European. Virtue Signaller. History nerd. Trying to save the world: mixed results so far.
Being honest, I think the UK has probably run its course as a union of four nations.
Views are all my own.

- MOU is short for “Meaningless”. Especially when it comes to anything that’s agreed with the senile varnished turd squatting in the White House and his entourage of self-serving crooks and morons.
- Steel-tipped, armour-piercing, high-explosive performative hypocrisy from Farridge regarding Peter Mandelson. But once again the English press doesn't say a word.

- Reposted by Alex SowdenI think the Epstein affair is turning into the defining political scandal of our time. It is bringing into plain sight how informal networks of powerful, entitled, abusive and often sexually violent men operate outside any form of institutional scrutiny or restraint.

- Reposted by Alex SowdenIt's time now for the Government to put forward legislation to strip Peter Mandelson of his peerage. It's the very least they can do for the victims and survivors of his friend Jeffrey Epstein. If Mandelson has any shame left, he'll retire from the House of Lords today.

- Reposted by Alex SowdenThe "coincidence" of Epstein's cash payments to Peter Mandelson's partner/husband in 2009/10 and the then industry secretary's lobbying within cabinet for a softer post-crash policy towards bankers looks on the face of it like outright corruption. Certainly demands police investigation.

- I don’t think any of us has the right to stand between hate-mongering Deform UK wannabe MP Matthew Goodwin and his wish to shoot himself in the head.
- You dont win 'em all! Reform's Matt Goodwin in Sunday Times: 'Most .. people criticising me are nerds.The last thing I want is to be at some dinner party table with Nick Robinson & Mary Beard. I'd rather shoot myself in the head'. Hang on, I'm not THAT bad!Nerds sometimes have a (thoughtful!) point.
- Reposted by Alex SowdenDemocracies are so strong that they allow people to criticize democracy. In fact, the ability to do so is an essential quality of democracy. Authoritarians are so weak they don't allow people to criticize authoritarians. Silencing dissent is an essential quality of authoritarian regimes.

- What's shocking is that this piece of carcinogenic cultural garbage might earn USD$1M at the box office. Perhaps somebody at Amazon MGM Studios watched Mel Brooks' "The Producers" and took it as a challenge to make something worse even than a musical about Nazis in WW2. #Melania
- Amazon’s MGM studios spent tens of millions, but the documentary is projected to make just $1M in its first week. This comes as a new report from Rolling Stone details serious labor issues and two-thirds of the film’s staff requesting not to be credited at the end of the film. trib.al/Clr03cD
- Their loss.
- I'm one of those virtue-signalling bastards who stopped buying from Amazon in the late 2000s because of how it treated its workers and because it refused to pay its fair share of tax in the UK. I didn't need to wait for Lex Luthor wannabe Jeff Bezos to nuzzle up to that senile varnished turd Trump.
