He's fundamentally a buffoon.

Also, as an editor Michael Gove is a bigger crank than Fraser Nelson.

Wonder how much the average American understands they have no friends abroad any more. Just people who regard them with varying levels of contempt or hate?

What the actual fuck is this deranged shit?

Yeah this was where the river flows through Murrayfield.

Life sciences have nothing to do with social sciences though! Other than maybe at the philosophical margins of a subset of behavioural studies in humans.

You can allow people to use chargers in your driveway for your electricity rate plus a set amount on top. Does this have to be declared in a self assessment and is the energy at 5%?

Since WWII there have been exactly two cases of unconditional surrender, and one of those was the surrender to the Taleban by America's allies in Afghanistan.

This is the ranting in the bunker phase of somebody who knows they have absolutely fucked it beyond all recognition and there is no way out.

They hold different and mostly lesser bigotries but Polanski is a grifter who explicitly campaigned on the basis of being populist and their policies are unworkable at best. Let's not pretend they are anything other than a symptom of collapse in public trust. They arent offering solutions.

Is 'life and social sciences' refer to life sciences as in applied biology or a different kind of life sciences?

Well I grew up a literal stones throw from it and never dipped so much as a toe in.

Bollocks it's about helping the bright but poor. Absolute bollocks. If they wanted that they'd be arguing to link school funding to deprivation.

The key thing is it's never their children they think won't get in. It's really about extending the snobbery and privilege of private schools down to the upper middle class who can no longer afford them.

Crank parties don't police this stuff with any particular enthusiasm though.

They're all awful cunts, basically.

This potentially ends with the Americans having far fewer bases in the middle east, doesn't it? And in Europe.

I think they are well aware they are the bad guys. And they love it.

A war crime, but because it was committed by Americans nobody will be charged.

Somehow that's worse.

Factually false. NATO liberated the women and girls of Afghanistan from the Taleban and then the US handed them back and restored the Taleban to power when they stopped caring about other people.

It's a terrible shame it's not just the Americans suffering the consequences of their choices. But if we're going to suffer to, then it's important to make them miserable and poor for what they have done. There are no innocent Americans, just degrees of guilty.

Yeah, he does monstrous things for the greater good, but fails in that greater good. Loses everything. Then he gets shivved.

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

How do Meta think consent works? They have no way of knowing if the people being filmed by these have given it.

Surprisingly little examination of the performance of the Scottish Greens by pundits opining on Polanskis mob and what they'd do with power. Above all else, and this is entirely independent of opinions about their policies, they were astonishingly inept in government, and nasty with it.
