Me too.

it’s beyond the pale!

Private Eye

Not everyone’s cup of tea. Actually becoming aware of the amount of corruption and injustice in the UK can be accutely depressing.

Their online offering is a tiny fraction of what is covered in the hardcopy.

Yhe lack of traffic in London was amazing

Thank Christ we finally get away from the endless skinny jeans -> baggy jeans cycle.

Any chemical that can exist as a solid, a liquid and a gas at the same time isn’t safe to put into our bodies!

Yeah. It’s not an entirely salient point. It does, however, underline the ubiquitous nature of fluorine.

The biggest source of Flourine in the environment is just the normal weathering of rocks that contain it. The biggest of the anthropogenic sources include brick production, phosphate fertiliser application and coal burning.

The minor amount added to drinking water really wouldn’t be the biggest issue if it was as toxic as it’s made out to be.

Mulleted stinkbird thank you.

I’m with you on this Lukacs is a something of a mirror image of the partisan twits he’s railing against.

FS needs to calm down and have their abusive and manipulative actions there underlined so that they can learn from them and move on.

Looks like a yummy flourentine

Extra points for not lifting the spagetti pile when you’re hovering.

Pigs-in-a-blanket is what you want. In this case the sausage (pig) is the rich and the blanket (bacon) is the poh-poh.

The deeper reason is that they believe in a highly hierarachical society in which they have earned the right to be in the top strata. That’s why they chase the big donors. That’s why their calculations will always put themselves and their grip on power above: the basic needs of impoverished Americans; or the lives of innocent civilians getting bombed out of existance; or future generations that will inherit our strung out eco system; and about countless other maladies and evils that beset our tettering civilisation.

They are not leftwing, they are the corporate bulwark against leftwing ideas. They are not big tent, they promulgate a very narrow reading of reality to the benefit of their paymasters.

I think this is a bit naive. Both partys will have done their homework and have a fairly good idea what it is those disenfranchised voters want. The problem is is what they want is at odds with what the party’s big donors want.

100%

At the time maybe, but a lot of smaller details such as this will become much more important later on when the dust settles. So, why not write it up now so that ot can be revisited later on. It’s not as if there’s a limit to the number of acticles they can publish.

Well if all you are used to is your establishment talking heads in narrow lockstep then it might be off putting. It isn’t at all damning for a single outlet to report on something. Especially when working somewhere so dangerous to be.

In reality this is, as others seem to be at pains to point out, a minor addition to the mountian of nightsoil. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to fabricate such a lightweight appendix if it is likely to undermine reporting on more serious events.

Calling it branding isn’t entirely out of scope with the normal usage of the word either. It just is slightly problematic in that we are now conditioned to expect the very worst of humanity from some of the IDF soldiers so our minds expect hot irons.

Writing the number on their foreheads is flat out dehumanising. How is that in any way contentious?

If your local police force rounded up all the males in a minority group and wrote the processing numbers on their foreheads do you think it might make the news?

Ah this is the London Hackney Cab flourish. It’s kind of like yelling ‘Yeehaw’ as the bull leaps into the air and somehow you are still attached.
