Why is she so fucking stupid, may I ask?

Thinking that noone should be wholly kicked out of public life is such a weird response that just makes me think "oh Christ he's involved in a bigger scam than the Bigger Tits thing isn't he"

he feels a sense of solidarity with a fellow leader who’s way too online and doesn’t do her homework before wading in

Why are you commenting if you don’t know the specifics of the case!!!!!

The obvious follow up question to this is what he thinks of Huw Edwards, who despite his conviction for making indecent images of children, is trying to re-enter public life

Crude Marxists brainstorming in the 1930s/40s: welfare is promoted by the capitalist order as means of sapping the proletariat of revolutionary energy, yes. Crude Marxists brainstorming in 2026: idk.. Israeli EDM is stopping the revolution?? Come on guys give me something!

Batteries should be changed every 3 years even in a working watch. This is an extreme example of battery leakage that has led to damage throughout the watch

Some more photos. This is the second custom watch I've assembled as a wedding gift. Much like the case itself (bought in 2024 a lost in the post until last year), it's a belated one

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

I genuinely can't stop thinking about this piece of his someone shared earlier, in part because I sincerely can't work out which parts of it I am supposed to treat as "real" and which are "provocations" because surely, surely, the conclusion can't be real. www.theguardian.com/society/2003...

Rod Liddle: Should it really be a crime to look at child pornography?

Rod Liddle: The one laudable and necessary aim - to protect children from abuse - has become warped by our consuming, obsessive hatred for those who find children sexually attractive.

Swift is a much weirder writer than is assumed by people who haven't read him, Liddle a much duller one than his eulogies suggest. The idea he was a satirist doesn't really work as he didn't write those things to shock or mock he wrote them because he believed them.

I just... I feel like I'm going a bit mad? The British government very visibly opposed locking down, we spent all of November 2020 ignoring every sign in order to "save Christmas." The BBC's weakness was not deference to science, but to the government! Laura K was reposting videos of buckets!

No need for anyone to agree with me - but some of the responses to this on here reminds me just how stifling and absolutist a period in our national discourse Covid was.

I would pay an embarrassingly large amount of money for a genuinely small phone

On "legitimate questions that are hard to ask", I think The News Agents should perhaps ask themselves some before trying to figure out others'

The 2026 Greater Manchester election was a political science experiment to explore the conditions required for an entirely discourse-free election. The study has now concluded, and the University of Manchester thanks you all for your participation

I'm sorry to differ with you sir, but you are the Manchester Mayor, you've always been the Manchester Mayor. And I should know, I've always been here

it is so funny how personally devastating this must be for starmer and his supporters and their entire theory of politics
