Similarly if I'm cycling slowly (eg up a hill) and there's a line of traffic (or a bus) queueing up behind me, I'll often pull over to the pavement to let them pass. Again - not required.

Small point but the fact the EU hates an agreement should not be taken as evidence it is a good thing / skillfully negotiated by us. This is the very definition of zero sum thinking.

So, stock up on discourse? And bottled water?

To be kind to Daniel Hannan, the best possible explanation is that he hasn't actually read and engaged with the Rivers of Blood speech, and just knows if he quotes it approvingly it will win the support of racists.

Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan “For reasons which they could not comprehend, and in pursuance of a decision by default, on which they were never consulted, they found themselves made strangers in their own country. They found their wives unable to obtain hospital beds in childbirth, their children unable to obtain school places, their homes and neighbourhoods changed beyond recognition, their plans and prospects for the future defeated; at work they found that employers hesitated to apply to the immigrant worker the standards of discipline and competence required of the native-born worker; they began to hear, as time went by, more and more voices which told them that they were now the unwanted. On top of this, they now learn that a one-way privilege is to be established by Act of Parliament; a law which cannot, and is not intended to, operate to protect them or redress their grievances, is to be enacted to give the stranger, the disgruntled and the agent provocateur the power to pillory them for their private actions.” #OTD 1968

Hannan approvingly quoting Powell's speech opposing Race Relations bill, which prohibited discrimination on basis of ethnicity. Eg the famous constituent's right as a landlady to refuse to rent to Black people, which Hannan seems to be arguing to restore. Can I call him racist yet or no?

95% Muslims / Arabs prior to 1949 is definitely wrong. Are you including transjordan (ie entire British Mandate)?

Jerusalem was majority Jewish by 1900 so there's something wrong with that map.

I like it and I think it should go beyond just music.

Yes. "Toaster bread" or "toasting bread" or something.

I still like the idea you need to go somewhere else to demonstrate its toastability. ("Ours is only for the overdoing/burning stage")

From het hero to net zero. Or something.

Ok I'll stop now.

Right. Because technically Ed would be a Dilf.

My Dad would have been 102 (he passed away in 2010).
He had a nanny who taught him cockney Victorian music-hall songs (which he then taught us.)
I've lost track of my point. Other than "you never can tell" and "who wants to form a music hall revival group to tour the old age homes of Yate with me?"

Now you tell me.

I think I've had one of the Bath rugby team in my lectures. But luckily I have a policy of not being an obnoxious arse to our students, regardless of their ability to maim me, which I'll continue regardless of OfS guidelines.

The whole of the Spectator / Telegraph opinion pieces are too tho tbf.

Is she!? Fuck I can't tell them apart these days...

I'm not making the "it could have been worse" defense.

I mean, the whole of X is anonymous accounts claiming without evidence that niche right wing obsessions are the views of the median voter...

It isn't a defense of the policy, it's an explanation of why I think "the overton window pushing right merely helps Labour adopt its comfort zone of submissive Atlanticism" is poor analysis of the reason for it.

And remember he got shit from the RW press and opposition for not joining the war.

Not convinced re "Submissive Atlanticism". For things that Starmer does not think are in the UK interests (rolling over on Greenland, actually joining in Iran attacks) he won't do (which may, and do, annoy Trump).

Eg saying nice things / letters from the King cost UK nothing, so don't bother me.

It is as you say subscriber access. What's its evidence?

How does "there are actually quite a few attacks on mosques" invalidate your "there are no attacks on mosques" point? Seriously?
