This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

It’s been remarkable to not be hungry pretty much all the time tbh. It’s a reminder than not everyone experiences life the same way.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

So, the plan is to cut English, the arts, and sociology - the degrees that actually study culture - while on another part of your platform claiming to “defend” British culture.

It’s performance nationalism with a reading age of seven.

The performing arts, sociology and anthropology are among the subjects the Conservatives would like to cut

@nycnafofella.bsky.social my friend. I know I took the piss out of you earlier but this is genuine advice as privately as I can give it.

You messed up. You assumed they were talking about Newsome. We can all see what happened. Be mature and put the phone away for a bit. It’s ok to be wrong. Peace

Ah. I’m a bit of an internet expert and I can see what’s happened here. Let me break it down so we can all calm down a bit:

The American has noisily shat himself in front of everyone else and is now complaining about the smell.

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."

Is he implying federal intervention determines political legitimacy, not ballots or courts?

I have just never understood this type of person at all

"I am going to make common cause with people who view me as subhuman for lower tax rates"

what part of "view me as subhuman" do you not get and what do you think will happen when those people no longer have to make common cause with anyone

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

if that HIGNFY Euan Blair fuckup had been about a right-winger it'd have had full front-page scandal coverage in the Mail followed by frontpage coverage across the board for the next week, days of "BBC in crisis" headline coverage by the BBC, and parliamentary questions about Tim Davie's future

Every local authority has been cut to the bone for years – this is common knowledge - but Grimey and his Reform chums swore blind that £millions were being wasted through incompetence and laziness. DOGE found fuck all - welcome to reality, dickhead.
