Andrew picks and chooses which bits of history exist. It is classic blood and soil nationalism.

Andrews says that most women want something that is, by definition, non-consensual and forced upon them.

Because Andrew is an absolute numbskull who doesn't understand language, consent, desire, or empathy.

Andrew is apparently a danger to women, and wants to be a rapist.

Now watch his hand speed and where he throws from when he's really going toe-to-toe with proper fighters.

What if we could make entirely voluntary contributions to saving the history because we cherish understanding the past, and *also* make donations to other causes that are worthy.

Imagine such a thing.

Or must we solve problems in rank order of what is "better", as adjudged by who?

I have no idea why you think a jaw is particularly tough - people suffer broken jaws in street brawls between unfit non-athletes. AJ is an immensely powerful puncher, and Paul has never taken a shot like that before.

Watch the punch in real time, then have a look at AJ boxing a proper pro.

You truly are the Pol Pot of batter-based commestibles.

It is fairly clear to me that the punch isn't delivered with full power. It is slow and he doesn't wind up to it. AJ did him a favour by only breaking his jaw. He did him him no favours at all by getting involved in a dangerous circus in the first place.

And 18 U.S.C. § 2381? Trump and his cabinet have regularly accused political opponents of treason. The President would undoubtedly face stiff domestic opposition to an outrageously unjust war. Would they try to claim it was aid and comfort to their enemies?

The UK needs to decide to commit long term support to domestic manufacturing, and if so, what to produce.

Other Grangemouth investments in industrial biotech (MiAlgae and Celtic Renewables) are more forward-looking and exciting to me.

Lack of support for bioethanol in the NE of England, less so.

It isn't really a market success when the commodities market is being skewed by subsidies, tarrifs, and the impacts of sanctions on feedstocks.

This is trade war and actual war impacting the price of imports.

But I agree with your substantial analysis the last three sentences in any case.

Although I can't voucher for the accuracy of this transcript, the reasoning is set out in some detail here.

(I would understand waiting for the sentencing remarks to be officially published.)

Good question. My understanding is cheap imports into Europe of ethylene have undermined the commodity price. We are beholden to international markets.

We can choose to maintain sovereign production, but global corporates can manufacture anywhere. So public investment steps in. Market failure.

Direct employment is relatively low, but downstream jobs and industries are huge.
December 17, 2025 at 6:25 AM
Ethylene production is infrastructure. The number of downstream jobs and industries, in manufacturing and agriculture, which rely on ethylene production is enormous. If we don't make it, we either have to import it, or the food and goods that require it. And direct and indirect employment is lost.
December 17, 2025 at 6:21 AM
The UK wouldn't stop using ethylene and its derivatives if we let the plant close, we'd just have to import them at significant environmental and economic cost. Or we import finished goods and food that rely on ethylene.

Materials demands don't magically dissappear if infrastructure closes.

I mean, did this joshing happen to Rob's face, or just in Adam's head?

It is rather pathetic of Adam to try to cast himself as the lead in this little story of his.

I agree; I find her activism repugnant.

But I can still see why Governments have waved through Opposition nominees whether or not they agree with them.

(And I'm not even guessing what Government really thought here, given their record on trans rights.)

It isn't difficult. The mass shooting was religiously motivated terror, or at least understood that way.

Cutting through the toxic commonplace narrative of 'Muslims versus Jews' is important.
December 15, 2025 at 6:51 PM
By convention, the PM accepts the list of nominations made by the Leader of the Opposition. It's easy to see why, given they might end up in Opposition, and without managing to pass reforms of the Second Chamber.

Is Davies' peerage welcomed by Starmer? Dunno. Would he block it if not? Unlikely.

If he wasn't trying to score points, he wouldn't exist.

His politics have always been entirely negative. He's never tried to actually make anything except political platforms for his own enrichment. Always built from the rubble of destruction.

We're living through times when purity and piety is valued over honesty and generosity.

CS is one of the silliest and most honest portraits of male relationships I know of. Strip away the characters and juvenalia, and the beating heart of it is no less powerful.

Plus, it is cracking good fun.
December 14, 2025 at 9:22 PM
We all knew exactly what you meant. Sort of. Not really.

Top quality bollocks, obviously from a place of love. The sentiment is what matters!

I think you're losing sight of what you said, or moving the goalposts.

How many states have banned Sky because they believe there's a radicalising effects of obvious right wing idiots?

Radicalisation is much more organised and deliberate, even if extremists do complain about mainstream media bias.
December 14, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Probably, yes - primarily. The difference between being merely bigoted and murderous is not just suffering everyday racism. Extremist radicalisation has an entire and very deliberately crafted infrastructure behind it. All media consumption then becomes an exercise in confirmation bias.
