Thing is, Home Secretary, if you tell people like me to fuck right off, who supported the Labour Party precisely because it has historically been an anti-racist party (amongst other principles you have also jettisoned), we might just do that. And I don't think Labour can afford to lose our votes.

I’m gonna be honest. I really wish people would stop bringing screenshots of dumb Twitter posts over here. The whole reason so many people here left that place is to NOT have to read the stuff. We know it’s dumb. We know it’s rage bait. We don’t need to see it here.

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

The debate raging in the Commons right now suggests to me that we may be better off appointing Larry the Downing Street cat as PM. British humans are apparently unable to govern themselves. It's time to hand the responsibility over to the superior species
