@timjcarden You do know he is a criminal and an adjudicated rapist, right? Calling him a genius makes you look like a bit of a numpty.

@tomcoates It’s very odd that you can consent to someone committing GBH on you if your activity is televised and has a governing body, but you can’t consent to various BDSM practices, carried out in private. Maybe there should be a BDSM governing body.

@lewis_goodall Eh? Biden can’t stand the fucker.

@AdamEisgrau @OpenAI Hang on - is this a judge who doesn’t know that copyright infringement and plagiarism are two completely different things? Am I missing something?

@SankaraToure @GreenJennyJones “Food bank” is already a euphemism. “Soup kitchen”’ would be a little closer to the mark.

@trussliz @realDonaldTrump He’s a fucking rapist, you hideous pile of cess.

[William of Ockham @OccamsLaser]

@TATBUILT003 @CalltoActivism He’s a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist. He therefore has zero reputation which can suffer loss. That is basic defamation law.

And of course there is no greater political slur than “centrist”.

@mbga_uk @remain_central Wouldn’t you say it’s a bit snowflakey to run away from something you don’t like, rather than staying to try to fix it?

[William of Ockham @OccamsLaser]

@englishachilles @remain_central They were both polls. One is very old and now out of date. Neither has any legal effect. I don’t understand what “beat” means in this context.

@RhonddaBryant @BeatsSurrender I’ve got a great deal of respect for you, Chris. Please don’t fuck it all up and go all Starmer on us.

@PME_Politics @SamMarkWill @Sanny_Rudra @northernassist Good point. Potentially unenforceable under the consumer rights act.

@holte @EvsSimon Don’t forget that Badenoch confessed to what seems to be a criminal breach of the Computer Misuse Act.

[William of Ockham @OccamsLaser]

@RisleyJoanne Truth and reconciliation assumes there was misconduct on both sides, and that therefore the failings of both need to be forgiven in order to reach the truth. I do not believe that’s the case here.

[William of Ockham @OccamsLaser]

@ktmarine1 @SirBylHolte And yet if you want a President, you select a senile, criminal, treasonous, lying, grifting, classless, two-bit, self-confessed sex-pest?

@Hedd_Wyn_John @alexhallhall I’m still waiting for someone to tell me where in the legislation it says that, or indeed that the vote was in any way binding at all.

[William of Ockham @OccamsLaser]

@BladeoftheS @davstir The directors *must* be subject to disqualification proceedings. Any bailout must be on the condition that they are treated as if the company had gone bust.

[William of Ockham @OccamsLaser]

@hkatewilliams @MartinRemains I’m surprised they weren’t also convicted of public indecency given a thin layer or two of fabric was all that separated them from complete nakedness.

[William of Ockham @OccamsLaser]

@tlrdrkmrgn @pmarca …that it matters directors must act in the best interests of the company, and lawmakers have to act in the best interests of the country. That politicians don’t (with a few exceptions) try to run the country like a business suggests they reject your premise.

[William of Ockham @OccamsLaser]

@tlrdrkmrgn @pmarca That’s a moronic idea. First, it assumes that assumes that national finances are like company finances. They are not, even remotely. Second, businesses are designed to be able to fail while insulating shareholders. That’s a dreadful way to run a country. Third, to the extent…
