feel like a lot of the internet disagreement over this topic arises due to the average American understanding seasoning exclusively as like, a colourful powder that comes out of a jar. and the more of this you add to your food, the more morally correct you are

I find it amazing that this has become so completely normalised at the same time as celebrity feminism fusses over The Handmaid's Tale (which they've some how conveniently decided is only really relevant to abortion)

Yes all dogs can be trained etc etc but it's an undeniable fact that certain breeds were created by selective breeding over many many years specifically to be good at killing things and being aggressive. Why you would want one of those breeds as a family pet is baffling.

Nature belongs to no one and everyone. The British countryside isn’t being 'taken over'—it’s being celebrated. Prayer doesn’t claim land; it leaves it untouched, just like we found it. How about we focus on what unites us, like the beauty of this shared land?

Tbf they got a decent amount of coverage when one of them spoke in favour of the right to marry your cousin 🤷🏼♂️
Five Reform MPs. Same as the Independents (including Corbyn). But mainstream media gives Reform endless coverage, yet completely ignores the Independents. I wonder why?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
To provide context.
Reform obtained about 4.12 million votes at the last General Election.
The combined votes for the candidates pictured was about 0.05 million.
It is fairly common for media coverage to be determined by the popularity of parties.

This is also why Robbie Williams never really broke America, I think – something like ‘Angels’ is fundamentally a British chanting song, it’s made to be belted out in unison by a crowd in a very, very British way
