Do you have any idea how naive you sound in comparing Badenoch to Thatcher? Are you permitted to leave the house unescorted?
Replying to @LemanWalters
"The idea that there are educated people with high-paying jobs walking among us, and in droves, are willing to go “you know what, I’ll give Margaret Thatcher a chance, despite her serving in Ted Heaths cabinet" is too depressing to even contemplate." This is how silly you sound.

You people are the most gullible den of rubes ever to walk the earth
If you support Reform while Kemi's in charge of the Tories, you are an idiot who wants a Labour/Green/Lib Dem govt

That 2015 Owen Jones/Hitchens interview really is something. They both come across very endearingly. Watching it at the time, lots of lightbulbs flicking on

“One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow” “Seems reasonable enough” “One man and his dog (woof), went to mow a meadow” “I’m following” “Two men went to mow, went to mow a meadow” “Okay” “Two men, one man, and his dog, went to mow a meadow” “Now hang on a moment-”

Try not to contain your inveterate glee too much mate
As I predicted, Reform couldn't professionalise, peaked too soon, and once it's polling 3rd for long enough, a lot of Conservative-Reform switchers are going to want to come back and back the stronger horse, leading to a death spiral for Reform.

Yes time to call last orders on Old Money Mindset Instagram. Long overdue.
the vanilla right wing conservatism trade is too populated now, too mainstream. it is becoming repulsive to the extent that i’m trying to find relatively progressive positions that resonate with me. but i just can’t

.@HeterodoxCentre research fellow Neema Parvini (aka Academic Agent) ragequits his talk at @OxUniRFMSoc to protest my invitation. Fun fact: I was inspired to write "Why We Need to Talk about the Right's Stupidity Problem" by an interaction with Parvini.

“…the broadest, loudest, Scottish accent you'll ever hear”
Replying to @FellaLeeds
There was NO way I was mirroring that shit, so with the broadest, loudest, Scottish accent you'll ever hear I told them I thought it was " fucking great, about time you elected a man of colour " The conversation came to an abrupt halt. I had their number from the get-go

Want to have a conversation about UK police dress/ grooming standards but they invariably descend into kulturkampf shit-shows where you'reaccused of being a dinosaur. Suffice to say our cops increasingly don't look the part. Which, for uniforms, is important.

Henry Hoover. Cleans up the mess with a smile. Always there when you need it. But then left in a corner to gather dust. And then thrown away. Remind you of another sort of 'HENRY'?
