Which was why I was happy to support Corbyn while not being a Corbynista in any sense.

He was elected leader and there was always the opportunity to elect a better one.

US Supreme Court judgement!

Only not being unanimous on throwing out the Texas "case" to invalidate the election, on a technicality (it was 7-2)
The most diehard of diehard Trumpistas have now moved on to demanding military coups and/or civil war

Cornwall councillor Tim Dwelly said Boris Johnson promised Cornwall the same investment that it got from the EU, according to the the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS).

"He literally put that to the people of Cornwall in advance of the last general election and now he seems to have completely broken his promise," he said.

"Here in Cornwall the people who voted for Brexit and voted for the Conservatives did so because they believed or were told it was about taking back control and a commitment by our government to continue to support Cornwall.

"They will be feeling used."

A 28-year-old man reported that he had been approached by a man claiming to be in the entertainment industry. The suspect asked the man to take part in a game show for the chance to win £5,000, the Metropolitan police said. The man was asked to go to a hotel in Newham, east London, to take part in several filmed nude “challenges” as part of the show. The suspect then kept the footage, believed to be for his own gratification, police said.

I do understand, and agree, that this is a bad thing, and get why it is a bad thing. On the other hand, 'I was happy to get it all out for everyone to see but if it's just for him then that's not on'.

Is it cynicism, relief or standards that makes me relieved it's not a story about a man preying on women or an adult on children?

Anyone who has been lied to in order to get them to pose naked is a victim, I think, even if they would willingly get naked in some circumstances. The cynic in me does wonder, though, if the relative novelty of male victims has led to extra effort in solving the case.

But he is right the British people voted for the EU to abolish itself in 2016 and for the end of negotiations and never hear the word Brexit ever again in 2019.

The fact that both are impossible says something about British politics and the expectations of the British public.

That's what people voted for. We may not like it, but the British public want resolution to this now.
