It’s hard to shake the sense that the Tory Govt are full of depraved, sexually deviant, coke snorting, adulterating, porn watching, embezzlers who don’t do any work, rarely turn up to parliament and generally are just Living it Large on the public purse.

Gideon Levy: 'Almost 100 journalists have been killed. So many medical teams... why do you think [killing the aid workers] is an exception.. there is no difference between 2wks of bombarding Shifa hospital & this.. and when Shifa was bombed for 2wks most of the world kept silent'

failed PSR and got a points deduction for spending ½ of that on an entire squad.
