On this night (5th March) in 1988, the Scala Cinema was showing The Exorcist (1973), A Boy And His Dog (1975), Enter The Dragon (1973) and Dirty Harry (1971) as what was billed as a 70s Shockers All-nighter.

one of the very tiring things about politics from 2015 on is the two tiered system election system where there are real candidates who have to be perfect in every single way and anything in their record any statement can be used to disqualify them

and clown vibe candidates who are never accountable

Most Reform members believe non-white UK citizens born abroad should be forced or encouraged to leave, poll finds Nigel Farage’s recent efforts to woo centre-ground voters may cause tension in party’s right flank, says Hope Not Hate

Do recent recruits not realise that their own voters want to deport them and/or their parents or do they just not care?

I think your historic take on the Bengal famine smacks of soundbites you read on social media, but that's okay, if it makes you feel better then why not? I wasn't defending Empire either way. Cool profile pic

It was absolutely Churchill's policy to starve Bengal and that's in fact why he became PM

Yes he absolutely starved them all himself and it was all his doing and that was his actual kick in life.

I don't mind Trump calling us a stupid island tbf - Scotland didn't even want to be a country in 2014 plus Brexit. Both pretty stupid.

I turn the channel every single fucking time a station is stupid enough to platform Douglas "Boris Johnson will never be Prime Minister" Alexander. The feckless idiot told Scots to vote against independence and that was part of his argument. Thick as mince.

Farage and the mainstream media are much graver risks to British democracy, constantly spouting nonsense and worse.

I knew someone was going to say that but the evidence this only happened due to foreign interference or influence is dubious as fuck.
