    I think it's time to move from "seldom" to "never" re this Nazi noncey hellsite. Would recommend Bsky, it's pretty usable if you block all tankies on immediate sight (their block is fully nuke, unlike the one here)

    Based on the fact that the shooter tried to shoot Trump, rather than posting that Trump should be shot and then not shooting him, we can rule out the idea that they were a leftist

    Living in the UAE for 2 months now, some observations. - It is the SAFEST place on Earth. I haven't locked my car door or my house in a month. - People are motivated - everyone is striving to be better, do better and success is proudly celebrated. - Water, gas, electricity

    More than 15,000 NHS doctors left Britain last year. It can cost up to £400,000 to train them. It’s only fair on the taxpayer that new doctors and nurses should stay here for a given period of time.

    Whenever I get irritated with young people for incomprehensible weirdness like calling crispy duck pizza racist or watching videos of people playing computer games, I feel it's important to remember that old people voted to burn down the economy and put babies in prison.

    The UK cracked the secret of successful metro construction and operation in 1967, and then sent everyone who did it off to Hong Kong and Singapore for the rest of their working lives
