I was misinformed.

@EdmundGriffiths @thecroucher1 It's emphatically not true of PBP! Though their numbers after the last election unfortunately.

@ciarannugent Sure but they consider deportation flights to be money well spent

@ChessProblem If your criticism of FIDE is that it's controlled by oligarchs, it is senseless to prefer an alternative controlled by another oligarch. And as for propaganda, what about Freestyle's backers doing PR for KSA, one of the worst regimes on the planet?

[William @another_abyss]

@ChessProblem To say FIDE is 'doing propaganda for an ongoing war' seems a stretch to me. No doubt the Russian federation is. But FIDE banned Russia and Belarus.

@fauxfilosopher @outsidadgitator That's okay, don't bother to explain your wrong position, just assert it

@ferdinandabull @buffsoldier_96 It's not new though is it, it's been tried with disastrous consequences as mentioned above.

Fine Gael is promising tax cuts for the hospitality sector. Why? Hospitality profit growth since 2019 has seen a 3-fold increase and greatly outpaced the domestic sector. As well, the Government has produced data showing hospitality start-ups exceeding closures. So why tax cuts?

[William @another_abyss]

@broderly They did decide

[William @another_abyss]

@britt_eisnor He was almost as excited as Frances McDormand

@buffsoldier_96 But the really existing privilege of the ruling class isn't a matter of seeming, in the same way the privileges of the feudal aristocracy were threatened by bourgeois revolutions? Moreover, the contemporary far right don't seem particularly opposed to bourgeois property rights

[William @another_abyss]

@buffsoldier_96 Seems an odd definition to me. Surely any socialism is anti-bourgeois

[Edmund Griffiths @EdmundGriffiths]

Gosh, aren't we?

@harryhew @KelvinJPersonMe ‘…truly some sort of American king. His face is even on the statue of liberty.’ Beautiful. His interviews always contain treasures.

Emmanuel Macron chose a Prime Minister from the right-wing party that finished 4th in the last elections.

Michel Barnier is an old conservative who voted against the decriminalization of homosexuality.

Macron prefers an alliance with the far right than letting the left govern.
