You’ll be *shocked* to discover that this article does not contain a single mention of cold reading.

Citation very much fucking needed.

By extension this implies there’s no innocents anywhere. It’s apocalyptic in it’s logic. It’s the language of terrorism.

Harry Yorke from The Times on the radio saying, “someone pointed out to me the other day that Reform is actually a limited company”. I suspect that was actually because he read @TomMcTague’s recent piece on Reform.
