one thing about getting past 60 is that you have a simultaneously increasing and decreasing amount of time on your hands.

Great thread. I knew the Mail was, to all intents and purposes, lying. And so it has proved. They’re doing Putin’s work for him. Traitors.

German exit polls are in. -As expected, a comprehensive rejection of SPD, though could have been even worse. Nonetheless worst result since 1887. -Disappointment for CDU to be sub 30, even though they'll definitely govern.

The Daily Star is knocking it out of the park lately.

This is the UK I grew up in and love.

I've just seen Steve Bannon's little seig heil. It's like a first time flasher nervously pulling a corner of his stained coat aside and pulling it back again before anyone can really see it. Peek a boo, but without Elton's conviction (a phrase i hope to hear in the papers very soon).
