Sure. I didn’t think I needed to include that I, like any decent person, don’t think you should insult other people via twitter but if that was unclear I’m on that page 100%.

Of course not, she basically gave New Labour that money so that they can increase her (already considerable) tax payments.
JK Rowling has given 1 million Pounds to New Labour.
I’m not sure too many people—Ed Miliband included—actually believed Scottish voters would flock to Labour, no matter what they may have claimed during the campaign. I wouldn’t mistake standard political posturing for genuinely credulous belief. Labour’s fate was sealed in Scotland a long time ago.
The “Better Together” campaign in Scotland was a political campaign looking to specifically affect the outcome of a democratic vote as important as any election. Saying it’s not political by virtue of not being specifically tied to a political party would be as disingenuous as saying donating to a SuperPAC isn’t…
They took the Labour votes for granted. The Scottish Labour party has been eroded on a grass roots level over the last decades even though it is one of the oldest and strongest Socialist parties in the UK. The party become a very London focused middle-class party and many people feel betrayed by that. But this is all…
Lots of SNP voters and pro-Independence people are shocked and appalled as well. it isn’t just the Union supporters. This tiny minority of stupid trolls do not represent anyone but themselves. Many in Scotland and beyond respect her views as her own to have (even if they disagree). She has said some blunt things in…
Wasn’t the general consensus among most liberal folk that donating huge amounts of money to affect the political process probably shouldn’t be counted simply as “an opinion”?
I may not agree with her on Scotland’s independence, but that’s just a disagreement and no excuse to become abusive.
You know, here’s something I don’t get about UK politics and maybe someone can explain to me; why did Labour and Ed Miliband think that Scottish voters, in general, were going to go for them after Labour campaigned against independence?
Yes, I’ve read the bible. As much as you want it to be it’s not going to be dismantled. Ever. And people HAVE been confronting it head on for a loOong time. Things simply will not change over night, as much as we may want it to. Progress is unfortunately slow & bumpy. Yes, the bible is VERY racist & VERY sexist in…
Look, first of all a person can admire who they want for whatever reason they want. Telling someone what they should or shouldn’t believe in & who they should & shouldn’t support is very FoxNews & has no place here. Second, I grew up around stick in the mud, bug up the ass Catholics my WHOLE life. I went to catholic…
Oh com'on. This is the best you're gonna get from a Pope. The church is never going to accept abortion, it goes against the tenants of the religion.
He’s coming to philly in September which is very close to me. I’m seriously considering going. I can't help it. He's just pretty damn cool sometimes. Not ALL the time but some & that's a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned. I saw Benedict in person when I was 17 & he just didn't have half the charisma…
I understand that Francis is still the Pope, and thus there’s a limit on just how awesome he can be. But graded on a curve compared to other Popes, he’s an A+.
How many people had to approve that, d’ya think?
I heard they just hired a new director. Her name is Zacharina Snyder. I’ve never heard of her, but they say she’ll keep the vision true to the rest of the DCU.
It was rumored that she may have dropped out as a way to free up some schedule space to direct Captain Marvel for the MCU. I dearly hope that’s true.
Ugh, what a bummer. As a lady nerd who works in the industry as a mere PA but hopes to one day direct, this sort of news is deeply demoralizing. Even when you think your foot is in the door, you can still get shoved out.
