There's quite a few custom T-Shirt outfits that'll relieve you of £20 or so

Does anyone still have an "Up yours Delors" T shirt? " F--- off von der Leyen" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

"It was the political union I voted to leave".
Me too!
But I was guilty of voting to join the "Common Market". If only I had believed how it would evolve.

Let's all get together behind Ursula (and the "Jupiterian" president) - she did such a tremendous job as Mutti's defense minister and he's such an affective errand boy.
The hubris of the European political elite is boundless isn't it?

It was the political union I voted to leave. The Ukraine war has proven the UK can co-operate with the EU on security matters, it's the EU that can't pull together.

Macron invites Britain to join an alternative 'European political community'
'ere we go again another thin end of another similar wedge.
And while were at it can we consolidate are European armies with yours?
How do you spell f--- off?

I think it's insight ... but I just thought - wait - a legally nonpartisan election integrity charity gathers a multi-petabyte data "blob" and mines it...
- that suggests strongly to me that they are late to the party and that the political machines have been doing that for some considerable time.
So... he who lives by the sword - you know the rest.
Looks like 2000Mules was an opening salvo

Anybody who thinks that the USA election situation is unique to the USA needs to consider that politically active “Not For Profits” are a feature of the British political scene – especially related to the Climate Crisis, Social Climate Justice and the like … Outside the formal election process but up to their necks in it.
I get the feeling that TrueTheVote are a bit more non partisan than the folk running other tax deductible 501(c) outfits that have orchestrated the vote stuffing ballot paper logistics – and some of the energy they’re putting into this scrap is in part driven by loathing for people who are abusing their “charitable status” to cheat.
I hope Zuckerberg’s getting squeaky-bum (no anesthetic available)
The Guardian / BBC is pretending not to notice while no doubt trying to whip up something “credible” for their faithful…
I wonder if this is why Jen Psaki baled out?

tomo,
Instead of watching 2000 Mules yesterday evening, I watched this review which seemed pretty even-handed. Admittedly it tended to "confirm my priors". Suggested that a large edifice was built on pretty thin evidence. Certainly, when I first saw that phone-track going from drop-box to drop-box I thought "Well, that's the path the guy collecting the ballots is going to follow". Like the reviewer, I'm not saying that there wasn't fraud, but if I were a movie maker and had compelling evidence of voter fraud, I'd be making a movie of my efforts to get the authorities to investigate.
That piece at Paul Homewood's on the Global Green Transition includes one of my trigger words: reimagine. Always conjures the idea of moving from one impossible dream to the next.
The video on the MoD's new doctrine of the psychosis of whiteness was impressive. These days we're usually told to be sympathetic towards people suffering from mental illness, but I gather that those suffering from this "white psychosis" can be treated in the traditional pillory.
I'm not sure a general like Monash would be successful today: unlikely to get to that rank in the first place, but if he did, unlikely to be obeyed. On a slightly related note, I think prime ministers have similarly degraded over time. E.g. WWI Aussie PM Billy Hughes made things plain to Woodrow Wilson:
Today, he'd probably get cancelled for that.
