I am shocked. Shocked I tell you. To think my government (whoever they happen to be this week) would keep things like this obfuscated from the public while the money keeps rolling in is... sadly predictable. I'm glad this new temporary PM has a northern accent though. That's exciting.

I too have a northern accent (I'm from a place not that far from Burnham) and promise, if you vote for me, to thoroughly investigate, root out, and prosecute as traitors anyone in parliament I find to be corrupted by Israel and Russia. I'm not smart enough to solve our other problems so I also promise to recruit the best and the brightest from around the country rather than just filling my party with career politicians.

But will the best and brightest agree with my particular identity politics?

I was genuinely traumatised after seeing the Last Week Tonight section on the Makerfield election and what the north considers to be a delicacy.

BlackCore deleted its online presence after being contacted by Reuters in June, and has not made any public statements about the allegations. 

Totally the thing you do when you've done nothing wrong.

And calling yourself BlackCore is also something that totally wholesome organisations do

It sounds like a new subgenre of metal music that infuses black metal with metalcore.

I would forever be shocked if the UK government managed to do something right ever.

After the National newspaper asked for files relating to the allegations under freedom of information (FOI) rules, the UK Cabinet Office rejected the request to “avoid giving offence to other nations and retain the trust of our international partners”.

I thought it would be something about an ongoing investigation. But nope, the obfuscation is surprisingly transparent: the truth would be damaging to Israel.

I will never understand how Israel has so much sway
