I had a Dyson for years but recently switched to a Henry and will never look back.

It's racism. The media have stoked the populace for years with talk of "illegal immigrants", "foreigners taking our jobs" and the "country is full". It's all reactionary bullshit to sell papers, get clicks, and propel the media's chosen politicians into power. But ultimately, underneath the headlines it's all driven by racism not facts. Immigration brings in younger people, increases the workforce, boosts the economy, helps pay for an aging population. But those facts don't stoke outrage and sell papers.

Personally I blame Gordon Brown. He should have stood up to that "bigoted old woman" during the 2010 election campaign instead of caving in. He legitimised the narrative and we have paid and are still paying the price.

LOL. ID cards are literally one of the toxic New Labour policies that turned the electorate against them last time.

It's hardly surprising that a theory advocated by groups that normally don't give two shits about killing animals turns out to be false.

The fact that she blamed the Tory defeat on things like not scrapping the human rights act is spectacularly ignorant. What a useless politician she truly was. Fuckity bye.

It's been a long time since I burned Blu ray discs, but the sheer number of coasters I got to verified discs was awful. This was with Sony discs and Sony and Panasonic drives. Maybe it got better but I gave up, to be honest.

So what you're saying is he probably stole this sword from a Legend of Zelda fan.
