...could be “flesh-monger” (Measure for Measure)

Step right up , step right up! The 21st century version of the classic victorian freak show is here, for your grotesque voyeurism delight

I’m rather tired of those who weild the argument “but aren’t most of them brats?” as a defence of reprehensible teenagers. I teach 14 year olds and most are respectful, thoughtful, fluent, politically engaged young adults.

“she’s true to her brand”

I’ll be there, with bells on.

Me too.

I wouldn’t be too sure.

To be fair, she did marry into a 950 year old monarchy of inbred nutters, gentry fluffers and walking corpses that should have been laughed off the world stage many years ago - so in that sense, no outfit could possibly be considered “too old”

“We have consistently demonstrated that the Company is committed to a diverse workplace”

What a bizarre argument* ! Monuments/statues are about commemoration, an officially endorsed sign of respect designed to honour the memory of a person/historical event: they are not a reminder of “what not to do again”.

He’s not very good. It sounded like a drunk person attempting to play ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’.

Because Soros is a philanthropist?

Perhaps because they are generally hypocrites? I mean, the whole practice of believing in a load of plagirised bronze age myths and metaphors and applying it to modern life without evidence or rationale means you are already setting up a pretty rickety ethical framework.

It makes my blood boil, particularly when these anti-choice protestors act as if they are parading their moral virtue whilst being illegally obstructive and morally reprehensible.

God, you’re so right. Father Ted was really onto a winner with this sexy monobrowed hunk.
