- Robert Jenrick, Liz Truss and Maurice Glasman all supported Trump #guiltymen
- Just got a call from the ‘tenancy association’ and ‘housing disrepairs’. As soon as I ask which council the line goes dead. Obviously it’s a scam but curious as to what exactly.
- Part of me thinks don’t share that Trump post about the Obamas. Treat it with the contempt it deserves. But then again the *President of the United States* doing such a thing shouldn’t just be shrugged off.
- Think you can drop the quotation marks
- Always amusing when a PR firm has tk deal with bad PR
- In many ways he’s just such a tiny man. Like, who cares? Why’s it so important?
- Trump reportedly told Sen Schumer he’d release federal funds if Penn Station and Dulles airport were named after him. This is a crime. NY, VA? www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
- Without giving away my age, going online and seeing my NI contributions from when I had a Saturday job at at Sainsbury’s feels weird. Still, it seems to count as a ‘full year’ towards my state pension contribution even though it really was the square root of sod all.
- Is that really necessary?
- Just seen an episode an old episode of One Foot in the Grave on TV with Richard Wilson looking scarily young.
- There are good reasons for this but like when the same thing happened with Partygate, people are, rightly or wrongly, going to say “how convenient”
- I’m not a religious person but what is the Christian justification for immigration controls? They’re clearly necessary whether or not you’re religious but does seem very difficult to come up with a moral justification for fundamental rights being determined by genetic inheritance or place of birth.
- I suppose the answer that Johnson gives is the argument (not necessarily a religious one); that in order to protect a quality of life within a country in such an unequal world that can be easily crossed you have to strictly limit who you let in.
- But I wonder if future generations long after we’re gone will think how weird it was that such fundamental rights were so arbitrarily determined.
- Being foreign born to parent each of different nationalities and growing up in a third country probably means I think about these things more than most
