The Brexit supporters lied and lied and lied. There were no benefits to Brexit, except for the super rich tax avoiders. It’s time to rejoin the European Union urgently.

Acclaimed US journalist Dorothy Thompson said much the same in 1937…
In 1935 Sinclair Lewis wrote the dystopian novel It Can't Happen Here, which describes how a demagogue could win the U.S. presidency and establish a fascist dictatorship by appealing to traditional American values: "... the worst Fascists were they who disowned the word 'Fascism' and preached enslavement to Capitalism under the style of Constitutional and Traditional Native American Liberty."

Imagine you are renting a flat to a tenant. But the tenant does not pay you any rent for the first month. They also tell you they do not intend to pay you any rent next month either. How long would it take before you legally evict them?

News to 25% of those answering the poll, if they're planning to rent out a flat. A tenant never pays a penny in rent? It takes at least 5 months to remove them. The risk could be mitigated by requiring 6 months' rent as a deposit. Beware unintended effects of legislation!

Apparently, they were Maga influencers supporting Serbia’s populist nationalist. The MAGA Friends of Putin, I guess
Valentina Gomez, Joey Mannarino, and Weronika Rogowska were among those who visited Serbia, attended SNS events, and posted support for Vučić ahead of the vote, framing it around Christian values and opposition to the student list.

One in the eye, four aspiring populist leaders? Farage & Le Pen take note?
Within a single year the illiberal axis in southeast Europe of Orban and Vucic in Hungary 🇭🇺 and Serbia 🇷🇸 has collapsed under the crushing weight of the people who demanded democratic change, an end to corruption, and open, honest government.

250 families were evacuated in Hebron. The army is destroying their houses. Why? Because 2 Hamas members probably sponsored by people abroad who attacked soldiers came from this neighborhood. What is the children’s fault? What is the women’s fault? What is the innocents’ fault? God please show mercy upon the innocents. 🙏🙏🙏

This is absolutely nuts and only hitting German papers so far: leaked emails show that seven politicians from Germany's far-right AfD travelled to Syria to meet with Assad regime officials... facilitated by Hezbollah AND Russian intelligence. handelsblatt.com/politik/deu…

After weeks of rioting in Paris no one was killed. Which technically means your child is safer attending a riot in Paris than a school in America.

Interesting breakdown of politics & perceived threats. Reform UK - Islamic terrorism is "biggest threat" All other parties - Russia is "biggest threat" Source: YouGov I removed "NI Terrorism" (0% for all parties) & "Don't knows" (13% overall)

That's how these narratives often work: denials get folded in as more proof of a cover-up. The original claim rests on one anonymous online interview with no flight records, photos, manifests or other evidence. Aether is a bookable private terminal open to paying passengers, located next to the runway visitor park and visible on maps. Local reporting found no support for secret night flights.

Proverbs represent "common sense". But one problem is that proverbs - or common sense itself - is often contradictory. Here are a few examples. Have I missed any?

If your first thought when you hear about a serious crime, like a murder or a rape, is 'what nationality was the offender' then don't pretend you're bothered about the victim.
