Yay now Trump is legally corrupt as well as being a rapist.
Let's see how that changes the electoral dynamics in a country that is now living off the final embers of rationality and democracy it has left.

Re: Thursday 30th May 2024
Question Time came tonight from Epsom, with a peculiarly muted audience until the subject turned to raising VAT on private schools. It was held in Epsom college (a private school) and presumably some of the parents were in the audience because they weren't happy. Tough. Let's just get Farage out the...

Ok I'll suffer through QT tonight. I see they've got so excited about their 'star' guests they've stuck it on early on BBC1 but I haven't had my tea yet so I'll watch it after I've had my sausage and chips (with salad so it's healthy) and opened a beer.
