The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.
Hmmmmmm.
Someone asked me with a straight face "but what if it had been a brick?" Then it would've been a brick, one would be violence, the other was street theatre.
proud psychopath here. Stovetop rice is the only pure rice.
Basically prices are like drains: if you start to notice them, something has gone wrong.

Itβs worth mentioning, though itβs been said repeatedly: the Lizzie Line carries 1/6th of UK daily rail passengers (not including the Tube) and has already paid off its entire costs.

Weird volkish nostalgia for the era of Gladiators and the SNES.
It was the only option, all things considered.
Once, in Virgin megastore on Tottenham Court Road with my then girlfriend, I reached behind me to affectionately tickle her midriff. There was a cough and I turned round to find I was stroking the belly of a large ginger man wearing a very similar shade of green.

Graph showing decline since 2005
There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million
In New York - population 8.5 million - there were

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.
And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing
