there’s a video going around today of some disease ridden Chinese cunt apparently cooking a dog alive, did anyone see it?

Someone give us some good news lads, even if it’s a red herring. It’s a barrage of bad today.

This bit at the end is :grimacing:

Amid the frenzy of events, more thoughtful Tories have concluded that the decisions taken last week will change three key aspects of the way the world works. One said: “One is the debate around globalisation. Is Trump right that we just need to build bigger walls, or is Gordon Brown right that global problems need global solutions? The second is Socialism v The Free Market. Large parts of the economy are going to be socialised after this. I fear it leads to nationalists and socialists winning, to national socialism.”

The third fissure may yet be the worst. “It’s the intergenerational question. It is unsustainable to have people in their youth put their whole life on hold for months while the economy tanks to save a 91-year-old who would have died six months later anyway.”

I’ve the cot put together kid and a coffee cake baking.
