You mean like nothing you couldn't leave in 30 seconds when you feel the Heat around the corner?

I wonder what Thatcher would have made of Sunak's largesse with other people's money during Covid. 17 billion lost to fraudulent 'bounceback loans', countless billions wasted in unused PPE, 37 billion (!) on a track and trace system that didn't work and was quickly abandoned. I suspect she would be turning in her grave.

Truss is certainly further to the right and put forward some interesting policies as PM, but her ill-timed and poorly presented budget got her kicked into the long grass. She was of course chosen by party members, not MPs, so your assertion that the current crop is right wing doesn't get past first base. Sunak is a cardboard cut-out politician, swaying with the winds and the opinion polls towards whatever policies he thinks will win votes. I honestly don't know what his political philosophy is (if he has one).

Poorly written, repetitive article trying and failing miserably to defend the indefensible. The Tory party has abandoned conservative values and represents an amorphous uniparty blob with Starmer's equally unappealing Labour party. Farage is playing the long game. After the Tories are wiped out at this election they will clamour for a saviour. That's his real objective.

Gary Lineker's Attire Sparks Controversy Over BBC Advertising Rules

Gary Lineker's Attire Sparks Controversy Over BBC Advertising Rules
roquefort replied to Social Media's topic in World News
On the contrary, the term ‘Champagne Socialist’ implies someone who proclaims left-wing ideals - support of the 'working class', higher taxes, net zero etc - and rails against 'the rich', while hypocritically indulging in all of life's luxuries themselves. Rather like Gary Lineker. The French equivalent is 'la gauche caviar'. -
Four American Educators Stabbed in Northeast China Park

Fair enough. If you're scraping the barrel I suppose you can't expect much in the way of professional journalism. Not that the Western media is much better. Most of it is written by robots now anyway. -

It's definitely AI. And since AI is mostly trained on BS, that's what you get. GIGO. -

'This incident highlights the unpredictable risks faced by foreign nationals in China.' B*l***ks. You're more likely to be attacked in most cities in the US and Europe than in China. And do we really need a photo of a huge knife to know what a stabbing looks like? -

Honoring Dr. Fauci's Legacy in Advancing Public Health

You have of course seen the infamous emails between Fauci, Collins, Daszak, Farrar et al trying desperately to find a way to suppress any opinion but theirs on the origin of the virus. But you choose to ignore them. -
Honoring Dr. Fauci's Legacy in Advancing Public Health

So by your logic only members of congress who are vaccine 'experts' are entitled to an opinion on whether Fauci lied to congress. That would surely rule out 99.9% of members, so the enquiry should be held by one person (assuming there is one). Bizarre. -

If you read my post I said up to 50% was fake or non-replicable. I didn't mention the vaccine data, I was referring to scientific research generally.

Rand Paul is an eye doctor so his opinion on whether Fauci lied to congress doesn't count? That's a strange kind of logic. What about other congressmen who aren't doctors at all?
