"Stories are what make us human. We tell stories, we listen to stories, we live inside stories. Perhaps our souls are nothing but tiny, decorative, multi-dimensional blankets we pull over our shivering brains, woven from delicate threads of narrative."
God love Tom Lewis.

I may have accidentally met Russell Brand once or seventeen times where I inadvertently referred to Brand as a political colossus & mankind's preeminent thinker as he guest edited my magazine, but this sycophantic praise was my way of expressing how much I utterly detested him .
Imagine getting a payment so dodgy a group of bankers thought this may be laundered money:

This site needs to stop normalising Tommy Robinson like he's for liberal thought. He's really not. He's for pro-white thought. There's a very very big difference.
Oh 100%. I think it was careless rather than cynical though, because if he had jumped earlier I think he'd have a chance? Also, glad that it's a 20 mins red and not "GG". That new rule is good.
Also, I think he did have a realistic chance based on his perception? He was looking at the ball. I don't think it was a cynical take out at all and I don't think the English player knew the Scot was there. Thought it was just... Rugby play. An ouch, penalty and move on
Controversial opinion:
I love Fallout, but Fallout Season 2 was pointless. Could have made the whole thing 2 episodes.
Beautiful, but meandering, too many characters and deeply unsatisfying.

Meh, I disagree. I think that Nick Robinson fundamentally allowed his politics to cloud his judgment; my general discontent and malaise dates back to 2008 and if not this hill, then which one?
Exactly. So why should we start by conceding an argument that supports a more healthy society (economically and literally in this case). Accepting conservative points without a fight from the off leads to the situation we've got ourselves into: so lets win the argument.
There is plenty of money to go around if there is a willingness to do so. We live in an unequal society and getting worse, but that doesn't mean that we should just give up. Tax high income earners properly and create a system that works for people. It works in Europe. Cx
Setting precedence of frozen wages for everyone else for 15 years is not a zinger of an argument. It displays a fault in our society that is only getting worse. People's wages should be raised.
Or, campaign for a more reasonable transport system whereby trains were more affordable than flights. Just a thought.
God I’m bored of the performative environmental bollocks we adhere to in the TV industry. Poorly paid staff having 10 hour train journeys which cost twice what a plane would, because @WeAreALBERT says that’s what must happen, it’s just absurd.
The @BBCr4today team interviewing vulnerable people in camps in Northern France is just whipping up racism and not pointing out the insanity of people running from conflicts having to apply for asylum with IDs and passports. This is sick. Sick. #r4today

The last speaker complaining of the president being a victim of an assassination attempt conveniently ignores that it was a registered republican then blames the "left" for lecturing republicans. It's the Milosevic playbook: play victim and stoke division #r4today
