If you claim that some point is "obvious" despite the fact that lots of smart and knowledgeable people either (1) express surprise at it, or (2) disagree with it, then... you're just empirically wrong

I fucking love this reply. It really illustrates how fucked the American mindset is. “Why,” she wonders aloud, “would anyone bring a child to a place where the police are? Who would trust a policeman to *not* mace a child? That place is dangerous. There are POLICE there!”

Jeremy Corbyn says it will take Boris Johnson 7 years to negotiate a “Canada-style” trade deal.
It’s correct that the EU’s trade deal with Canada took 7 years to negotiate. That doesn’t mean a UK-US trade deal would necessarily take as long. instituteforgovernment.org.u… #ITVDebate
