It's amazing to me that Chris Philps thinks a French naval officer has even heard of him

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I think it is time to ban you from having holidays. Every single bloody time you go away something mad happens! The binface monologue is what we all needed this week

I'm 51 years of age, and for all my adult life, the one constant in politics is 'we need to talk about immigration'. Could we try just try shutting the fuck up about it, actually?

Rayner is absolute class. She's been a bit silly in organising her taxes, but that's not why they hate her. They hate her because she did not know her place.

Brexit was a referendum on whether the UK should leave the European Union. The UK has left the European Union. Referendum fulfilled. If the people bleating about "Brexit Betrayal" wanted the Referendum to enshrine their pet policy preferences, they should have included them in the question.

I hate RFK Jr. with a passion. He is a bad person. But please stop referring to his heroin use as having anything to do with his moral depravity. Addiction is not a moral failing, it is a public health and clinical issue.

Starting to think the phrase "new psychoactive substances" has outlived its usefulness, especially with resources like the drugs wheel being available. Be interested to hear what other people think

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

Well as if the orange idiot getting re-elected wasn't enough. I've just found out the back and hip pain I've had for a few years isn't down to muscular problems as we thought but rather osteoarthritis in both hips. Not even bloody 50 yet 🙄
