Well, if it’s 30 September, it must be... oh God. The 36th anniversary of the first—and, you may not be entirely surprised to hear—only transmission of a sitcom which was genuinely called ‘Heil Honey, I’m Home’, in which Hitler and Eva Braun live next door to Jewish couple Arny and Rosa Goldenstein

OTD in 2015 Russia began bombing Syria. -we denied we'd do it -we then did it -we bombed lots of hospitals, shopping centers & schools to create refugees -we said it would be WW3 if NATO got involved -when NATO helped throw us out, we just ran away Sound familiar?

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

I believe that a lot of the anger in the US population is rooted in these two charts. How and where this anger is channelled to determines the future of the nation. Different groups offer different solutions, different paths. What solution will win out in the long-run is still undecided.

Luxury retailers want taxpayers to fund a 20% tax break for foreign tourists. They paid consultancy Cebr to claim this will raise £2.6bn for the UK. That convinced Sadiq Khan and Kemi Badenoch. But it's false: a free lunch. Four basic errors mask a £600m loss. Thread:

Quick look at the Twitter timeline which is mainly either racists saying that it’s obvious the RAF terror suspects are THE MUZZIES who came across via dinghy yesterday, or a different type of racists who say this is a Mossad false flag.

The Daily Telegraph, with its finger on the pulse of the nation, thinks that people taking a packed lunch to work is “pathetic” and a sign of societal collapse; and also thinks that said packed lunch includes sprouts.

Daily Telegraph: MICHAEL DEACON
This pathetic office trend is a damning symbol of Britain's decline.

Picture shows three food containers in a fridge, seemingly representing an office packed lunch. They contain roast potatoes, carrots and sprouts. They’re insane, aren’t they?

What on earth is happening?

This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.

I guess people just don't believe that you get £72m from 2 foreign based crypto-billionaires for nothing. Interestingly, the naked sleazy greed of Reform has been exposed by donations that are way too excessive to avoid suspicion. "Eyes bigger than their bellies", my old mum would have said.

His original post. There should be consequences for a councillor sharing potentially harmful disinformation like this.

Cllr Kieran Mishchuk is at Milton Regis
14 hours ago Sittingbourne
I've just been sent a video showing 2 buses full of migrants parked in Asda car park, Milton Regis,
today.
These are the kinds of scenes you see from up and down the country. They are being ferried
around destination unknown, and now they're here in our town.
This isn't the first time this has happened. I've seen buses full in Morrisons car park before as well.
It is all incredibly suspicious,
The state is funding an invasion and ferrying them around to all corners of the country.
