Re: Israel

Big twist in the Iranian president crash. Looking more and more like it was the result of sabotage by a rogue Mossad agent called Eli Kopter Iran has released a transcript of the cockpit recordings: Pilot: We might have to try an emergency landing on that mountain.

Re: The trans debate

You’ll never guess what the throwaway sentence about “spouse objections” means in practice, by the way Go on….. Currently a person who is in a marriage with a person who comes out as trans can exit the marriage before the person is legally recognised as having “changed sex”, on the grounds that a s...

Re: Labour Watch

Isn’t that a little bit of a wordier way of saying “the poors have got HD ready tellies, and they’re still complaining”? Not in this context. And, just to remind the viewers, the context is this comment: " Any countries making a success of this way? " You see, what this comment insinuates...
