Same idiots. Same press. Same mentality.
Yes - the News of the World.
Remember why they shut down?
Why is it not good, Rupert? Come on, explain please.
Or someone else can. I don't mind.
I really don't know why this hasn't been reversed yet. Especially for water companies.

Willetts wasn't thick, nor was he a techie. He did a perfectly good job without technical knowledge because he only needed an overview.

The conclusion here is that foreign born people are less likely to be criminals in jail, the opposite of what they're reporting
Meat eaters.

Back when I was on Twitter, this guy was a vile, racist bigot who wouldn't shut up and doubled down on his homophobia and racism when challenged.
The consequences of his own actions are not something I will particularly mourn.
Oh no, unions get more powerful and members benefit so more people join. Then unions get more powerful and members benefit.
Where's the downside?
The state provides education for children. No fees are charged beyond the taxes we all pay. Without public schools the state would have no problem picking up the children of the well off.

I want him to do this in some safe Tory seat.
Then I want all the parties except one to step down so it's a two horse race. I don't mind which party wins but a safe Tory seat will probably have the Lib Dems in second place.
Let REFUK split the fash vote too.
Exploit FPTP by cooperating.
A smart president would state his objectives clearly i.e. bring manufacturing back to the USA rather than to foreign nations. Then he'd consult experts on how to do this effectively. Then he'd implement those policies carefully, changing import taxes only as necessary.
He's reckless and dangerous.
I would pay good money to watch Ed Miliband go 15 rounds with Fartage.
Oh, not that kind of fight? Fartage is all bluster and bullshit. In a proper debate he has no argument. He'll back out of being challenged because, like all bullies, he's a coward.
Agreed. How do you fix this? How do you get rid of him? How do your reverse the damage he's done and is doing? How do you stop someone else doing the same thing after he's gone?
The next President needs a radical reset. None of the same old low tax low spend bullshit, you need proper investment.
Boys do this, males who lack the confidence to hold and stand by common decency. Men are supposed to have strength and confidence. That means calling someone out when they act badly.
This, of course, is not only for men to do but men need to do so because we've so often failed.
