I love those lovely people in Portland.

I will now use the term a "warm palmer" as a euphemism for onanism.

Either that or GOP is Fox propaganda. Two sides of the same filthy coin.

They might be manipulative, evil, and delibertly provocative but never forget they the people leading the Republican party are thick as mince.

Jenrick has the platform to say what he wants – and he did, without being shut down.
That’s free speech for you.
But it works both ways: if he says vile, bigoted, xenophobic and demonstrably false things, then he’s going to be called out for it.
Racist statements will lead to being called a racist.

It's rather pertinant that The Rest is History just covered Enoch Powell this week.

Spot on. The only narrative about AI comes from the owners and investors.

For most people, it's a gimmick. Specialists might get some useful data analysis, but that bubble is primed to pop.

Click bait - it turns out they were literal.

If it looks like a long gourd
And it lives in a warm Fjord,
That's a Moray.

Need to be accurate with the salinity and water temperature.

That tax avoidance in the UK should not be possible.

A man who has built his entire image on xenophobia, complaining that people are calling him out for being racist...

Just out of interest, how much is ICE and detention costing the government?

Would it not be better to fast track into green card status so people can start earning legitimately and paying tax?

His migrant plan is racist. The words out of his mouth are xenophobic bile.

The only thing he seems to hate more than foreigners is paying tax.

This man shafted this country for self-interest and is intent on doing it again.

Shame him and shun him.

Well, I'm glad as leader of a major party, you're not all flying flags, yelling "never surrender".

This country ...

As a Newcastle fan, more gutted for Tino than the result.

Well played, Arsenal. It was pretty close there.

The crowd there appeared to be quite vulgar.

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
You're all right now.
You were a bit rough going through puberty, though.
You'll be old and haggard fairly soon, though, mate.

The irony of Trump criticising ABC as a Democratic platform when Fox exists.

Although irony is something he's probably not all that in tune with.

No, Joe, it's not crazy. It's authoritarianism.

Good.
