I have a sneaking suspicion that they will now move to "side-line" Punk from the title scene and press ahead with a second "epic" Reigns run featuring Rollins as his chief opponent (even though he lost to Gunther and it should be Gunther as the new challenger).

Fatal flaw: Keir Starmer’s leadership vacuum threatens to swallow him up The PM’s current and former colleagues say the Mandelson scandal has exposed the hollowness of his hands-off style.

"'Lots of people think Keir Starmer is a good man who is out of his depth,' said one Labour insider. 'Wrong. He’s an asshole who’s out of his depth.'"

If you claim your right to "free speech" is being oppressed by others protesting you, or boycotting you, you are not interested in free speech at all.

Because the door swings both ways. You can say what you want, and others are free to disagree. You prevent that, you lose free speech entirely.

Reminder:

We don't have a right to Free Speech in the UK. We have a right to Freedom of Expression (and yes, there is a difference).

But that freedom comes with certain responsibilities. Such as being liable for the consequences of your freedom.

And the right of others to ignore you.

I still think regularly about how cursed we are not to have gotten a three-film deal culminating in this scene from the Karl Urban take on Dredd.

Shit, when I was at Uni, if a lecturer had expressed views like that guy did, his colleagues would have forced him out, never mind the students...

And the lecturer suing for constructive dismissal because students chose to boycott his lectures due to his racism... That's nothing to do with the Uni. They can not force students to attend lectures if they find their content abhorrent and morally wrong.

Eww, someone interviewed uses the "be respectful of all other beliefs" bollocks. No. I won't be respectful towards racists, homophobes, etc. They have done nothing to earn my respect, so they don't get it.

I wish students would go back to being more radical.

with those who voted you in based on a belief and promise of not governing in that particular manner.

If you get voted in on a particular platform, govern on that platform. If you never intended to do so, you shouldn't have campaigned based on it.

If your party has more seats in Parliament than all the opposition parties combined, you don't get "forced" down any particular political avenue.

You CHOOSE to take that route. It is a conscious decision made by the Party leadership. And you certainly don't get to moan when it proves unpopular /1

The shift to the Right was a choice. With the massive majority gained at the GE, Labour did not need to start chasing Reform and their supporters. But they CHOSE to.

Think about why they made that choice. Look at the senior people in the Party. 50 years ago, they would all have been Torys.

I see that guy who says controversial things for attention has been filmed saying something controversial for attention again.

Oh, he was "stopped from picking it back up", was he? Well, he'd already broken the law by that point. We don't allow burglars to put the stuff back if they get caught. So same applies here.

Zero sympathy.

Bigots always want "Free Speech", but they never want the consequences.

Want to stand up in public and be transphobic/racist/homophobic etc? Then you have to accept the consequences of that. Which could mean a protest against you. Or your employed deciding you're fired.

Actions have consequences/

wish to exercise their own freedoms.

Government should not be interfering with higher education. Doing so is a very, very authoritarian move.

Universities (and Student Unions) are private entities. They have a legal right as I understand it to allow or disallow whoever they wish from speaking on their premises. This law would end that and force them to platform any bigots/cranks who wish it, and leave them open to being fined if they /1

Tim Curry as Gomez Addams. He is wearing a grey & black striped suit, with a black shirt and dark grey bow tie. His hair is slicked back with a centre parting, and he has a thin moustache.

I quickly knocked up a bit of Jurl on the Super Cassette Vision using SCeVe, it's been fruitful because it's helped me find several issues in the parser - but i've got levels 1 and 2 running, including multi-layered sprites to add a bit of colour

WrestleMania Night 1 verdict:

Very, very "meh".

Only 86 minutes of wrestling on a 4 hour show.

30 mins for the main event. 15 mins for Rollins/Gunther.

45 mins total for the other 5 (FIVE) matches on the card, which included 2 Women's title matches....

Pathetic from TKO.
