Pretty sure someone's put a teddy bear in front of him and said "imagine that's Trump, now I want you to sound like you're really, really cross with him"

Like post-Ukraine I don't think he'd have got too much push back on Europe increasing defence spending, or that the arctic will become increasingly congested. But the man's a moron being advised by morons.

He throws all his weight around, gets (some) of what he wants, then connects the dots and decides he only got those things because he threw his weight around (so he's a brilliant deal maker). In reality I he'd have got most of what he wanted, at less cost, had he just negotiated normally.

I mean, they're also conveniently missing out the whole splitting up the country / occupation / denazification stuff that went on in that 20 years.

Used to live round the corner from school. Think I managed to get my morning routine - including walking to school - down to 10 minutes

Agree. As much as I can't stand him, I think Farage is probably the "best" politician of the era. But think a) Reform are clearly over reliant on that and b) exposes them if that starts to slip under scrutiny.

It will, but we've got plenty of evidence for that already. And let's face it, people aren't sending these requests to expose his character

Yes but "hohoho we got Farage to say something silly on cameo" stopped being funny about five years ago. The man will just pocket your cash, stop being naive

I have a sneaky suspicion the fact she's a conservative has something to do with this reaction - she's the wrong sort

Regardless though.. It's just the idea that once you get past a certain age what was acceptable somehow becomes fixed. Like, even if it *were* socially acceptable (it wasn't), it's not now, and it shouldn't be beyond a 49 year old to comprehend that, especially a politician

Agree - you could always spot the kid at uni who's parents were strict on alcohol and it... wasn't good (in a similar vane, I'm very wary of the "kids and drinking as much, isn't it wonderful?" crowd

"So there's a great hotel in town. Everyone hangs around there and it's brilliant for networking. Admittedly there are a couple of nonces knocking about the place and Pete the perv keeps popping hope but someone called me a fucking scumbag so really it's all great"

Yeah I mean, would I want my kids to have access to all this stuff? Absolutely not. Is the internet and learning how to navigate the online world absolutely vital and something that's not going away? Absolutely. So 🤷.

It's also so painfully obvious she's got the "ban kids from social media" idea from Australia, which I can see arguments for and against on that one, but don't see how you can intellectually square "ban children" with "child porn is A-OK"

A quick Google tells me the last contract was negotiated in 2019 for £74,000,000 (for 7 years). So...congrats to the BBC for reducing costs, I guess?

Knew the Taxpayers Alliance would be involved, a group for whom the phrase "cost of everything, value of nothing" was invented.
