How much time does it have to be before it becomes history rather than just the past. When does history start?

He has some limits I guess

Given TV personalities recent convictions that's kind of actually good going.

When she said that the Tory party donor that made those comments about Diane Abbott should be excused.

Since when was she given authorization to make that determination? She wasn't the offended party she wasn't the threatened party and the individual who made the comment isn't even an MP so she's got absolutely no jurisdiction whatsoever to forgive anyone.

Sometimes. Though via a different method. Which always causes utter confusion when anyone comes to the US and has to deal with the tipping culture of it being practically mandatory and done in a weird way, where it's added on to the bill.

I don't want the money going to the company I want it going to the employees, why would I have it added on to the bill, that's so weird.

In the UK if you want to tip someone you pay your bill and then you leave them some physical cash.

They did create the problem. When they close the safe routes inevitably it meant that people started coming over on the dreaded "small boats". Rather than the approved method of asking for asylum, then being granted asylum, and then coming over on the ferry.

The issue isn't that people want to come and live in the UK the issue is that people who want to come and live in the UK are not being given legal methods to do so. It's not like these methods didn't exist, the Tories removed them

That's how she behaves when being interviewed by a friendly interviewer. PMQs is going to be funny as hell.

It's perfectly understandable. Why were you tripping up with it?

She's exceeding expectations. I didn't think she would fail so quickly I thought it would take at least a week.

Human nature is a lot more complicated than you think. Badenoch as a black woman, has managed to be both racist and misogynistic, while not seeing any issue with that.

If a black woman can be racist then I guess the conservative electorate are okay with that. For now anyway, I still have my doubts about her long-term survival.

At least for a while, until they get closer to a general election and actually need someone mentally stable, assuming they can find someone.

Right but they raised the very important point that the article is basically complaining about a bunch of people not being considered working when they are working and are considered working people.

They're literally complaining about nothing

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
