Sceptical

Yesterday the Tory MPs voted in the next round of their Party leadership contest. Of the four candidates, Kemi Badenoch received the fewest and has been knocked out. She was the one person with genuine Conservative beliefs, the one person who could have injected the party with new life. As it is, the three remaining candidates are much the same as has gone before. Bland, uninteresting, and with no discernible political convictions.

Nothing will change, it will be more of the same. This country is set to continue its spiral into oblivion.

As trolling goes his comment is up there with the best.

Vladimir Putin told the Russian people today that he would protect them from Western cancel culture. As trolling goes his comment is up there with the best.

The Russians are the masters of cancel culture; they don't though waste their time with Twitter pile ons, they go straight in for the kill. Literally. It's not so very different from the days of the Soviet Union when dissidents were routinely assassinated or shipped to the Gulags, they and their work airbrushed from history.

So if you've been sitting there thinking maybe Putin has a point, just remember the lessons of history and be careful what you wish for.
