    Default What the F**k is going on in this country?

    My nephew, who is 30 and not political, posted a reference to this on Facebook, he couldn’t believe it and neither could I, absolutely incredible might as well offer him a post in MI6 and be done with it.

    Are people of Russian descent different in a way that makes them unworthy?

    Some of mixed heritage might take exception to this idea.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    link didnt work for me... and no, not everyone is of mixed heritage.. Heritage is the full range of our inherited traditions, monuments, objects, and culture. Just because we are a mix of anglos, saxons, vikings, romans etc doesnt mean they are our heritage..

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I guess I am. Neither of my parents coming from the country I am in and both coming from different countries.

    It’s not a heritage issue, which I think you know? We have just had an official report warning of too much involvement from Russia within our society and in positions of influence and power, and yet we have this happening, somewhat questionable I would say!

    Doling out peerages to "the great and the good" (ie people who have been useful/may be useful in the future) has been going on for years - what do you expect when we are talking about an unelected house.
    By the way his family own newspapers - very useful
