They've lost their hair at the same time. They've had, you know, when they're both on the steroids at the same time, they can both be, you know, a little bit moody sometimes maybe. And for them both to have that understanding and to see each other, you know, being the same, I think it's been such a huge help. They don't feel so alone. They've got each other.

Wir Deutschen dachten, dass der einzige Weg, um die Atrozität, die wir in der 2. Weltkriege verursacht haben, zu lösen, war, dass das nie wieder passieren würde. Das ist ein Land, in dem die Geschichte eine große Einbringung verlassen hat.

French far-right leader, Le Pen, banned from politics for five years

I can remember sitting there and actually not touching my phone, not scroll on anything. I was absolutely hooked on what he was saying because... It felt like he was talking to me in a weird way. There's a part in the show where he said, you think that you're so special. You think you found your soulmate 30 minutes down the road. And I was like, oh, no.

Even after I started following the breakup tally on Twitter, he still wasn't kind of getting how much it really had resonated with me.

But I would defend him. I would say, oh, well, he's tired, you know, he works nights, and I would always defend his behaviour, even though he would embarrass me. And the fact that I could tell that my family didn't like him and they didn't think that he was... he wasn't right for me hurt more, because I'd made that choice.

Yeah. People take advice from strangers sometimes more than they do the people closest to them because they don't care in the sense that If I see someone on the tube or whatever, and they've got lipstick on their teeth, and I literally, I make eye contact with them, and I do that, the motion of, like, wipe their teeth, your friend is going to worry about how to say that to you. I don't care.
