Endless Possibilities
The great political divide – Guardian-style:
Yes, an “always Labour” politics teacher clashes with a GP who votes “Labour every general election.” No crockery was thrown, you’ll be astounded to hear. To spare you the unbearable suspense, both dislike Mr Trump. That’s pretty much it. Both ordered cocktails and had “a really positive experience” chatting to the other. Or, in effect, to themselves.
Really getting to the bottom of things.

The Guardian series Dining Across The Divide, in which supposedly contrasting characters thrash out their differences, should any materialise at some point, is credited to Zoe Williams, whose mouthings have proved so inadvertently entertaining to regulars of this parish.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
That. And once again no comments allowed over at the Guardian…
But they can’t permit reader feedback to disrupt the mutual admiration. Or, again, self-admiration.
That wouldn’t do at all.
And hey, how else is a “debate” to be “a really positive experience,” if it’s not with someone whose assumptions and opinions on almost every subject are practically identical to your own?
Now pass that mirror. I want to check how gorgeous I am.

Drove Melbourne to Adelaide – 450 whole miles. Wow, Joe and his “partner” are veritably nigh unto Magellan.

Teaches history, doesn’t study it.
Nothing says downtrodden like dropping around 30 Imperial Dollars* each for lunch on the mean streets of Soho.

Just when did Comment is Free cease to be free?
About the same time you could be thrown into the calabaloose for a spicy meme.
