I take that as a compliment, Horace. So from one aggressive bastard to another…. Tally ho! Attack!

@George-K said in On the Paki rape gangs in the UK.: @Doctor-Phibes said in On the Paki rape gangs in the UK.: the Labour MP for Rotherham has now backed a full enquiry This? No, that’s somebody else entirely. He’s also not the most reliable witness as he was kicked out of the Labour Party for exchanging sexual texts with a 17 year old girl, and then ran as a Reform candidate under Nigel Farage.

Indeed, looting, vandalism and mischief are all far more civilized ways of flipping the bird than simply turning your back on the pompous protocol and decorum that acknowledges and celebrates an undeserving and narcissistic putz.

I might have done it myself 20 years ago. Not now.

@jon-nyc said in Paul Graham on the origin of wokeness: One thing I liked is the way he said that a proper explanation of its origins would account for why it happened when it did and not a decade sooner or later. Agreed. The timeline aspect is probably the most interesting part, as well as pointing out that it's really not a new phenomenon. The tolerant 60's were a reaction to the prigs of the day.

Very nice pictures!!!

With all due respect to Prof Ferguson, experiencing the peak Trump phenomenon is wholly dependent upon where you happen to reside. I fully anticipate the very unpleasant stench of peak Trump to waft across the border in the coming week. It will take months of resolute and patriotic determination to refreshen the air here as a result.
