The government seems to be imploding. They need a general election but the Tories aren’t going to let go. The hubris! 😑

The word omnishambles springs to mind.

This, to quote yet again my favourite line from “Succession”, is the full Baskin Robins 31 flavours of fuck. 🤦♀️

Overheard on the bus today: a man in his 30s, proudly declaring that we need to return to the former glory of the British Empire. Showing the world our might will put a stop to the political merry-go-round. Sir. I'm still reeling. Ah, yes, the racist codewords! Whenever people say this crap (it happens here, too, in the US), I always think: "Ah, yes, I, too, would love (sarcasm) to go back to the times with raw sewage in the streets, no antibiotics, and where the richest live in luxury while the rest of us toil away in various ways." Oh, wait, that last bit is still happening. I also want to say: "you know, dude, that you would be looked down upon just as much as the people you seem to hate, right? Things were not better for any workers back then." But, this is 'Merica and I am afraid of being shot, so I keep my mouth shut. |

It seems the Tories (like the republicans here in the US), are just in it for the short grift. Grabbing as much as they can with both hands while the opportunities last. They’ve given up any pretense at governing or helping the people. Christopher Tietjens would be appalled.

This is hysterical!
Apparently there is a new series with Matthew Macfadyen that sound very interesting about this person who wasn’t a Tory but a Labour MP! Lol I checked and instead of deleted the piece or writing “Labour” instead of “Tory”, they edited it to generalize to all the MPs! IMHO they should had deleted it because their whole premise was wrong! With a big note saying what they did! You know, fighting misinformation!
Press is so divided and I think it’s a huge issue. If someone did something awful, of course, it’s because he doesn’t share your ideology and decent people could never think different than you! Also, most opinion writers in The Guardian and The Observer are kinda bonkers! The big exception is the great Kenan Malik. I’m actually reading his new book about the history of Race and racism. It’s called Not So Black and White, I recommend it!
