So glad we don't get that kind of cr@p in this country.
Tory MPs — including some in the Cabinet — are worried the Sunak/Hunt tax rises and spending cuts will go too far, killing off growth and their electoral prospects
One Cabinet minister says Sunak risks managing UK decline

I can also see this ad working with less educated, religious Americans. Hispanic Catholic blue collar etc.
.....meanwhile away from the celestial world but just as bonkers James O'Brien talks Brexit

For a ghastly moment I thought he would be.
No one was injured during the incident at Harmondsworth detention centre near Heathrow Airport, but the power was still out just before 9am on Saturday, the department said.
The Home Office initially claimed that a "group of detainees left their rooms" and went into a courtyard area "armed with various weaponry", but later withdrew that claim.
Sky News- breaking
So it begins
I’ve been told they are generally “affluent Chinese students studying in the UK”
The young women are the most beautiful I have ever seen, as a group. More than 50% are stunning. There must be some genetic/evolutionary explanation but I’m still working on it. Maybe Xi has ordered all the plain ones to stay home, to promote China’s image abroad
We don't do more than humour monarchs who try that sort of lin enow.
For Republicans, it's becoming more apparent that they value the *idea* of religion without actually participating.
In 2008, 17% of Republicans who never/seldom attended said religion was very important.
In 2021, that had risen to 27%.
To be Republican is to be religious.

Probably easier to do Republican stuff if you're not being exposed to all that "who is my neighbour?" talk on a regular basis.
Dear God!
This could go wrong.
De Santis has done everything in his power to overturn this result. Making it close to impossible for former convicts to know if they have paid off any outstanding fines (the GOP decided that if you had any fines outstanding you were still not eligible to vote) as there is no centralised source of what fines a person owes (smells like an illegal poll tax to me).
He's then launched a high profile campaign of arresting people for voter fraud for voting having failed to pay off fines. In every case the people arrested had been sent voter registration papers by the state and in many cases they can confirmed with the state that they were eligible to vote. Only to be arrested later under the byzantium system of secret fines.
And DeSantis boasts about this.
The policy is discouraging eligible voters from voting in Florida as they are scared about being arrested for Election fraud. The voter suppression effect is enormous - he's probably disenfranchised more Black voters than any living politician in America.
He passes laws to punish corporations who don't align with his political views.
De Santis is a fascist.
His reply was "money"
So you have in fact answered your own question
Generally affluent women are more attractive than less affluent ones.
Fascism is bad and unprogressive
Therefore religion is fascism
Just as
Socrates is mortal
Oak trees are mortal
Therefore Socrates is an oak tree.
I like that one. Will have to remember it for future discussions with hyufd.
U.S. President Joe Biden has said that the social media platform, Twitter, purchased by Elon Musk, spews lies across the world.

His campaign should rightly sue whoever put that out there.

Here's some stirring

Saying that 'America was built on the Bible and is a Christian country and must go back to being that again'. Strange. For a people that so loved the 2nd Amendment, they forget the first lines of their own Constitution that explicitly say that America ISN'T a Christian country.
Some other lunatic was saying that the Democrats are the devil and should be killed, but when asked said that he wasn't advocating hate speech.
I wonder if these lunatics ever truly won, who they'd then blame when their country collapsed back into the dark ages.......

However, I am specifically wondering why the rich CHINESE are so spectacularly beautiful. The assortative mating in the Chinese elite must be quite something
He’s not alone. Polling (via John Curtice) shows % who think Brexit has had a negative impact on economy has risen markedly.
It has jumped from an already bad -29 in Feb to -46 in Oct. https://twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/1588845845793079301/photo/1
An interesting finding from a CBS generic ballot poll last week showed a huge difference in house seats if younger people actually turn out. The house was then 218 to 217 to the Dems.
I’m very doubtful about younger turnout but would love to be proved wrong .
No morn — no noon —
No dawn — no dusk — no proper time of day.
No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member —
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! —
November!

ETA but I will take it over Jan/Feb/Mar/most of Apr
Do you believe that we should let them go on the grounds that they are prepared to used violence (and weapons) to achieve their objective? Do you believe that makes them more or less attractive to the UK as an immigrant?
That’s a dangerous place to be ahead of any general election, when more people (green line) think in hindsight quitting the EU was a mistake. https://twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/1588846276560715777/photo/1
What was mistaken for various weaponry? Umbrella’s could be, to be fair to the Home Office u turn on weaponry.
How did the detainees deliberately cause the power out - or was it a power out that made them congregate outside where there was some light?
More interesting is the defensive doom-landed tone. You need a fighter/protector because you are under threat and only I can save you. Proto-fascist rather fascist in my view, but the strong man motif (and the positioning as the Chosen One) certainly has the potential to develop that way
What has been interesting in Pennsylvania polls I've seen is that Fetterman is doing better with over 65s than Oz. It is the 45-65 age bracket that is going strong fro Oz.
Red Wall sees her admission that illegal immigration is ‘out of control’.
Blue Wall sees lack of compassion. https://twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/1588847767660945410/photo/1

It is comforting to know that you are actually there for the Hot Teen Girls.
Not wildly different from Medvedev's remarks the other day.
👏
The former generally seems to reflect nostalgic rural oldies who are reasonably financially comfortable but uneasy with the direction of society. Apparent in Russia with support for Putin, MAGA in the US, the Ayatollahs in Iran.
The latter seems the case in France with RN,
India with Modi and in some of the Scandinavian and E European countries.
Gerontocratic authoritarianism self-cancelling, young authoritarianism naturally growing?
