He credited the human trafficking cult known as $cientology with curing his dyslexia.
Mad as a hatter. 😳

I suspect not Trump, but he is too amoral to care what they write in his name as long as it is malicious and spiteful enough.
I'm not sure anyone could plumb the depths of his hatred and malice anyway.

Even Nadhim Zahawi's origin story was more convincing!
They really do love the 'hard working' poor made good myth to convince the gullible to vote for them!

I suspect YouTube has a lot to do with it, with the explosion of bro "debates" which are not really debates, but a circle jerk of Podbros mutually congratulating each other on their contrary and edgy takes on the meaning of life.
YouTube has set its algorithms to encourage and promote grifters.

I believe we are days away, a few weeks at most, from a public display of his madness.
A public meltdown that even MAGAs will no longer be able to convince themselves that he is compos mentis.
GOP & FOX News have managed to keep it under wraps with sophistry and/or intimidation so far... for now.

Good job you decided on that, 'cos calling yourself a 'Pedrophile' might have been a bit awkward!

Misery, poverty, damage to all our public services and ruined the life chances of our sons and daughters. Unforgivable.

When you've been given a job to do by the majority of the electorate and you appear to be more frightened of those who didn't trust you to those who believed in you, the former will be proven right and the latter will no longer believe in you.

Just so on brand that the Tories would balls up being in opposition too.
Any muscle memory they had for sanity, responsibility and competence withered away while they did their frenzied EU-phobic, anti-immigration workouts.

🤷♀️ the pitiful anti-refugee tribute act to Farage is still useless:
Small boats crossings continue - 800 people arrived yesterday.
Govt will panic again.
Until people have safe alternative ways to travel, or real safe other solutions, this doom-loop will go on. #r4today

I expect it made a few more Tory millionaires at the taxpayers' expense. And of course more profits in the demolishing.
Nasty Party capitalism at its finest.

I'm sure you're right. I hope you're wrong!
I have a vain hope that Trump will force our hand and help move things along faster and closer (SM/CU)

The economic case for being outside the customs union and single market hasn’t got much better, but the politics is hardening in its favour. Like shoes bought on a whim, the more an independent trade policy is used, the harder it becomes to return.

I agree and I think the pro-EU movement should/can push for closer integration (CU/SM) much harder and faster now.
I think businesses will push back much more vociferously against gutter press/Brexiters second time around.
Their silence seen as acquiescence before was detrimental to Remain I think

For a profession/livelihood that is essentially grounded in science, it's strange that so many farmers seem to favour anti-science ideals and movements.
Science is progressive, not conservative.

Fear maybe?
Using ignorance as a defence in the knowledge that she may one day face a tribunal and go to jail.
I'm sure she and others have been warned of the possibility.
Maybe also trying the Trump gambit of saying "l don't know"?
