What a ridiculous and ill-informed statement. I have never understood why obsessive Zionists like Lipman don't emigrate to Israel if they think the country is so perfect and anyone who dares to criticise Israel are 'fascists'. Such a stupid woman.
Never thought I would see the day when a British prime minister would insult the Queen by "daring" her to sack him, boast about defying the law and talk of "squatting" in No.10. The man seems to have lost his mind!
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar appears the very image of a statesman; smart, calm, measured and erudite. Meanwhile our prime minister looks as if he's just got of bed, standing ape-like and grinning as though he's the village idiot. The man's a bloody embarrassment!

Feast your eyes on Vladimir Solovyov, the man of constant sorrow: he cries, he sighs, he lies. He encourages Russians to die for the Motherland and praises himself for his "choice" to give up his Italian villa (it was seized and he was sanctioned, so the choice was made for him).
Boris Johnson is a serial liar and a serial adulterer. That Tory activists don't see such behaviour as a bar to leadership of their party speaks volumes. If he'll betray his wife and his leader, then he'll just as easily betray his party and his country.
