I presume at least one off them is accused of this, but maybe not.

These are the seven current PA hungerstrikers. They don't appear to be the same people named in that BBC report.

Of course as there has not yet been a trial there is a presumption of innocence and allegation of assault with a sledgehammer untested in court. The defendants have stated they were using the sledgehammer to stop arms being manufactured for export to Israel and the police officer was accidentally injured by attempting to seize it. Lets see what evidence gets produced in court.

"Congratulations to President Kennedy"

I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation. Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.

It's very amusing to here all the advise for the Tories from non-tories. Anyone would think the panic about Reform was growing. Yet only the other day some were posting that Reform had peaked. Indeed I doubt they can get much beyond 33/5% and probably less. However, it's also quite possibly true tha the Labour bottom is not yet there. All very funny.

You do always get that. Eg Reform/Tory supporters say Labour have to do Reform/Tory things to save themselves. Ultra Conservatives say the Dems must ditch the social justice agenda if they are ever to regain the WH. And (tbf and to show what an objective cove I am) people like me say if they have any sense the Cons should tack back to One Nation moderation.

I always find the World is a happier place when run by Centrists either to the centre left (my preference) or the centre right, which is why I would always recommend centrism over fascism, be that Russian fascism, Trump fascism or schoolboy anti-Semitic, racist fascism.

To quote one of my favourite Youtube cookery channels "Nothing bad ever happened on medium".

Except the restriction of jury trials? digital id? weakening the right to silence? Labour are authoritarian to their core.

Another joke, shot down by the literal minded.

This isn't the site for gentle irony

Fascist.

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

One of my theories of the New Radicalism is that its leaders are bored, frustrated, wannabe Men Of Action. Yes, I am looking at you, Glasman. And you, Farage.

Whereas for your average person, varying shades of Butskellism have turned out to be more effective at delivering better lives to more people more sustainably than anything else anyone has come up with.

Butskellism made things (ok forget Dr Beeching) Faragism just breaks things. The irony is by breaking things; curtailing EU membership leading to the Boriswave he becomes more popular. It's like a political Stockholm Syndrome.
