'This is one of the grimmest things I've ever read about my country.'
'They are taking the mickey!'
@mrjamesob reacts to the Royal Family's 'obviously egregious and completely indefensible' receipt of millions in rent income from the NHS, schools, and the armed forces.
Bigots who’ve built entire careers inciting precisely the evil we’re witnessing did not ‘warn’ of it. The only honest ‘warnings’ came from people who explained what would happen if we kept giving racist liars newspaper columns, TV & radio slots & season tickets for Question Time.
A quick favour...

Man in blue, "Thames Water on the verge of going bust.. The water industry is the perfect business model.. Their market is every home, every business.. Their customers are forced to use their company.. There's zero competition.. They're selling a product made up of 70% of the earth's surface.. If you cannot get that right, you should not be running a business" #BBCQT
Truss's decline is simultaneously tragic & horrifying but the claim that the media conspired against her can't go unchallenged. There are literal front pages praising her to the rafters & Telegraph comment writers in particular couldn't get enough. She was undone by reality.
The Home Secretary deliberately incited hate & violence on Armistice Day at the actual Cenotaph. Household name journalists, editors & politicians gleefully joined in. This is not normal. They will be absolutely livid that the peace march proceeded peacefully. They are dangerous.
"That type of comment is an unsolicited observation of a woman’s appearance while she is at her place of work, at its bare bones."

I keep being asked what I make of the UFO thing in Congress yesterday, so here it is: I watched a few clips and saw some people who seemed to believe stuff saying extraordinary things without presenting extraordinary evidence. Therefore I have nothing more to say, other than: It would be great if true - it would take a bit of the pressure off our civilisation if we weren’t the only means within the Milky Way by which the Universe understands itself. Sadly, as of today, I still feel that pressure, so can we perhaps focus on not messing our world up rather than hoping that, to paraphrase Sagan, someone will float down to save us from ourselves.
"Clearly, Jordan Henderson's support only goes up to a certain point"
Take two minutes to listen to this from @lukeaaronmoore on reports of Jordan Henderson's move to Saudi Arabia.
You won't regret it.

We understand that members of the public may be concerned that officers are making arrests to prevent any disruption to the #Coronation
Of course people have the right to protest & express their views
Unfortunately we don’t care about those rights today. Compliance is expected
This is totally at odds with the British values of which we Will be hearing a huge amount today. It will backfire as did the chorus of millions. And is totally unnecessary. It’s what happens when the police take their lead from political messaging
