I routinely post calling out the right wing morons and yes this includes so called "Labour". My feed suggestions are peppered with Farage, Robinson and other stupidity.

Of course they are. You've demonstrated that you will interact with right wing morons. They are giving you right wing morons.

People lived horrible lives in previous ages and still had lots of kids. Of course the answer to that was plenty of rape.

Actually, lack of reliable contraception was a much bigger contributer to the higher birthrate than rape.

Because he was headlining all 3 days. There is not a chance of getting 3 acts of similar clout to play at this short notice. At which point the event is far enough from what was advertised that they'd have to give refunds to the shitload of angry customers demanding them. Better to just cancel now.

The reason he went to war is because Israel forced hm to, with the epstein blackmail.

But what do they have that would cause any actual harm to him? You could release genuine videos of Trump fucking children, and he still wouldn't see any consequences.

But the fact is people in the US now are typically either pretty far left or pretty far right.

This is interesting. From the outside it looks like you have a lot of far right groups - the Republicans being the biggest example of an organised political presence. The Democrats are centre-right at best, but presumably you're talking about the people, not the political parties? In which case, surely it's on the Democrats to move left to meet the people? And if as many people are as far left as you say, that should be simple...

That's a bit unfair - those schoolgirls lived a very long way from America, and they didn't even speak English!

That's a particular register known as headlinese, and has been used pretty much since the start of newspaper publication.

It's possible that some of them don't want to admit to a stranger that they'd change their vote.

Surely it's more likely that Trump voters who have changed their minds don't want to admit that they were previously Trump voters?

We all agreed on what to do with Nazis 80 years ago.

Sneak them into the USA to work as high level civil servants and scientists?

I don't think that will really help now, tbh.

Oh absolutely.

But members of the current administration do not strike me as craft beer enthusiasts.

At this point, there isn't much that can surprise us any more when it comes to the US

USA: Hold my (watery) beer.

 

I wonder how many levels of remove are needed before the police will actually leave you alone.

"I support people who support people who support the Palestine Action hunger strikers' mums"

"I explicitly oppose all actions of Palestine Action, but support every one of their members on a purely personal level"

"I support Palestine Action if the police officer who arrests me is a wanker, otherwise I don't"

"Sometimes I support Palestine Action, but only when there are no people under the age of 80 within 50 metres of me"

 

As well as discussing how the Greens won't be able to deliver on their promises, he also talks about why Labour are going to raise tax, despite promising not to, and how great ID cards are going to be, despite the fact that ID cards were not on the manifesto.
