Why is the Orange Menace whipping a ghost (stick goes right through the Canadian). Or is Loopy Donny seeing things again, and that AIdeo is a call for help? 🙄

Good, let's invite that liar of an Israeli ambassador to the UK to seek other shores too.

This is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know th...

Already shared on Threads, but went for a "walk around the block" yesterday and on the way back was blessed with this. Apparently a female Sparrowhawk, and yes I just waited until she was ready to leave before moving on myself. 💙

Nah, steered clear of Clacton, Skegness and Boston (non US). Great Yarmouth too, but that's a long story... Have a good Wednesday

Ok, more helpful to have context obviously. Interesting comment given that B4B and others have marked Clacton as still highly Brexit loyal, which if true means REU would be about as welcome as a ribeye steak at a vegan barbecue!

This makes me wonder what horrors Palantir are inflicting elsewhere, eg don't they have a MoD contract too? No one seems much bothered about that...

🔴 For the past year @lucasamin.bsky.social and I have been investigating Palantir in the UK What we found was a company with unrivalled political access, selling a product many data experts in the NHS don’t use, and don’t rate Please read and share democracyforsale.substack.com/p/its-just-a...

Hmm. The ship doesn't seem to have a lot of freeboard left. Possibly too much sail up as well (any sailors confirm?) Think I'd be preparing the lifeboat if I was crew of that... Oh, and the person responsible for loading needs to be fired - preferably out of a cannon!

Phaw. Britain already did what Israel is trying to do - the whole invading other countries, committing genocide, then blaming the victims. Pre 1900s Ireland for example.

Is it a serving board? I was in a place in Ireland that had something like that and it was a plate, (note your pic has a rim). Queried it and was told surface is sealed and goes through dishwasher same as plates, very hot water and detergent.

Definitely a Bannon dead cat, because do you think for a microsecond that one of the "low foreheads" potentially involved in that wouldn't have boasted about it afterwards? ICE is full of "4 lumen intellects"...

And then you've got the Quislings taking Musk's side. Hilarious that it's the same group of contemptables who bleated on incessantly about needing to protect British legal sovereignty during the Brexit debates. First chance to stand up for that and they're on the other side!

Today you may be safe but eventually they will come for you. I can hear the echoes of fascist boots as the move onward crushing everything and everyone in their path. Soon they will be unstoppable because you were deluded into complacency and failed to act!

Stuff I'm seeing is that the MAGA line is that Dems are "forcing" US to hold onto "lousy" Obamacare, and so blocking the introduction of magnificent TrumpCares. You know, the one that no one has ANY details of. And if you believe that pile of BS, there's a nice bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you.
