If the guy filming the 10 migrant kids in a dinghy turns his camera around 180 degrees and zooms in a long way he might just be able to capture the Tories committing tens of billions of £££ of corruption.

I don't understand what Ru'afo has seen. We've no evidence the Federation is any kind of decline.
— Vector Picasso (@vectorpicasso) August 10, 2020
Also, the Son'a worked for the Dominion and Ru'afo may well have had access to their intelligence about the Federation. His dealings with Admiral Dougherty would also make the Federation seem desperate.

We can also potentially infer that the Borg aren't interested in the Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians etc, and that taking on the Borg is seen as something of a lost cause. Although I'll concede that isn't quite what he says here.

It’s encouraging to see the press doing its job and reporting at least some of the lies blurted out by our serial liar of a Prime Minister, but why the scare quotes around ‘inaccurate’? Johnson’s claims about child poverty are inaccurate, not ‘inaccurate’. https://t.co/Yc63YPrlKI

P.S. I think Doctor Who fans should make recommendations when asked and I'm appalled at how @derian_the_imp was addressed, so if you're interested, watch Kinda & The Caves Of Androzani, they might not change your opinion of PD, but are absolute belters. I'd love to know you think

"All of them. You're a DW aren't you? You should be watching them all while the show's off-air. Don't wait for recommendations from people. Do it all off your own back. Another fan shouldn't be telling you this."
That's a demand.
It's not helpful. I've watched them all, but not in broadcast order. If no one had guided me & I'd watched Four To Doomsday or Terminus first. I might never have come back for more. Demanding that people watch them all without giving them a reason to want to is counterproductive.
