Let's face it, the hive mind is in the control of an average of public opinion, and there are always going to be knowledgeable people who know more than the hive mind, and therefore can make more informed choices. That's why politics sucks. It's about elevating the hive mind.

On the one hand, I admire Montgomery's work ethic and long leadership (retiring at age 71), and the fact he remained a vegetarian.

On the other, he came from an abusive family of great privilege, and as a result carried racist and homophobic opinions until his death in 1976.

Genuinely bizarre interview this morning on BBC 5Live ๐Ÿคจ
I was told the polls are ambiguousโ€ฆ??
And when I explained how detention & deportations impact vulnerable people the presenter insisted we have โ€œno ideaโ€ if that will happen as part of the Rwanda plan? Iโ€™m confused.

Untrue. This does touch on something related that actually happened, which people have apparently distorted and used to prop up the dumb conspiracy theory. I will explainโ€ฆ 1/N

X keeps serving me this video so I succumbed

The premise is that Mr Beast and crew are helicoptered into an abandoned city and have to survive for 7 days, seems like a fun conceptโ€ฆ

but I recognized the โ€œabandoned cityโ€ as Kupari Croatia, which is neither abandoned nor a city,โ€ฆ

He's showing up how nasty & out-of-touch the Reform Party are-

But he's also deliberately pushing the parametres of debate. He's putting a pro-drowning policy position on the table, albeit on the far-right edge of it.

This is how the overton window shifts to allow for horrors.

WELL NOW!

Something very exciting happened this week- I got a package in the post, and it had a stamp on it from the House of Commons!!โ€ผ๏ธโ€ผ๏ธ

What could it be?!!

โ€œWas it an offer for me to be Prime Minister?โ€ I wondered. Iโ€™d do better than quite a few of the ones of โ€ฆ 1/7

Basically, there is a box

For a long time, that box was stored on a dark dusty shelf in some obscure room

Recently, that box was discovered, the dust blown off and placed in the centre of every part of our lives

The box is defined by the fact everything outside the box is woke

Right - the Sikorski Museum in London. You need to go.

Why?

1/

Oh, just the Polish flag which flew on the ruins of the monastery after the capture of Monte Cassino

Speeding through lush Polish farmland on a train back from Hannover gives me some insight as to why EU food security is something the UK is missing.
