Here too. Marches and everything.

I hear that the PSNI are going after people who named the defendant on Twitter. That should be fun.

It's all a bit like when grandparents try to discuss politics without saying anything racist but keep slipping up, isn't it?

They think they're doing really well, but the assumptions are so deeply baked in to everything they say that they're really not fooling anyone.


What does it say about the reader that they are assuming the writer is referring to NWO, lunatic shit about jews, when they mention very powerful special interest groups? I suppose the part about dealing with antisemitism is a concealed attempt to advocate for genocide?

Good one from the European Parliament: https://twitter.com/EPinUK/status/980320102183788544
“Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the age and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow.”

Nigel Farage has been rambling about the evils of anti-semitism.

Are we sure he's not just one massive April Fools joke? Because otherwise he's just being a massive hypocrite.

Not necessarily. Opposing Islamic and Eastern European immigration is related to fighting anti-semitism.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Three words.

One to donate a position of power, in this case in reference to will and determination.

One to donate a lack of flexibility and movement.

And one to connect the two together into some form of politically charged slogan.

Clearly police budgets are too high if they're able to afford to count all these murders.

Alison Saunders has agreed to resign after a disastrous tenure leading CPS due to the rash of failures to disclose evidence.

Alright. How many children are we meant to be killing each? If anyone's squeamish I can certainly exceed my quota.
