From my Tory MP this morning:

Well done but,
He did his best to lose, after being 6 up at the end of day 2.
The lead exchanged hands so many times on the last day.

He bloody shanked the drive on the 18th and the ball rattled off trees and took a while to find. and I thought, here we go... but it just landed so luckily and he was able to go out and up the fairway He lost a 6 point lead at one point.
Anyhoo, I clicked on YT to see if I could get a live feed. 6 feeds were very belated - not live. I found one that was. In the top corner of the page, there was a counter "x mins and Y seconds to go before important Trump announcement" and I thought, wtf is this all about?
The Live feed then gets interrupted and there's Trump with an aide in front of the NATO sign.
So he starts talking about how he speaks to working men everyday and he understand the cost of living and you should buy his bitcoins... It's another bitcoin launch. I thought for a moment he was announcing stuff that would add up to WW3 but no, it was grifting and the he droned on and on and on and I never did wait to see if it would return to the golf.

Ah well. I treat golf the same way as I treat a sprint stage of the TdF.
I'm only interested in the finishing straight. 😉

Yeah, if you know the breakaway is going to get caught, you go away and then tune in for the last km.
Even then it gets a bit dull.
They ban race radio in the world's and often, the worlds make for interesting races and it's not chaotic and they aren't riddled with crashes.

I say this quite genuinely (and have said so before), even though I am quite clearly on the left, I want a sensible and pragmatic Conservative Party back, let's hope a few more of them follow suit.

As this has sunk in, I think the win has even more relevance. I know we have seen some fairly sizeable far right gains and large pockets of populism across Europe and wider over the last few Years. Hungary was different though, this was a proper full on quasi authoritarian regime headed by a Russian puppet for near two decades. This was not just an experiment but a full blown subversion of a countries democratic process by a tinpot dictator. The fact the Hungarians have now completely rejected it seems pretty significant; Hungary itself is strengthened, so is the EU, all the far right plonkers Orban funded across the world have their financial supply line cut of, and other countries at risk become confident to reject authoritarian advances. Possibly quite a significant changing tide may be approaching.
