Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Yep, but that was more to feed on insecurities of the populace (statement of the obvious on my part 🤦🏼) 000
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 27/08/2026And sadly, rather than facing down the real danger from The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, the Democrats focused on naval gazing. Sadly I think Labour are making exactly the same mistake here 000
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Yep as it's been normalised. Statement of the bleeding obvious I know, but still 🥹 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Yep. Plus nobody is modelling what happens if the war in Ukraine ends, where do we think the Albanian steel fixers will go? Structural work in Britain relies heavily on the concrete doctors from Albania! 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I say this with affection, but please let this be the only musing you're right about over the coming 2-3 years 011
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I wonder if the people who work there also moonlighted as Keir Starmer's Comms team. The similarities are striking! 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Sadly Shipman is a more guarded version of what RL was. Thankfully for him and his ilk, many people are ignorant of the damage they've caused to society 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 05/08/2026All one big joke to the rags. I know, I'm tedious with this line, but it never ceases to amaze me. I'm even more incandescent with rage having read the brilliant "Post Mortem" by Richard Brooks, so I'm even more cynical than usual. 020
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Sam Coates would have been lucky to be a runner at best 20 or so years ago. Shows how far standards have dropped 010
Reposted by AnthonyPeter Smith @redpeter99.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Chris Mason was so upset that Farage might be absent from public life that the BBC had to phone his mum to come and pick him up and take him home. 19595112
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Sadly you're correct there. Cue his attempt to frame this as a win for Nigel... 140
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Shipman is many things, but Journalist he isn't. He's a parasite 000
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 07/07/2026And yet enough people fall for it. Chris Mason (yet again) shamefully salivating at the prospect 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 21/06/2026For some reason, when reading your reply this popped into my head: 000
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 21/06/2026My question is, if true: why cause this now? It has been suggested by some that Burnham is a Northern, better dressed version of Johnson. Much like you with Spurs, I hope I'm wrong, but this "waiting" stuff doesn't fill me with hope! 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Exactly, they project the very thing that they are onto their enemy (e.g. those that voted remain etc.) 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Yep, however as you well know: hubris x 💩 for brains is a toxic combo! Not that the policy makers care, as they're surgically attached to newspaper editors 011
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 13/06/2026Careful now, or you'll have a pile on claiming you're part of a smear campaign... 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Classic Groucho Marx - I have principles but if you don't like them I have others vibes from Tone 000
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 27/05/2026And sadly, the current incumbents show no desire to learn lessons. 000
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 25/05/2026In some ways you simply have to admire their chutzpah; they're systematically wrong about everything they opine on, yet they still come out swinging, pretending to be intellectuals! 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 18/05/2026She's not the only one, but by gosh she's been so underwhelming. If the past few weeks haven't confirmed the urgent need to clamp down on the nonsense in the media, nothing will 000
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 28/04/2026I'm at a loss other than to say "don't believe everything you read and/or are told" 020
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 14/04/2026I'm just a grumpy cynic David! And, to be fair, she's far from the only one 000
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 14/04/2026When someone shows you who they are, believe it. She's like most of that pack of (insert profanity); courtiers who shill for others. 100
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 13/04/2026There's a delicious irony that the Mail is reporting on a pub named The Rat 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Spare a thought for poor Chris Mason at what must be a very tough time for him 020
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 12/02/2026As always you're on the money. A filthy PoS who is only where he is by dint of his birthdate 160
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 12/02/2026You're probably bored of me saying this, but I've said this since day 1 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Yep, a lot of it avoidable. That said, as others have pointed out, ignoring this story they have been held to a far higher standard than their predecessors 000
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 10/02/2026It's funny how Rigby et al. have found their voices that were mysteriously missing for the preceding 14 years, isn't it? 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 08/02/2026Yep. All one big joke to people like him. I remember listening to him on LBC reminiscing over Al Johnson (implying without that bumbling moron, it wasn't fun anymore). It's at this point for the sake of your eyeballs and my blood pressure I stop ranting! 010
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 08/02/2026He's very thin skinned and has sailed very close to some of the more unsavoury aspects of the right recently 100

Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 08/02/2026I feel the picture they've used for the article sums up Nelson perfectly; smug, arrogant, holier than thou. Scratch underneath the surface however and you find what can only be described as an empty, partisan vessel 100
Anthony @af165192.bsky.social · 02/02/2026This is what it all boils down to. I don't think I've ever (or will again) see a government with such a thumping majority be so afraid of its own shadow. Whatever it does they'll be criticised so why not go all in? 233
