Where did we get the concept of "only technically illegal" from? I genuinely have forgotten, but the phrase comes back.

Wasn't it Raab, saying the government wasn't breaking the law, and then after the court finding against them claimed that it was only in specific and limited way?

There are numerous examples. The one I remember involved Northern Ireland.

You are right of course, the originator was Brandon Lewis. I remember now - thanks for the nudge.

Sleaze.
People like Piers Morgan, Nigel Farage, Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Jacob Rees-Mogg are far worse. Distortion and/or diversion.

Sadly, not everyone gives them a wide berth.

Unfortunately UK media has succumbed to adversarial pundit culture with politics as a branch of entertainment which is why supposedly serious political programmes like QT or Politics Live inevitably have hard-right propagandists from GBNews or the plethora of 55 Tufton Street 'thinktanks'. Up until recently it was Farage, who, despite failing to ever hold an elected seat in UK legislature, was allowed a constant platform to spew his búllshit.

The Daily Mail doubles down with regards to the crass pro death MP.

The one that I stupidly bought. It went back under warranty countless times but they never fixed it - (cut out after running for about 20 seconds). It sat in the corner of the lounge, only gathering dust in an ironic way, until it went to the tip. Overpriced junk.

No place to put it but it's out of context bizarre headline points to here.

Turns out Crace is in Exeter in a week or so, so I've got tickets.

It was (is) pissing down, the trains weren't running, and my leg's given up the ghost (after a little accident), but we got there and a splendid evening it was. Crace is a thoroughly decent and very entertaining fellow. Catch him if you can.

My Henry XL for garage/workshop duty arrived at the weekend, had forgotten how good the cheeky fellows are! Simple, powerful - and local too!
