Lefty.

Trying to reduce my consumption of political coverage.

Well said.

Like the fessor, I have no friends.

I have actively refused to swap phone numbers and attend social events.

I have made my life small.

Partly consciously for political reasons
(I'm an environmentalist)

And partly unconsciously; by character I'm a loner.

I'm an unsociable socialist.
FFS, Gary.

Stop interrupting!

Yehonatan Ovadia, an anti-Zionist Orthodox Jew, is in ICE custody and faces deportation.

So, an Orthodox Jew is "anti-semitic" because they oppose Israel.

Israel uses "anti-semitism" against everyone, including Jews, who oppose it.

If I were a traitor, I'd serve up Richard E. Grant to be revealed as a traitor to the group.

He's too much of a liability.

In maths, division and subtraction are non-transitive.

In #CelebrityTraitors, saying you are a traitor is also non-transitive.

In other words,
saying you are a traitor when you are a traitor
is not the same as
saying you are a faithful when you are.

I think!

It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good (or something like that).

Diesel prices will push the introduction of electric lorries around the world.

Lorries are already heavy so big batteries are less of an issue.

Sort of too obvious to have Richard E. Grant as a "big dog" traitor.

Would leave preferred another young woman.

Terrorism against Israel is counter-productive.

The natural reaction is one of sympathy for the people involved.

Which Benjamin Netanyahu has hijacked to engender sympathy for Israel in general.

All very well to say we, the UK, will rejoin the EU.

Do they want us to?

And on what terms?

I wouldn't blame the EU for setting onerous terms, given the shitshow of the past decade.
