I want either David Attenborough saying things like "the next exit should ensure the survival of this journey" and "the confused male should abandon the chase and turn around when possible", or the broken Hungarian of Mark Strong from Tinker Tailor.

I think that famed linguist professor Ádám Nádasdy wrote once (unless I Mandela'd the author) that foreigners only try to remember the local pronunciation of obscure, weird and remote places. Places that matter have names in other languages, such as Londres or Rome, nobody is saying the local name.

I love using English speaking satnav in Hungary. Some of the attempts at pronouncing place names are pure comedy, like youteeceeyay for utca (street) or Jazz Burranee for the town of Jászberény.

Yes, but how yes? Did the food packaging open at the first try without the corner tearing off or did trump die?

Not even the first LibDem sleeper agent at the head of the Tory party.

What's the current count, some 25 MPs need to jump ship to make Ed Davey LOTO? 50 if they go further to the right?

Selecting representatives based on their ability to slag off a wide variety of vulnerable people may not return the best and brightest, whoda thunk.

By "it" you mean his nudes?

There were official forms and everything. You could apply for "jewgoods" that had been catalogued by state officials.

I wish there was a mini Hungarian lesson for the many layers of "csendőrségi hangulatjelentés a zsidóvagyon kiigényléséről", because I still can't wrap my head around any of it.

It's a euphemism.

It is supremely interesting for a certain type of philosophy student who just recently discovered the "free will" discourse, and I'm happy for them to have long and deep conversations whether racist thugs could be anything other than racist thugs while the aforementioned rot in jail.

Presumably the US Opener is more expensive than the US Open. I dread to imagine how much the US Openest might cost!

Like we do with oh so many English tenses..!

We're not discussing Presbyterianism.

If you actively choose not to understand the ways wider society and Jews themselves define Jewishness, that's fine, but if you care to continue this conversation, we could all benefit from you doing a bit of home reading first.

😳 this whole exchange.. I'm as lost as a vegan punter at the pork markets!

This time however, the coffers are empty and the hate campaign doesn't seem to land as well as in previous cycles.

He usually wins well ahead of the elections using direct payments to vulnerable demographics and massive negative campaigns against both the opposition and the enemy of the season (Soros, Brussels, LGBTQ+ folks, Zelenskyy??).

He can't really. Elections rules allow for independent and opposition observers, and last time (2022) the then opposition managed to mobilise twice as many volunteers than the 20k available slots. I was one of them and I can assure you, ballot stuffing and similar abuse is virtually nonexistent.

Truth is, it doesn't matter how *you* see it. We started off from criticisms of George Soros, and he does in fact get attacked using very straightforward antisemitic tropes, even though his family had been non religious from before his birth.

You're a druid if the state says so. The persecution of Jews in the 1930-40s was not based on religious practices.

Soros' parents changed their name from Schwartz and purchased documents "proving" they were Christians, but even that would not have saved them if the war had dragged on long enough.

He's from a non-observant Jewish family.

That's certainly an opinion to be had, albeit severely uninformed.

Patience, friend. Orban is 15 points behind in the polls ahead of April's general elections.

No no no, they'll edit genes in such a way that it's a perfect child when a child, and turns on the genes for a perfect adult overnight on their 18th birthday, d'uh!

Socially inconsistent, economically unhinged.

The annoying thing is, that technique was developed by some food scientists in an actual "lab" (super fancy kitchen with super expensive equipment), and it does in fact make the meal better.

You reckon this copper watches Star Wars and identifies with the Empire?

They've been told repeatedly to go there, yet when they do, all they get is criticism.
