Anyway, it's not really true that Brexit has done more harm than good. It hasn't done any good at all.

They keep lying about public ownership of water Thank goodness we have fighters like Feargal Sharkey to call them out on this lie every time Make sure your MP has the facts. Take 2 minutes now to send them our NEW REPORT on how Andy Burnham can deliver public ownership: vist.ly/5jytv
Screenshot of a Feargal sharkey tweet that says ""Thatcher Minister Defends Water Selloff Despite Thames Crisis."  Let's be clear about this renationalising the water industry does not force water company investment to compete with other demands on the public purse like the NHS or education. Frankly that's a lie.  We, the consumer, the bill payer, we are already paying for all this today, upfront, now. EG over the next 5 years we the bill players are financing 99% of the so called investment, paying for it directly from our water bills, that's why they gone up so much, it's not coming from shareholders, not from govt, not from tax payers but from us, directly from our bills.  When will they stop making this stuff up?"

Kevin Rowland and Dexy's Midnight Runners are very unhappy that Nigel Farage used their music at the Reform party conference.
Tweet from the official Dexy's Midnight Runners account

I, Kevin Rowland (the son of Irish immigrants) and the main songwriter of ‘Come On Eileen,’ am disgusted to learn that Nigel Farage has used our song to make his entrance for his party conference. Myself, and all of Dexys are passionately against Farage’s politics.

There’s a new Facebook page for gay right-wing men which had a dreadful AI photo of the page owner with Farage, with his arm missing but not his hand. When I commented on it someone decided to mock up a photo of me with Frogface and all I can say is that he is three years younger than me.

It's Schrödingers outrage, isn't it. If "I can't teach in a school because I'd fuck the kids" was a joke told by a drag queen, they'd be demanding they were crucified in a telephone pole but because it's One Of Them it's actually the height of edgy humour and the woke left can't stand that.

Why is the American government having to upgrade a personal gift that was given to Trump from Qatar? The American government has Air Force 1 . This was given to Trump for his own use after his term, he should pay for the changes.
