This is chilling. Her last sentence has echoes of fascism.

Isn't this the problem? I'm seeing endless posts on my feed about huge rallies across the US but so what? Under the current system they can't get rid of this government or stop the destruction.

A trek round all the fading "funded by the EU" signs around the country.

I actually think I detest Vance more than Trump because he knows exactly what he's doing.

Why does every single man in the Guardian's Blind Date segment look like this:

I saw him, and interviewed him for our student magazine, back in about 1987!

I'm not a Green party member but considering both my 80-something year old mother and 17-yr old daughter have joined in the past few months tells me they must be doing something right.

I'm assuming that if by some miracle it was awarded on the back of the Gaza/Israel peace deal, it would go to the wider negotiating team eg Qataris etc rather than Trump. Which would probably piss him off as he'll think it should just be for him.

Help, is he likely to get it? He's be unbearable! Surely it's a little premature.

Thank f**k there's one decent Tory left. Can he now save his party where apparently even the One Nation lot have given up and are supporting leaving the ECHR?

Ffs. How have we got to a stage where it's ok to say "the Green agenda is dead" as if it was just a passing fad?

I still have no idea why anyone listens to these podcasts. I wonder if the bubble is bursting? It's all a bit emperor's new clothes...

Good to read that the counter protest was substantially larger than the original protest.

You really can tell from this that Will Lewis used to edit the Telegraph.

We nearly went to see it today but chose the Long Walk instead which is basically the Hunger Games in a straight line.

It probably won't even be white South Africans, it'll be Afrikaaners.

True, was looking at it from a visitors perspective, which I assumed this was not realizing he lived in Bath.
