I had thought that Matt Goodwin would use the by-election to launch a front-line political bid. Maybe he thought it too much of a risk, but risk is the lifeblood of politics.
Still, that lady has every chance of becoming an MP soon.
“They want not only their daily bread but also their daily illusion...” [Adolf Hitler, on the way the Germans of the Weimar Republic refused to face realities].
The only thing to do in England now is to make a complete revaluation of society.
Not sure how accurate is the contention that counter-intelligence is the “main function” of the FBI; not much, I think. The FBI was set up or, rather, re-established under J. Edgar Hoover (“the New Bu‘”) to deal with the wave of interstate criminality that arose after the First World War.
Counter-intelligence and counter-espionage was not its main role then, though Hoover did try to counter both Soviet espionage and, from about 1941, German espionage and sabotage. He had some successes, but was always likely to do whatever led to favourable headlines in newspapers, even if that might prejudice delicate investigations.
Zelensky should have been eliminated three years ago, as part of a swift and near-bloodless takeover. That never happened.
All in retaliation, persistent and inhuman retaliation, for an attack by Gazans on southern Israel about 18 months ago, during which hundreds of Israeli Jews died, though many from the “friendly fire” of their own armed forces.
Impressive but slightly (?) sinister at the same time.
Starmer-stein is a joke, a bad joke, as are Liz Kendall, “Rachel from Accounts” Reeves, Angela Rayner and the rest; Lammy is (arguably, and in a tight field) the most out of his depth, though. The “diversity hire” dummy posing as Foreign Secretary.
