What a terrible indictment of all the UK's news media!

As with a few mother issues (crime, maybe housebuilding, ratio of population to land area,..) the public are largely inhabiting a dreamworld, the fever dream of Paul Dacre and the rest of the institutional racists who've run the county for the last 40 years

@stimpunks I get where you're coming from, and bless you for bringing a bit of positivity, but... you could say the same thing for the barker's egg I trod in the other day
Why do Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting want to distract from the Epstein files, eh? That's what I want to know

What're the odds that the US ends up not with an illiberal pseudo-democracy run by President for Life Generalissimo Trump, but an illiberal pseudo-democracy run by whoever deposes him in a palace coup?

Timing would be a tricky call for any such hypothetical plotters. You need to wait until his mental incapacity is obvious to the electorate, but not so long that he nukes Europe ...

But, F/F/S.

We need a world government so we can have someone bundle him into a van at 4am, then put him on trial for his innumerable crimes.

Not here. "Culture war" is connected outrage about people making an effort not to be assholes. Plus the columnist call outs on the front page of the Telegraph. (Tell Musk to cancel Starship, Alistair Heath is already in orbit.)
@azonenberg how would it be monitored or enforced?
