'A pervert'. How so? He's not even a proper transexual anyway, rather a homosexual wannabe tranny. The fashion world has been full of them for literally ever.
Ok maybe he’s just an actor, seeing a chance to work. I certainly don’t mind being wrong about bad stuff.

But I see no reason to take his side.

I just think there's an awful lot of assuming going on here.
I mean Disney himself was a perv, disguised in plain sight as a twinkley eyed hetero. No need to slip on his slingbacks and tuck his junk away.

I don't think there's anything wrong with being a pervert. Lots of my best friends etc.

If it’s not wrong, how can it be perverted?

It reads as if she was trying to use a clumsy irony to sympathise with the victims.

I can't really fault her for this one, it's obviously sarcastic and in response to the idiot deputy chairman of the Conservative party, who earlier this week said asylum seekers complaining about being moved on to an accommodation barge should “f*** off back to France”.

Look at her shoes though, look at her shoes.

It's what we voted for, we knew what we were voting for.

It was in incredibly poor taste. I can't fault Lee, as if I were fleeing war and persecution, I'm sure one of those cruise liners with free bed and board would be a great safe start to life away from war. Of course if one is telling porkies, then there will be something wrong with it.

People in the second world war fled war to makeshift beds in the London underground, how times have changed......

Forget her shoes, isn't it time she got a new hair do? She's still sporting that open lid hells angels look....

In spite of dire forecasts from the usual suspects, it does look like the UK economy will avoid falling into recession.
ONS director of economic statistics Darren Morgan wrote: “The economy bounced back from the effects of May’s extra bank holiday to record strong growth in June.

“Manufacturing saw a particularly strong month with both cars and the often-erratic pharmaceutical industry seeing particularly buoyant growth.”

The presenter missed a key statement from all those BlackRock screenshots - BR thinks emerging markets 'have an edge' in the short-term (they specifically mention 6-12 months). They believe interest rate hikes have peaked in EM's and believe a small number of emerging markets could benefit from changing global trade patterns.
They've been saying this since June BTW, for the most part it's nothing new.

Indeed. I had a look at what BlackRock own, they're not leaving the American market any time soon, besides, war is always profitable for the yanks.

David Weiss has just been appointed Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden..

He also happens to be the guy who authored the Hunter Biden plea agreement that would have given him immunity from all future & past prosecutions...

The *official* figure is around $32Trillion... but that ignores all sorts of future debt that will be owed that technically isn't owed *yet*
The real figure is said to be closer to $180Trillion. It's been an unsustainable clusterfuck for decades & just how the fuck it hasn't all collapsed yet is a mystery.
