Well that was more entertaining than I thought it would be.

What happens when a Tory learns about empathy?

Cognitive dissonance.

Only way I can imagine Suella chasing a trans voter is with a cricket bat.

It’s pure maths. The Tory votes plus the Reform votes is a bigger sum than the Labour vote. Listen. I have to live here with these fucks so I don’t like it any more than you do. But without the collapse in the Tory vote it wouldn’t have mattered what Keir Starmer or Ed Davey did.

That’s not what happened. The right wing vote got split by dummies wanting to vote for a party further to the right than their normal brand and the centre voted for the party that was still in the centre. I mean it was a good result in that the Normal Dummy Party got kicked out but if you look at the history they have been in control for most of the past two centuries because the electorate of this country are mainly right-leaning dummies.

Letter from Charles Darwin to Asa Gray (22nd May 1860)

With respect to the theological view of the question; this is always painful to me.— I am bewildered.— I had no intention to write atheistically. But I own that I cannot see, as plainly as others do, & as I shd wish to do, evidence of design & beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent & omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidæ with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that a cat should play with mice.

Definitely. He emboldened Bush with his Christian bullshit.

Yeah, on the other hand he’s never going to face up to what he’s done so you’re right, he probably shouldn’t have brought up the single most authoritarian policy New Labour ever proposed.

Blair needs to stop sticking his oar in and give the new government time and space to crack on with fixing the mess left by the Tories. I’m sure ministers have better things to do than shoot down his bad ideas. be dragged off to prison for war crimes.

Tomatyo, Tomahto.
