It wouldn’t be Sunday without a ranting Nick Cohen column ostensibly about something else but actually about bashing Corbyn.

Just popped in to note that the Guardian is still calling the Five Star Movement 'anti-establishment' even though they're now the actual government of Italy.

Yeah. If she's somehow managing to go through her own salary and another grand on top, despite only paying for food, petrol and fun stuff, she's not being quite as thrifty as she thinks. "I spend it all on the girls." Well yeah, so do most parents, it's just that it's usually in the form of keeping a roof over their heads.

Hardly getting over it.
Leavers do not worship Odin/Wotan/Woden. Herne/Cernunnos is the Leave deity of choice, blatantly.

Nougayrède may be the worst of all Guardian columnists (and there is some stiff competition) - Macron supporter, EU supporter.

I had a quarter-life crisis which seamlessly morphed into a third-life crisis and then a mid-life crisis. Or perhaps we could just appreciate that lots of people are fucked up and miserable and not do this generational distraction bollocks.

Being generally fucked up and miserable is, of course, far less interesting and Guardian-worthy than having it all then losing or throwing it away in a 'crisis'

Well quite, I mean who would be interested in an actual analysis vs dramatic tales which also reinforce the idea that everyone’s life is brilliant unless there’s some special event, which of course you can overcome and if you don’t you’re not really trying I guess.
Also we do need to have lifestyle pieces with 20-somethings who own stylish houses and have terrific wardrobes (buried in paragraph 8: “parents lent them a hundred grand”).

It takes a very specific sort of mindset to think that "I haven't got a high-powered motor, a Notting Hill home and a glamorous TV career at age 25" amounts to a crisis of any kind. "I'm living in much the same way as every other person my age" is a social anxiety largely solveable by dropping the assumption that you're a character in a Richard Curtis film.

She also wrote that Britain handled decolonization better than France, because it didn't have any wars of decolonization.
There are not facepalms enough for such a statement.

Levine did an excellent guest stint on Surveillance Valley – Sean's Russia Blog well worth a listen. The review is terrible and reads like the guy is hurt by Levine's (spot on) dismissal of Gladwell

So she got put in a room for half an hour while they sorted out her paperwork fuck up and she wasn’t allowed to use her phone in that time? And then they shouted at her because she used her phone after they’d already explicitly told her not to use her phone? I don’t know how she copes with the PTSD.
