No, do you recommend them?

Hannah Arendt argues that the distinction between truth and lie can be eroded, over time, by "continual lying." When political leaders, institutions, the press, and respected figures habitually and continually state alternative facts, their lies—even if they are neither intended to be believed nor are believed—attack the very foundations of what Arendt calls the common world. "The result of a consistent and total substitution of lies for factual truth is not that the lies will now be accepted as truth, and the truth be defamed as lies, but that the sense by which we take our bearings in the real world—and the category of truth vs. falsehood is among the mental means to this end—is being destroyed."

I think he is referring to the Blair 1997 incarnation. I will once again attach an image to complete my comment on what he says.

"That was 'I crap inwards' by Regressive Shithole" - John Peel (perhaps)

Props to the lone singer in the South Stand, and for giving me the chance to get a laugh at his expense because he thought we were in Yorkshire...

How dare that man purport to speak on behalf the 'vast majority of decent Brits'. And who is this 'we' he is brazen enough to claim to represent?

I have a lot of sympathy for this point of view - unfortunately, we live in a society where amplifying 'noteworthy' content trumps all morality.

Thoughts with you - be strong and recover well.

There is no longer a Lincoln Christmas Market, sadly.

@sacreblueits442, @deanolegend1989 - not always my cup of tea, but wish both well.

I've always been Android so I am thoroughly used to it, I can imagine the unconverted being flumoxxed.

I'd like to point out that the 'Hillary was unpopular' line is nonsense - she won her election by 3,000,000 votes.

or James...

They had an emergency plan in place, and chose to ignore it.

It's because of the nearby HighPeak(ish) Lobby - very influential...

Definitely not.

And which undersea volcano will you be buying?

I suspect she wasn't 100% fit.

52 clean winners is ridiculous.

What's going on in France is what I suspect a grown up Labour would do with the LibDems if necessary - especially given that the latter have figured out how to win a decent amount of seats, and the electorate have caught on to tactical voting.

Must be maddening to play someone playing out of their mind like this.

Sadly, this view will be shared by many, and it's precisely what those behind the destruction of democracy want us to believe.

I think most people would sympathise with this.
