I honestly cannot imagine caring this much about what somebody else does at a restaurant unless they are taking a shit on the table or something

I hear “Ridiculous Political Considerations” is what they named that new bulldozer which can level a Palestinian house in five minutes flat.

Well, the whole “go back to the colonies/remember the colonies” nonsense took place a day or so before our commencement weekend kicked off. Our university had, at that time, a black female president. And word was that Princess Michael was absolutely FORBIDDEN to attend commencement exercises after those comments were…

You know about the House of Lords, right?

Nothing juicy... When she first arrived at school she had wanted to get a special private room for “security needs” and the admin reportedly told her that she wasn’t really a celebrity or in any danger in the US, so no. Ouch.

They were democratically elected. Representative democracy is still democracy, and electors are representatives.

Not Nazi, at least not yet - and a lot of us are working to ensure it doesn’t.

Wait, who are we talking about now?

Because speaking as a Brit... we had a PM who basically got into the position because Tony Blair said “Your turn!” and he took over without an election. Then sold our gold reserves.

Then we had an election where the population was so overwhelmingly indifferent to all of them, due to…

I mean yes but come on it’s a little absurd for a member of the British Royal family to try to insult an American person in America by talking about going back to the colonies.

I did not say ‘back to the colonies.’ I said ‘you should remember the colonies. Back in the days of the colonies, there were rules that were very good.’

A thing that is worth mentioning perhaps: The references to food and essentially trading sex for meals is actually a rare glimpse (for Hollywood at least) into what a horrible time the 20's and 30's actually were. Not just in this country but across the world.

I agree. Parliament probably forgets that Wales exists, most of the time. Every project I’ve heard of to bring new businesses into old Welsh mining villages, was sponsored by the EU.

I don’t get that he’s a virgin AT ALL. He’s bad at kissing and not bad at sex, at least from Margot’s perspective. I’m sure he’s not bedding women every night. But there’s nothing I picked up on that suggests he’s completely inexperienced. I think if that’s something the author wanted us to surmise, she’d put stronger…

Why is it necessary to critique Margot?

Are you serious?

Insecure man in his mid 30's pursues a flirtation with a collage age girl. When she shows genuine interest his anger & innexperience taints the interactions. His only recourse is to exploit power dynamics. He internalizes all of her reactions including not wanting to go on a date at her workplace & dressing…

Disagree, he’s manipulative right from the start. He uses negging, selective intimacy, and changing the rules of the game to control her. He depersonalizes her right from the start. Then when she realizes it was bad sex and didn’t want to have anything more to do with him, he stalks her and calls her a whore.

That reminds me of this great line from Frankie Boyle

The Tories did seem to be trying to publicly minimise the importance of the Irish border. That’s despite the fact that it was brought up during the campaigning for Brexit. Pointing out that an open border was one of the parts of the Good Friday Agreement.

Yeah, the Brexit debacle has made it very clear exactly how much not just the UK government but a large segment of the English population (particularly the English) don’t really get that the UK is more than England and are completely ignorant about where their border even is, let alone why Northern Ireland is a…
