And Robert Jenrick has still not denied declaring himself a "great admirer" of the far-right racist account 'Inevitable West'

Sounds like foreign interference in a democracy to me.

You're forgetting it's ok when interfering in the UK. It's not ok if you think people are interfering from the UK - even when they are not!

It is certainly NOT OK when interfering in UK politics. The entire Brexit campaign was run to ensure UK people for UK politics. Remember ? "Sovereignty"

Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson some useful context in the FT

Who needs context when you just have to read a tweet, see how it makes you feel and then retweet it with your own views?

What is the ocean if not a wall of water ?

We have had politicians murdered by people - I think Elon Musk is creating an environment that will lead to someone being murdered.

Actually not engaging with Musk may be the wisest course. He's not very bright, has an ego the size of a planet, and has chosen to piss all over a lot of people whose calibre exceeds their IQ. Nature may very well sort the problem out herself.

Here she is, Suella Braverman, talking about:

The wall "on the land border between Italy and Turkey."

She's "seen it," apparently... meanwhile, absolute scenes on LBC

Did anyone correct her on air?

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 02/01/2025 12:47

Is that actually real or could it be a deep fake?
Surely nobody can be that thick?

Thinking about this I should have added - 'with the possible exception of Liz Truss'

Who was it who didn't realise Dover was a port ?

Dominic Raab. Thickest MP ever.

cakeorwine · 02/01/2025 12:52

If it is real, then how would a wall work here?

Unless....it's a wall in France. All along the coast?

Actually, come to think about it, that was Raab holidaying in Greece. Maybe Braverman got her Romans and Greeks mixed up 🤔

No, because she is the host...

I am sure someone will mention it to her then.
At some point

Not only is ignorance no shame these days. Pointing it out is incredibly elitist.

That's true. I guess I just can't get my head around coming on a board just to sneer. It really isn't in the spirit of these threads. Season of good will and all that.

Never mind, onward and upward, go and see Nosferatu, it's brilliant.

Every time I saw a trailer for Nosferatu I expected someone to turn round and say "Domino-oo-ooh".

itsgettingweird · 02/01/2025 15:43

Serendipity - my response about forgetting it's ok was meant to be sarcastic! We know it's not ok. But that doesn't stop the double standards being paraded as ok in the media 🤷‍♀️
