Apparently President Trump told Kirk to drop the antisemitic stuff or he'd be disowned.

X loons now claiming 3 million marched in London yesterday.

That’s as mad as the Met saying “110,000”

What did they hope to gain with this ludicrously precise answer? An air of authority?

Tho I note they’ve recently changed this to “110,000-150,000, probably”

You've misunderstood how numbers work. 110,000 does not mean one more than 109,999 and one less than 110,001 – it means 110,000 give or take 10,000.

Its fascinating how despite representing a range of different countries and having moved to those countries at different times in their lives and under differing cricumstances, a quick wikipedia look at the top 10, the majority come from Ethiopia or Eritrea.

I bet with further inspection they come from the Great Rift Valley or have family history there.

Keir Starmer's favourite television programme, Adolescence, has won a fistful of Emmys. If only there had been an Epstein documentary.

I presume it won in the best documentary category ;-)
