gently caress just realized this but too late, it's owned by Jonathan Harmsworth, 4th Viscount Rothermere, a guy who really sticks up for the people!

edit: I keep confusing The Sun and Daily Mail, because the idea that england essentially has 2 Fox News is hard to comprehend.

Kinda like the far-right party who recently rose on the wave of fear in my country, their first leader was also a bona-fide nazi, and supported the nazis during the war, but that my friends is a story for another thread. (dictionary wants me to capitalize nazi, but gently caress 'em)

100% of the Lib Dems were worthless + stupid in that government.

They couldn't secure a vote on PR so we got that AV abortion, but they propped up the government just enough that its backbenchers getting rowdy made brexit happen. Scum.

Because until I posted in CSPAM I didn't really venture into DnD except to say "jesus christ what a lot of poo poo posts" then one day I dipped my toe in the water like an idiot instead of staying back.

I think the thread is less prolier-than-thou than it used to be though? idk
