Two things I've noticed in the last couple of weeks

1.) Anti vaxxers have shut up

2.) 5G Truthers have become a thing almost overnight

Now I hate to suggest the two things are related...but they obviously are

****ing moron. <doh>
Imagine being this stupid and attacking the "mainstream media", when you've almost exclusively worked for them.

Just cherrypicking some of the most damning things from Labour Leaks...

So let's get the names in Labour Leaks out there for everyone, eh?

Behind the scenes it was Iain McNicol and Emilie Oldknow leading with Julie Lawrence, Tracey Allen, Simon Mills, Patrick Heneghan, Sarah Mulholland, and John Stolliday also involved

Further up the food chain it was Tom Watson, Wes Streeting, Mike Gapes and Ian Austin - or to put it another way, somebody currently talking to his lawyer, somebody appointed to the Shadow Cabinet last week, someone who flounced off to form The Independent Change Group For Change UK Change Ltd, and somebody who flounced out and was told to piss off by everyone else

Where it gets that bit more insidious is when you looks up the other facts
Emilie Oldknow is the wife of Jon Ashworth, the Shadow Health Secretary
Nicola Murphy is the wife of Chris Leslie, another MP who flounced off to form The Independent Change Group For Change UK Change Ltd
Tracey Allen is the wife of Phil Woolas, who was kicked out of the party in 2010 after falsely accusing one of the other candidates of taking donations from muslim extremists

So a quick question for the "centrists" of Twitter: are you sure that you're on the right side of history?

Just a quick reminder on the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. Utterly disgraceful.

One thing worth mentioning, Ingham lives about ten minutes drive from me and was notorious for a particularly nasty feud with his neighbours that saw him constantly harass them for building an extension (and, worse than that, saw one of the plebs block his driveway with their fan) that eventually led to him arrested for smashing up their car

On a more personal note, I once had the "privilege" of sharing a platform with him while waiting for a train, and you could literally smell the contempt and disgust emanating from him that he had to stand within ten feet of somebody who looks like the bassist of a doom metal band

Oh great, the Democrats have decided to once again go for the "Safe pair of Hands" option

Remind me how well that worked out for John Kerry?

On the subject of the "Safe Pair of Hands" option...

Half a century of nominating ineffectual Democrats for fear of the terrible risks of choosing somebody who would actually do something brought us Trump. So, given the choice between the most ineffectual of them all and the one US politician you could count on to try to make things better for most people...

While I vote for them every election, I swear I loathe the Democrats more than the Republicans do.

It also kept Dubyuh in office for four more years

On the other hand, when all the safe pairs of hands were scared of going up against Bush Sr and were planning on standing at the end of his second term, that's when Clinton got in
