Important to be clear on who actually bore the burden here.
Wait until he hears 2-4 million soldiers from the Indian subcontinent, 500k Africans, 20k from the Caribbean, USA, Canada, Australians, Chinese, New Zealand, Palestinians, Polish & the 23 million Soviets who lost their lives, helping Britain win WW2.
From Private Eye: New Crawley MP, Peter Lamb, was leader of Crawley council when a major taxi corruption racket took place where mostly Asian taxi drivers paid bribes in the thousands for licences despite the fact they could 'barely speak any English or navigate the local roads'.
The Washington Post reports that Michael Anton and Sebastian Gorka had a falling out over who should receive credit for writing Trump's speeches. This is incorrect. In this thread, I will tell you the real reason why Anton dislikes Gorka. 🧵
Last year, Anton wrote about his strained relationship with Gorka, which in Anton’s account stemmed from Gorka irritating senior White House staff by exaggerating his own role in writing a speech Trump delivered in his first term. Anton said he was charged with clarifying to the…

How the Shroud of Turin was (probably) made. I've been sitting on this since late summer, but I'm sure many of you have seen this epic tweet, about an epic quest: x.com/natfriedman/st…
Looking for an intern to spend a month or two testing a theory about the Shroud of Turin. Ideally you can start in the next few weeks, and can work full-time. Pay is $2k/week, required in-person in SF.
Abergavenny man claims there is a necromancer living in the Forest of Dean
In his latest book, Sean McMeekin describes how early anarchists assassinated multiple heads of state. Meanwhile, the Wikipedia entry on “anarchism” effectively whitewashes this history. (NB this paragraph doesn’t include the Wall Street bombing of 1920, which killed 38)
So, a few words about this new Russian nuclear doctrine, but here's the short version: It's not a doctrine, it's a ploy. /1
A Labour MP, Navendu Mishra, received donations from the Indian High Commission. Mishra then lobbied for easier visa access for Indians coming to the UK, and increased UK diplomatic support for India's strategic aims. British politics has a serious foreign influence problem.
EXC: Labour MP Navendu Mishra tabled a series of questions on Indian interests while failing to declare he had accepted donations worth thousands of pounds from Indian organisations politico.eu/article/uk-lab…
Dude was a member of the team that botched the Wi Spa story so badly they made Andy Ngo look like a Pulitzer-winner by contrast. There's zero accountability at the Guardian -- it's embarassing jessesingal.substack.com/p/some-mainstr…
The Budget employer national insurance increase will mostly end up being passed to employees in the form of lower wages and reduced employment. A thread on why I'm disappointed by the Budget, and why this chart makes me sad.
We often hear about outrageous asylum cases, in which efforts to control our borders are frustrated by legal interference. This is a systemic issue - it's useful to see these cases lined up side-by-side. A 🧵 on some of the recent cases produced by our broken asylum system
I hate to cope but, Europe makes the only planes with doors that stay on in flight. And the best engines to go on them. And designs the key part of almost every CPU. And the best of those two mRNA vaccine companies is European. . . Missed out on tech, like most of the US did.

Unpopular opinion: The Daniel Penny case is not as simple as most people want it to be. Jordan Neely was being menacing. 100%. A bystander also told Penny that he could "catch a murder charge" & that he was "gonna kill [Neely] now" if he kept up his chokehold, which Penny's…
Watch Daniel Penny’s first interrogation: “I’m not trying to kill the guy.” The FP’s @Olivia_Reingold has been closely following Daniel Penny’s trial and has obtained footage of his police interrogation. In the video, Penny initially believes he’s there to report on the…
"However you slice the data, police shootings of unarmed blacks are ultra-rare [...] [T]he risk of this happening to a given black person is extremely small; they are literally more likely to be struck by lightning." betonit.ai/p/maximum-prog…
Last month the Home Office released their report on the asylum system. The system isn't just 'broken' - it is genuinely absurd. There's 115 pages, so naturally I can't cover it all, but it's the most insane waste of taxpayers money I have ever come across. Thread below:
"Put bluntly: The people on whom modernity depends are failing to reproduce themselves, which means modernity itself is failing to reproduce itself. Most voters have no idea that this is happening. Nor do most politicians. But it is happening nonetheless" louiseperry.co.uk/p/modernitys-s…
