Which is which?

If you were looking for an exposition of what British values *could* be you could do a lot worse than Ian McKellen wielding Shakespeare like a rapier.

Journalism exists to report the performance but fails in the more crucial task to probe the difference.

I think it explains itself in the phrase “then I made a proper Brexit of it”

But I’m keeping my thermal vest on for a month or two yet.

Attention all news outlets. The Beckhams. I’m not interested.

There are snowdrops, violets and primroses, buds are forming. Very soon the birds will start their courtships. The world turns.

World would be a ‘better place’ if US took over Greenland, says Nigel Farage Reform leader says he agrees ‘strategically’ with Trump but adds that views of Greenlanders must be respected

Farage has the unbelievable nerve to talk at Davos about Britain’s “moral decline”.

This repulsive piece of shit IS Britain’s moral decline. He’s betrayed our country for self-interest, prejudice and greed. Shame on everyone who’s allowed that.

His love of easy money and aversion to actual work surely make “future PM” an unlikely conclusion to his parliamentary career. But who succeeds him?

Mark Carney has delivered one of the most important speeches of our era. There is a better future waiting for Britain if we dare to follow his example.

Every single thing the Brexity Right said has been proven 100% wrong, indeed much of it a pack of lies. Everything those of us who warned about the populist Right said has been proved 100% correct. Choose your side.

“Working”?

Given Farage’s evasion of work as either an MP or MEP, can we see him as a possible PM? Casting the UK adrift for the vultures to move in is the aim, let others do the hard stuff.

Yes, please!
