So many links, I'm gonna put them under a cut...

( This is history )

And finally, you can download 'The Hunting of Hillary' here for FREE. ('Learn the true history of the “vast right-wing conspiracy” — as Hillary Clinton herself once described it.' Hillary is obviously deeply flawed in many ways, but like I've said before - the Hillary haters remind me of the Moffat haters. The hate gets in the way of the facts. And of course, the fact that she's a woman taps into all the prejudices that are still unfortunately alive and well. See above.)

Oh and if you want to know what she actually wants to do: Hillary’s vision for America, and key policies she will fight for as president. (The one thing that comes across whenever I hear her interviewed is that she's all about action. 'This is a problem, here is how I propose to solve it.' (Including the background/history, previous policy and how that's worked, how it should be tackled in the future. Like some sort of encyclopedia with vision and a plan.)

ETA: How could I forget???

Listen To Hillary Clinton’s Interview With BuzzFeed

That’s right, Hillary hung out with BuzzFeed — and it’s not your typical interview. With the hosts of BuzzFeed’s boozy and culture-savvy Another Round podcast at the helm, we didn’t pull any punches. We asked her about everything from how she’s dealt with sexism in Washington to her opinions on the characters from The Good Wife, and even got the scoop on why she never seems to be sweating. (“You guys are the first to realize that I’m really not even a human being. I was constructed in a garage in Palo Alto.”)

Brexit & Corbyn

The Last Leg is back!!!! \o/

And they had Jeremy Corbyn on.

This was very very good.

There is a great write up here for those unable to watch.

‘I back Remain because I think the economy is important, and obviously links with Europe are important, I think human rights are important, I think workers’ rights are important,’ he said.

Although I think Johnny Vegas put it best (from memory):

'The Leave Campaign is like someone shouting at their parents: 'I want independence!' and then moving into the garage.'

(He arm wrestled with Right Said Fred over whether or not we should stay or leave.)

Apologies to anyone on my flist who might back Leave, but the rhetoric [of Boris & Farage] sounds Trump-like, and I think it'd leave Britain stranded and alone. Also (from a personal perspective) I have no idea where it'd leave ME as an EU (Danish) citizen living in the UK. And questions like that are the tip of the iceberg. No one knows what would happen with... anything.

And I don't for a second buy the argument about 'Oh, all that money we send to Brussels we could spend it here!'

THIS government? Spending more on the people? Yeah right. /cynical
