Narrator: But it did not change his mind.

I’m in London this week. Many restaurants and businesses have been taking precautions against the high heat expected. I’m glad to see it.

That didn’t work with Trump when it was largely his conspiracy theory supporters who were dying of covid after the vaccine was rolled out.

Ok, that’s bad.
At this point are there any outcomes left in UK politics that aren’t viscerally disgusting?

There aren’t any that would be able to win a general election.

Sinn Fein, the Scottish Green Party (but not the Green Party of England and Wales) and the SNP (now that most of the TERs have joined the Alba Party) are OK, but that doesn’t help anyone who doesn’t live in Northern Ireland or Scotland.

Priti Patel is the worst home secretary I have ever experienced, yet I know that the Tories would somehow be able to find someone even more authoritarian to replace her.

We need to warn you about the dangers of Priti Patel abuse.

You may think that just a little bit of authoritarianism won’t do any harm, but it doesn’t take long before you are foaming at the mouth ranting about Woke Millennials and want to bring back the Bloody Code.

There is no safe amount of Priti Patel. Just Say No!

Does this mean that the debate drinking game, where you take a drink every time someone claims that something is socialism, will become a little less life threatening?

This new version of The Weakest Link sucks ass, it’s like the worst Comic Relief sketch ever.

That explains a lot. I never liked The Weakest Link.

Give me repeats of Fifteen to One instead.
