately racist were thought to be unpleasant.

Generally I don'tcare what the 25% of the electorate who will vote Reform whatever (or because of) Farage says, I want to see Labour target the 75% who don't, put forward the progressive, even socialist(!) agenda that will get >50% of the vote like it has at every GE since WW2
PR now!

Giving Infantino too much credit, he's right up there on the corrupt idiot scale

Being priced out though, is due to Russian, Chinese, Saudi, etc investors not " immigrants" but let's ignore that distinction

Would this also apply to the USA, restoring sovereignty to the states?

No, it's Winterval...

It's something that always amazes me about authors who produce many stand alone books...the fiction that hooks me has great world building, you get a sense other stories could be happening elsewhere...to do that time and again (I'm thinking Tchaikovsky and Scalzi particularly) is amazing

He might also want to consider that if he's the same as Bernard Manning and Love They Neighbour, no one sees them any more, so maybe the same should apply to him

Agreed, especially when, despite my listening bring almost exclusively blues rock, plus my mates home made prog albums, I have an age of 21
So boring, and bollocks

Much more interested in Reeves exact position in a chess competition than Farage jackbooting around his very exclusive private school

They both start $25...
He can't concentrate beyond that so they're the same

Feels like dialogue written by AI, all the words are words, but the sentence makes no sense...sure they're not robots?

But what Farage did at 14 just youthful high jinks, no pretense at any logic now

I'm sorry Avocados but you went to university and now you're paying, effectively, a higher tax rate on earnings over a certain amount to help fund education going forward
The inequitable part of that tax is that a rich mummy and daddy could buy their offspring out of it, not that it exists

Tbh, this is why I think there needs to be a review - the massive over-medicalisation of what, in a lot of cases are personality traits or general worries and sadness, means that those who really the need the support get overlooked - often because they are the worst placed or able to push their case

Lord Alli, a Labour peer, do not a great leap to supporting Labour
Crypto bro, though...

So, 2 people on a boat illegally shot at try to find a way to get the boat going to make it out alive, and that makes them a threat?
