Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

Neither of them eventually brought them in, for excellent reasons.

It would also be an incentive to create policies to raise the average wealth of the population.

The first wave, yes. The second wave elicited a UN Security Council resolution to demand troop withdrawal.

β€œI will give you a list.”

Will you? Because your current record on issuing lists is less than stellar, and if you’re suddenly in the business of handing them out, that’s not the one we have in mind.

Some of these are objectively correct, and yet others make me to be angry. Truly we are complex beings.

Well, that, fear of the Sun and Β£8 pints.

As I understand it, the brother of the cheating Major on Millionaire is married to Captain Tom's daughter.

I thought it was well established that Muggeridge and Stockwood both turned up too late to the screening to see that bit, as they were enjoying a particularly good lunch...

I don’t think anyone has ever made any allegations about Pratchett beyond saying he was an extremely nice man…

Yet that might be the single greatest joke ever committed to the screen.

You’d hope (after you’d hoped that it wouldn’t happen at all) that if the UK had launched the invasion that led to said protracted major war, they’d have built enough kit in advance and been realistic about its lasting more than three days.

The English get what *some* of the English vote for. That’s the pain of FPTP. The English don’t vote as a bloc, and many parts of England *also* get screwed, alongside the less populous members of the Union.

Not even *all* the English voters! We often get screwed too!

A careful read - or even a lackadaisical one - would show I never did that.

I’d rather Scotland didn’t leave the Union, but who am I to stand in the way of the democratic will of the Scots if they so desire? But let’s not pretend unpicking it all will be *easy*. That’s childish.

The border that required a specific protocol with a revisionary framework - which in turn could not be ratified until a new executive could be put in place - for fear of inflaming sectarian violence? As a result of leaving a customs union rather than a sovereign entity? Sure, we’ll just do that. πŸ‘

What, the one so fraught with threats of sectarian violence if it was affected too far one way or the other that it was a barrier to a series of international agreements? That one?

Rarely has one of those places just seceded from a union with the other one.

He’d remain a UDFA while someone worked out if it was possible to run the country with his Disney waxwork and an autopen. Spoiler alert: massive improvement.
