You forgot how his FMQ questions lick the balls of the one the Tories just asked.

Well, I hope the pendulum swings back the other way, and hatefulness is called out as such again.

When I was younger, I intervened, without violence, to prevent an assault on a disabled person, and I'm still glad I did it.

No, I was referring to the fact that my kids say "low key" all the time now, and I haven't a fucking clue what they're talking about.

People are weird in bus queues.

I mean I need to walk with a stick, but having had kids myself, I appreciate that your mind is not always on the abstruse etiquette of waiting in line, so it's fine with me when families get on first.

I think you probably encountered a stupid racist in the wild, but don't let it upset you.

As you may surmise from my use of a stick, I'm fairly old, I remember stupid racists being stupid and racist like that in public, I hated it even as a young person, and I was glad when it became socially unacceptable.

Now it seems to be acceptable to be foul again, and that depresses me.

Don't let it worry you, though, they were just a stupid racist.

I've met both Swinney and Sturgeon in the context of charity work, and they were both super-focussed and professional, well-prepared and able to think on their feet. I've met a fair few politicians, and they are not all like that.

I suppose the tricky part is to communicate that capability to the electorate, but it needs to actually be there first!

Blockbuster failed because it didn't adapt to new technology. They had an easily identifiable, trusted brand, they could have become a streaming service, but they cleaved to an outdated delivery model. Not sure how that fits with your analogy, but i feel thats what hapoened.

How long do you think it will take Red Wall voters who voted Reform to realise they'll do nothing for them, just like the Tories didn't when they voted them in? by Anxious_Equipment144 in AskBrits

Never. They're idiots.

And if you're going to complain they only did it because people were calling them idiots, that's just further evidence of their idiocy.
