I don’t think is that simple. He’s seeking relevance …

Never mind the suit colour. He was wearing a baseball cap ffs.

Yes

Yes we do. And with good reason,
Next?

And probably well to the back of the queue. Triage is pretty efficient these days. Malingerers can come, and wait.

That’s the ticket!

It would have been considered weird, as a teenager, even to have totally platonic same sex friends 3-5 years younger than yourself. Likely still is.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people?

Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. 

Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth?
Hegseth: We’re investigating. 

Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.

My partner is 5 years younger than me. This would have been *unthinkable* at, say 23 and 18.
Now, at 73 and 68, who cares?

True, but what I meant was that age barriers are much less permeable when you’re young.

It wasn’t a competition. For most of the time on government, they got on well, and there was little between them on policy.

He was a young PM, and faced a long life beyond early success. He seems to be struggling with that.

I remember that’s totally how it went at school. Age was granular.
A year 11 girl would never for a minute consider going out with a boy in year 10, for eg.

And the rest is “l miss being a randy teenager”

Who better to accuse others of being a laughing stock than the sexually incontinent compulsive liar who can't dress himself and combs his hair with a balloon?

The criminal waste of talent was what struck me most.

I researched my family tree a while ago. Turns out I am the child of generations of jobbing labourers.
As soon as free schooling arrived, that changed. Suddenly we were teachers, doctors, civil servants, engineers …

A cunning plan?

They have no sympathy for anyone but themselves.

We have plenty of spare royals I suppose.

If someone photoshopped me holding Nigel’s hand and put it on the news I would hire every lawyer in the country

It was a joke.
I’ve been told this quite often.

This sounds like state sponsored private school.

In a proper grammar school system you don’t choose to take the test; everyone has to, whether they like it or not. Sheep and goats. The Sorting Hat.
