The Anniversary of Brexit
It was the ten-year anniversary of Brexit last week. That, and we are about to see Prime Minister number seven, since the vote.
I don’t normally write about politics, but I read “Your shit is unreadable” this morning:
Where is the fucking hate? Everyone loves everything. Sunshine, rainbow. You stripped out the ugly parts, thinking it would make you more likeable. It just made you empty.
