I imagine they would do what Labour have had to do with Andy Burnham, and get some no-name MP in a safe seat to resign in exchange for a promise to get in the House of Lords later or some other reward.

I think Farage and Reform/Restore have a solution to this: From The Atlantic: "The [UK's] output per person is now only just above that of Mississippi, America’s poorest state - and that slight lead is only achieved thanks to

The OP seems to think that putting your arm at that angle turns you into a nazi. I think he's been watching Father Ted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLNMSTQnSyk

I think it was conservatism of its time. You can ret-con it with 2026 morality and say it was wrong, but then it was the Conservative austerity government that legalised gay marriage.

So even if you don't support nazis, just putting your arm at that angle magically turns you in to one? Is this like a spell from Harry Potter or something? Can anyone accidentally do a nazi salute?

Good point. We need to genetically modify horses that can pollinate plants and create honey.

No, I'm saying they're not far right. It's a pejorative term made up by the left to try and shift the overton window away from conservatism. They're about as "far right" as the 80's Thatcher government.

"Far Right" in the sense of "The Guardian says so". And one bloke getting arrested doesn't prove the whole party is Russia-funded, despite that being the catch-all left wing excuse every time they lose an election.

The comparison between the gestures is that neither are intended to be a literal Nazi salute and anyone who genuinely thinks either of them was has an IQ issue. And obviously he's supporting right wing causes, because they are the ones

Dude, no they're not. Tommy Robinson is a grifter, but Reform has a pretty good chance of winning the next UK general election People are realising the current omni-party centrist/centre-left politics and economics have failed utt

They must be incredibly proud of you for inventing nazis in your imagination and then fighting them. Stunning and brave.

I'd imagine eating it has a different effect than having it directly enter the bloodstream as well.

>>Honeybees are not native to North America. Neither are horses. I guess the issue is you don't get honey with the native bees.

Journalist argues journalists are important. But honestly, the answer is no. Traditional Media is biassed opinion wrapped up as fact.

Not sure how well swatting works in the UK, and pizza deliveries are all pre-paid. But yeah, you could have a loony turn up.

You need to put a literal physical address and not even a PO Box is allowed.

I just launched an app in the Google Play Store. I did find it a bit weird that I had to provide my physical home address to get my app listed. Not sure what I would do if someone turned up to complain. Make them a cup of tea?

The science to get the text is cool, but where is the best place to read discussion of the text in the scroll, it's context, meaning etc?

Love the word "boffin". I think we should use "pundit" more often as well.

There is also a political aspect to this. Reid Hoffman is a big democrat donor and hater of Trump, going so far as to funding a law change so Trump could be privately prosecuted for sex offences in New York. Which is ironic, because Reid wa

I always think of the example of my step-grandad (amongst others) who left the UK to join the International Brigade during the Spanish Civil War.

Honestly, go back to the Liz Truss plan. She tried to speed run implementation, but policy-wise it was all there.
