The American President (1995)

Yeah, it's hapening all over the world. The Overton window in the UK has shifted so far right that my opinions, which used to be considered a bit too mainstream by our left wing Labour party, are now considered to be dangerously left wing by the new, improved, labour party.

That's not strictly true, it happens in the UK too.

I think it's something to do with the personality trait that makes people right wing.

Nope, three common, or garden, high wing aircraft and one parasol.

As Soren Kierkegaard said:-

"There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true."

That trendline thing

That's just a viscious rumour put about by his enemies.

Note how grown up i was avoiding the enemas pun there.

Not sure why, Galileo was right.

The difference between the Cap'n's statement and flat earth theory is he's correct and flat earthers are a bunch of credulous simpletons who choose to ignore the evidence of their own eyes, let alone science.

And you don't need a unified theory of Parasols. What a Parasol is is clearly defined.

Tidy darts, Pete

I know, i seldom feel the need to use the word abomination but for this it is so apt.
