In the same way that 'unicorn dung' isn't a super useful term.

Mainly, because nobody is putting up billboards saying that there isn't anything wrong going on in Myanmar

It was the Tory vote collapsing that decided the election result. Tactical voting wasn't a significant factor.

That the term "Guardian reader" is a byword for leftism tells you a lot about how poor UK media literacy is and nothing about the Guardian, which is a soft right paper.

I think some people voted Labour believing it made them a good guy and now can't admit that they were wrong and, worse, that scruffy, shouty lefties and sandal-recycling green types were right.

Shouldn't it be different now though? Why are Tory policies better because Labour are carrying them out?

Quick little fact check here: Israel has armed the Burmese military for decades, including during the Rohingya Genocide. Protesting Israel’s genocidal regime directly and materially benefits the people of Myanmar.

Uber driver taking the correct route round Sefton Park to mine instead of the weird Aigburth Vale route that's longer and adds two sets of traffic lights. Result.

A screenshot of tweets from JK R*wling re the open letter on the Polari Prize longlist in which a Twitter user asks Grok if this person got into an argument with a museum pertaining to the holocaust. 
Grok replies:
Yes, J.K. Rowling disputed claims that Nazis targeted trans people and burned trans research, calling it a "fever dream." Critics accused her of Holocaust denial, but she maintains it's a historical correction, not denial. Evidence shows Nazis did persecute LGBTQ+ individuals, including some trans cases.

The twitter user then clarified they meant 'the other author mentioned' [John Boyne]. 

Grok: Yes, John Boyne sparked controversy in 2020 by criticizing Auschwitz-themed book titles. The Auschwitz Museum responded, advising against using his novel "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" for Holocaust education due to historical inaccuracies. Boyne defended it as a fable, not fact, and later dismissed the spat as an "urban myth."
ElaAI: Is the book inaccurate? Please be truthful and thorough.
Grok: Yes, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" contains major historical inaccuracies, as criticized by the Auschwitz Museum and historians. Key issues: Bruno's ignorance of Nazism is implausible for a commandant's son; Shmuel, a Jewish boy, would have been gassed immediately, not survived long-term; the fence meetings and crawl-under escape defy camp security. The story falsely implies widespread German unawareness of the Holocaust. The Museum advises against using it for education, deeming it a fable that distorts facts. Boyne defends it as non-historical fiction. (347 chars)

The nationalist myth that Scotland has been a gunpoint hostage of the dastardly English for 300 years shouldn't have survived past the first cannon-laden celebration of Armed Forces Day at Ibrox.

I'm a Scot who wants Trident scrapped but this isn't true. Nowhere in England has the geography for a deep water base except Devonport, which is in a busy shipping lane and too far from the GIUK gap. I don't remember Scotland having this self-pitying persecution complex before the rise of the SNP.
