Israel or the Jews?

It’s fucking raining

Oh yes, conspiracy theorists are never well read. You could say broadly thick as fuck and want to believe something simple that also validates their lack of intellect.

You got to think all things point towards Bill Gates being involved

A long old watch and years since I saw but remember Curtis making the point about funding left and right it didn’t really matter, Russian just wanted chaos

Presumably you’re planning to vote Reform? The good news is Farage loves Putin so maybe he can speed up the destabilisation

Fucking urban myth

I was told that the ‘The World’ was a newspaper that initially sponsored the series rather than a grandiose claim by the Yanks. Sure Badger will correct me if that is not true

Caught a bit of it yesterday and did seem interesting, enough to watch it from the start.

So many like you - it is in your head this largely fictitious left with counter arguments that practically no one is making. Makes you feel better about your argument though. Of course you will find some nutters online but don’t think I know anyone who doesn’t think immigration is problem. That is not the same as demonising all immigrants though. No easy solution but reaping consequences of so many public services having been decimated ( from austerity) thanks to the gambling finance sector lining their own pockets before 2008. There should be more police, trading standards, benefit investigators etc. and there was money for it, and still is, to ensure these gangs aren’t attracted to basically set up organised crime, claim benefits etc. Many know they can operate with impunity and exploit our liberal legislation so it is hugely attractive- it shouldn’t be. Brexit has compounded the issue too which wasn’t what the leave voters hoped for

That was my selling point to the missus

Thanks. Had plans to do a little Italian road trip this year and take in Florence. For one reason or another now, looking like will have to be next year. Even thinking should we try hiring a camper van for the first time although not sure we’d hack that - the flexibility appeals though.

This summary of the midterms gives some hope for optimism: So, in simple terms: 435 House seats — Democrats need a relatively small number of gains to take the House. 35 Senate seats — Democrats need 4 net gains to take the Senate. 36 governors — important for state politics and, in some states And the interesting thing is that the political environment is currently looking considerably more difficult for Republicans than it did after the 2024 election, with recent polling and primary turnout suggesting Democratic enthusiasm has increased.

No way Asher-Smith can beat Hunt

The athletics girls always have lovely personalities. Really wholesome sport and they all seem to like each other
