>>563 "Together and happy" isn't exactly deep, though. I think his lone pathetic statement about the relationship was another sad attempt to discredit the media's stance that Hiddleswift is a big sham. It doesn't seem to have worked though, especially now that the Kanye footage has been released and the timing of the RI pics coincides with Kim's initial interview about having the video. It's all very suspect.

The two reasons I can come up with for him sticking around are PR and/or sex. I don't believe that there was ever anything beyond surface level attraction between the two of them, and if there is any physical relationship I'd say it's mediocre at best - I base this on how they interact with each other, with slight support from comments made by her exes. And, like Taylor's relationship with Calvin, it will likely be over for weeks before they make any kind of official breakup announcement in People or whatever - give the public and the tabloids time to start speculating, and then confirm it. When this will happen is anyone's guess, though. Weeks, months, who knows.

As much as Tom's former image appears to have been manufactured to an extent, I do think his few political comments were genuine. Pro-Bernie, pro-Corbyn, anti-Farage, anti-Trump. If it is true that Taylor is far-right politically and a Trump supporter, he wouldn't able to tolerate her for any significant length of time - or vice versa. I believe there's always room for compromise and whatnot, but I just can't see a relationship working between two people whose worldviews are so disparate.
