Anyone seen this yet, Extinction Rebellion protestor presumably.........


And there you have it. The full horror of a political education based only on the toxic one-sided posts of whichever political feed on Twitter a person subscribes to. As further evidence, I had a conversation with a good friends highly intelligent daughter yesterday who proclaimed there was no way the Brexit deal would now be signed off by 31 January. When asked why she thought that, she had absolutely no idea.....it was just what she had heard. Sadly, these are intelligent people who are being discouraged from any intelligent independently developed thought based on supported research by the easy alternative of just accepting as true whatever they read on their Twitter feed.

The youth hasn’t changed. The girls protesting with CND at Greenham Common did some horrific things to guys I know who were stationed there. The only difference nowadays is it’s on the internet and in 20 years time when she’s going for that top Cosultants job at Stoke Mandeville someone’s going to pull that vid up and her career will be trashed.

The extraordinary thing here is not that she was wearing two left shoes. Because she wasn't

The extraordinary thing is that this photo is faked. Widely debunked as such, but still being ignored:

In fact, hasn't it been discussed here before on this thread?

NB I don't think it's racist, or was put about by tory liars.

I really can't understand all this was she or wasn't she b0ll0cks, do I really care if she was wearing two left shoes or not

That sounds painful. Maybe lay off the Viagra a bit.
Funny you should mention that
At a car boot sale a woman of about 70 was selling viagra in strips of 10
She also had a 1960s balance scale for sale because in her words , I don't understand how it works.
I looked at her then the viagra and thought , irrefutable proof , it is possible to get your brains ******* out

Not just a w@nk but some serious probing that's why I thought of #Dem ;)

Whilst a challenging and technical w@nk that stretches one's physical and mental stamina to its limits is a delightful indulgence, I'm happy to admit that 'serious probing' and @dem maser have never coexisted with such guiltless pleasures.

But the night is still young!

Best description of JR-M I heard recently - a haunted Victorian pencil :D

I'm trying to work out whether it's that description or the thought of you trying to say it without laughing that made me snort bread out of my nose about 0.5 seconds after reading your post.

Hardball?
No deal back on table?

Pound falls on report Johnson planning new Brexit deadline
The British pound fell on Tuesday after reports UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was seeking a hard line on Britain's transition period after Brexit, effectively creating a new cliff in its negotiations with Brussels.
