Britain, 2020.
This is not the worst. Worst is yet to come. But a story: 2 months ago, I hit deep low. Realised: journalism had failed. Authorities had failed. Politics had failed. But..now I think: fuck that shit. The EUref was illegally conducted. Thatās just fact. And one day, it will matter
So apparently a lot of folk donāt mind that the criminal justice system is broken, and are happy to vote for the people who (a) broke it and (b) are refusing to fix it.

Imagine that Jeremy Corbyn is PM, pursuing a policy that is unpopular in Parliament & in the country. At a crucial moment he finds a way to evade Parliamentary scrutiny for several weeks.
This is a dangerous precedent.
So it's official: Mohamed bin Salman has got away with it. A Saudi team can stage the gruesome murder of a journalist, allegedly with MbS's foreknowledge, and the world's leading countries will still choose him as their next host.
