A Scary Time for The Presumption of Innocence

'A Scary Time for Boys' is a song the video of which went viral in October 2018, before the USA midterm elections. It is a response to some remarks made by the US President Trump after the appointment of Brett Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court, a nomination favoured mainly by Republicans. With typically clumsy syntax, the president's remarks express concern regarding the cultural and political climate favouring the disregard of the liberal principle of the presumption of innocence,

"it's a very scary time for young men in America when you can be guilty of something that you may not be guilty of". 

Melania's Hat is Lovely, Regardless of Ideology

This is a response to a thread on a hobby interest group commenting on this article on MSN:
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/melania-trump-raises-eyebrows-in-africa-with-another-white-hat/ar-BBO0yBm?ocid=spartanntp

I believe the thread is public and can be viewed here:

I don't want another interest/hobby group to be lost to this divisive corrupting ideology going around ruining everything that is fun and enjoyable.

On Boris Johnson's 'Burka' article

I am no fan of Johnson. I have my doubts about his merits as a politician. I have no loyalty to him and I have no doubt that many of his motives in the matter discussed  here may well be Machiavellian in nature. On a related note, I share the concern of many about the reactionary growth of the far right across Europe and in this country. I regard it as an unsophisticated and emotional reaction to the pervasiveness of far left intersectional ideology. However, I rather think that common errors in comprehension regarding Johnson's article are being made across the board, and I am startled by the level of 'virtuous' outrage which seems to have blinded many to an objective appraisal of what was and was not said. In what follows I am not necessarily defending the criticism made by Boris Johnson  in the article to which I presently refer. Instead, by way of addressing asertions and excalmations I have commonly read in the media and social media, I intend to make the case that it was a criticism of an idea put forward into the public discourse, and no more.
