I was thinking about Trump’s conviction this morning and it occured to me that, if he had repaid Michael Cohen the hush money from the campaign fund AND written “Hush money for porn star” in the accounts – neither he nor Cohen would have done anything illegal

I think “winning” the second World War was the worst thing that ever happened to Britain psychologically. We continue to celebrate the losses and hardships more than the victory. Dunkirk, the Blitz, rationing. Ask five people on any high street, on which day of the year we remember the fallen and I reckon 4 out of 5 will tell you. Ask anyone over 50 and it’ll be 100%. Then ask them when VE Day is. I reckon anyone under-25 won’t even know what VE day is…

When your party has a majority it’s a “clear mandate from the people”. When the OTHER party has the majority it’s “unchecked power”.

Oh, dear. I think Ben is a bit confused.

“With what audacity do you compare Hamas that murdered, burned, butchered, decapitated, raped and kidnapped our brothers and sisters and the IDF soldiers fighting a just war.”

Well, I’m not sure we have any ironclad evidence of rape and kidnap against civilians by the IDF but we can definitely check-off “murdered, burned, butchered and decapitated” – it’s on the news every day. That’s how I’d compare them.

Whether you regard this as “just” or not is a matter of perspective but the actions of Hamas and the IDF are entirely comparable.

I’m loving this whole anti-Iranian narrative. Israel attacks the Iranian consulate in Syria, kills Iranians. The attack is widely condemed (except by most of the UN Security Council – funny that). Iran retaliates and they’re the baddies.
