I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
"CROWDS wave flags" according to the Daily Mail caption of this picture
the juxtaposition of 'let's enjoy Paddington bear!' and 'let's deport human migrants to the Taliban!' is too perfect

The total lack of basic journalistic professionalism of this BBC story - summarising Farage proposals with (at time of writing) no attempt to include the views of other parties, refugee advocates etc www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
This is the No True Scotsman fallacy.

Often acknowledged by MES as an influence. 'I laughed at The Great God Pan' is a direct nod. I may be inagining it but I think there's a definite touch of his style here.
There's a strong Arthur Machen influence in that lyric, I think.

Yes, it's a great 40 minute album trapped inside a flabby 60 minute one.

I've watched a significant amount (nowhere near all) of HGL's output. It can be.... a bit of a chore. So, congratulations, I suppose!

Those 'problems' were all evidence of the deep-state plot to smear and discredit him, though. Trump supporters are smart enough to see through that sort of chicanery.
He is, or was, popular with a lot of people. No, I don't get it at all, either, but it was the case. The fact that the people who opposed him actively detest him couldn't affect this. It may even have helped him.

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.
Yes. We got there eventually!
No, couldn't make the Sheffield Uni thing but am going to Chris and Mal. Which one did you say might be coming to Manchester?
Is that the Chris and Mal gig? I got into the Sheffield one. Wasn't going to miss that.
I'll look out for that. Thanks for the info.
Wish I could have made this. Hula are the band I probably most regret never having seen.

OK, I’ve had time to process Starmer’s “island of strangers” rhetoric from this morning, and reflect on why I found it so upsetting. Why was that? Well, to start with, the easy bit: it’s accepting the Reform framing of immigration as intrinsically a Bad Thing, to be tolerated at best. 1/6
No one who had ever seen Donald Trump in his infancy would have supposed him born to be a president. His situation in life, the character of his father and mother, his own person and disposition, were all equally against him.
