Why is it news that people are having misgivings over the Brexit vote? That's been obvious for a long time now, which is why supporters are so opposed to a rematch.

The most makeup-savvy woman I knew at university, my roommate's girlfriend, was adamant that good makeup enhances appearance while looking like there's no makeup, and once proved it by doing up half of her face and letting me take a close look.

The liberal screed against Trump is good but doesn't go far enough. The Trumpists would reply, "Not as bad as Hillary," so you need another section about falling for the nonsensical charges against her. Besides, there was plenty of opportunity for Republicans to get another candidate, and plenty of people begging them to do so.

"Extra Large" isn't just a less sexist term than "Mansize", it's clearer and more informative.

I've never heard of any of the Labour MPs mentioned in the article about the Brexit deal. It shows how hard it is for us overseas to follow the details of UK politics, especially in the opposition. I remember when John Smith died, a conversation about who might succeed him was stymied by none of us knowing much about the candidate pool. (Hard to imagine now, but really we didn't.) I'd be equally stymied today if a successor to Corbyn were suddenly needed.

From a safe distance, it's as fascinating as it is disturbing how transphobia is the last allowable prejudice among those most sure they're prejudice-free. (Though I see that anti-Semitism is on the rise again.) I also note the term "free reign" in the letter, which suggests that it was written by monarchists who've never ridden a horse.
