My most unpopular opinion is that farming out the death penalty for child murderers to the hard faced horrible cunts they share prison wings with is a societal failure and instead of relishing when one gets killed, we should be ashamed our prison system is so broken.

The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

Myself and two people who are now members of the House of Lords were driving through London in the 1990s, when we realised we had accidentally disguised ourselves as IRA terrorists.

Who could possibly have believed that the White House press secretary was lying when she said that Spain had agreed to military cooperation with the US over Iran?

What they’re basically saying is that Starmer and the UK isn’t allowed to operate an even moderately independent foreign policy outside of the United States. That is both ahistoric, wrong and weird for people who constantly tell us how sovereignty is what matters most.
