Okay now I am really confused.
I had assumed the whole of this tweet was another Titania spoof. I am now seeing it pop up in various other places, not least Spiked, as if the main body of the tweet with the descriptions is real... surely they have just been taken in by the Titania joke. This can't actually be real can it?

The tweet is taken directly from page 3 of their guidance. Although the context is slightly different, the quote is accurate.
She is utter toilet, and I’m not even seeing many of the true believers rooting for her on Twitter or on here.
Heck, she even hesitated herself.
What nonsense is this?

Don’t assume that every person you meet—trans or otherwise—will use or understand these words. In most cases, the best thing you can do is ask which words a person uses to describe their body. Remember: Our bodies are our own to name and use.
On strategic deterrence, it’s easy to tie yourself up in knots - and easier to make a moral case for the abolition of all nukes - but a full graded spectrum of tactical and strategic deterrence options complicates the calculation of prospective enemies, and prevents small countries getting picked off and bullied by larger ones.
That’s a political benefit worth paying for, with the ultimate insurance for the ultimate threat.
Ladbrokes 7-4 AFTER the poll showing him ahead was the icing on the cake.
I still find it sad and strange that people feel it is necessary to change the meaning of words in that way.
It’ll probably end up with me getting restricted.
They don't catch me with bet restrictions.
Admittedly, that's probably because I'm atrocious when it comes to leadership markets.
Should she press it?

I am less sure about Major or May, and doubt anyone can be confident over Trump.
There’d be no guarantee otherwise that the Russians wouldn’t strike again, or do it to an ally.

Ladbrokes have partly welched on one of my bets recently, and are now ignoring my emails.
I’m fuming.
That would be a pity I would be tempted by Nandy if she makes it and runs a good centre left campaign.
They just though he was Jesus. He was pure, different, passionate, fair etc and they loved him. It was very much faith in the man himself. Not the purity of the cause, which I suspect they’re more open-minded about than we think, despite all being left wing - natch.
Hence, RLB (the slightly reluctant tribute act) is hugely overpriced.
Diane Abbot was the left wing candidate
Andy Burnham and EICIPM Centre left
Balls Centre Right
David Milliband Centre Right

They were of Iranian descent.
If a person answers "yes" - and truly means it - then it definitely makes sense for them to espouse our nuclear deterrent.
If they answer "no", more probing is required to test the logic of their position.

Unions however made nominations when there were 5 options and they chose the centre left Ed over the left wing Diane Abbot
They clearly feel miffed about the fact I want them to pay out (in full) on it, and are basically DK’ing me. Probably because they’d have kept the money if it were only a few weeks later.
They’ve paid the profit but won’t refund my stake. I’m arguing it’s a winning bet, but radio silence so far.
Safeguards required around children having surgery and to protect the integrity of women's sport, but otherwise live and let live and equal status to those (the vast majority) lucky enough to not have the issue to deal with.
Really no need for the moral panic, prurient fascination, and relentless need to mock.
IMO.
In 2015 they backed Corbyn over Burnham but Corbyn was in the final 2 unlike Abbott
Based on declarations with or without nominations going in, the score is:
RLB 14
Lewis 1
Nandy 9
Phillips 12
Starmer 29
Thornberry 2
Seems up to date and avoids any need to click on the dark side (Guido).
I expect that Nandy and Phillips will get the numbers.
I don’t consider it a waste. It’s a form of catastrophic insurance that means we can sleep easy at night and lead safe and secure lives.
If we could be strategically bullied it would lead to a gradual diminishment in our quality of life that would affect us, over time, in all sorts of ways.
Thanks to his work the IMF has been perverting the free market and needlessly keeping the poor, poor, for over 70 years. I understand that some communists call it 'Distuctavisum' perverting the free market so that the population gets or remains poor and therefor more lickly to have a revolution,
I know it sounds like a conspiracy theory but one link below or google it.

I’m not arguing for wiping out humanity across the planet. I’m arguing that the strategic military, command and missile assets of any power that had acted in such a manner would be imperative to destroy using any means necessary.
This is a nuclear scenario that will have been extensively wargamed, and Trident can be independently targeted to various multi-targets and yields.
In other words, I won’t lose money but playing this market has probably been a complete waste of my time.
I certainly wouldn’t rule it out as a matter of course.
Sadly it looks like most of the Canadian Iranians were families returning home to Canada after holidays.
STOP delaying me!
My friend was sent at age 14 to boarding school in England, then stayed on as a medical student. He was sent to avoid the draft in the Iran/Iraq war, in which many of his friends were killed. He couldn't go back to visit until decades later.
It worked out well for him, and he was never officially a refugee, but in everything but name that was the reason for his exile. I have several other Middle Eastern friends with similar stories, from Iraq, Syria, Iran and Kurdistan.
I have never met an Iranian exile that I didn't like. Such lovely warm, poetic people.
The scenario you outline is the worst case option and one hopes it would not get to that state. But if it has happened then tens of millions of Brits are now dead and Britain, however you define it, and her people have ceased to exist in the most cruellest way. In such a scenario vengeance would be a viable option. There's even a Babylon 5 quote for it...

Harry and Markle resign from the royal family
Though of course that all depends on what each PM has written to their nuclear submarine commanders in the sealed letters of last resort when they first enter No 10
They are merely stepping down as senior royals to become more financially independent

I think everyone saw a move of this kind coming.
