Difficult to say what causes people to lose their minds about immigrants and asylum seekers. Just another one of those unexplainable phenomena, I guess. Oh well.
I'd imagine they knew damn well what was going to happen. It's the pretext for fighting an election on getting out of the ECHR so woke lefty laywers can't stop us protecing our borders etc.
The Labour right, as they're commonly known. All they do is wreck, even when they've been given the top jobs. Just the most undisciplined, unprofessional shitheads imaginable.
Headline made me chuckle, tho, I have to admit.
Hustle - sports drama starring Adam Sandler as a weary old basketball scout trying to get an unknown but talented player into the NBA. Formulaic stuff, but well done. 7/10
Just kind of have to marvel at this faction of the party. Absolutely no discernible talent besides gossiping to the press and setting things on fire. And the best part is they'll 100% do it to the next guy, too. Incredible people.

Dunno mate. The Times have been pushing great replacement theory for over a decade now, with one of their writers even managing to make it into the manifesto of one of the world's most notorious mass murderers. Haven't seen much reputational damage to either the writer or the paper on the back of that. Christ, she still has a weekly slot on Radio 4's moral maze.
The influence of random Twitter nutters is absolutely tiny in comparison. And that's before you even get on to where the nutters are getting their information from (mostly the British press).
Maybe his appeal had something to do with media bullshit. Or maybe everyone was just really impressed when he drove that tractor through a polystyrene wall emblazoned with the words Get Brexit Done, then ran off and hid in a fridge. Difficult to say, really.
Interesting to see who eventually replaces him. Another Brexity culture war dickhead, or one of those good Tories you keep hearing about.
I suspect an election fought on competency/who's the best manager would be just about in Labour's favour, so maybe they'll go for another of the wingnuts and instead fight it on scrapping the human rights act and stomping on the transgenders.
Either way, a lot to look forward to.
