September 28, 1963: "New Phil Silvers Show" debuts on CBS. It centers around a factory foreman who is always involved in get-rich-quick schemes.

Just catching up on Channel 4’s investigation into Reform’s finances - I am both shocked and supremely unsurprised that they effectively commissioned their own polling. I always suspected Reform might be inflating their own popularity to justify dominating media and to gaslight the population.

The Des O'Connor Show (1st August 1970). One of those items where you imagine that the rehearsal time was fairly short.

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.
Map showing the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa.Screengrab from Politico piece that explains, citing Reuters, that 48,300 of the 50,000 recent crossings have already been expelled or voluntarily returned to Morocco.BBC report on Friday, still echoing the RW disinformation - or at the very least not challengning it sufficiently.

Spain's prime minister has blamed trafficking gangs after about 60,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco. At least 57 people died during the surge, according to local media."Daily Mail and Daily Express from this weekend, with front page headlines "Ministers MUST stop the Spanish border invaders reaching UK" and "SPANISH BORDER CRISIS IS 'WAKE-UP CALL' FOR UK", respectively.

The Chancellor has the power to stop Farage's cynical ploy. I've written to her this morning urging her to act. Farage should not be allowed to resign until the investigation into his dodgy dealings has concluded. The people of Clacton deserve the facts first.

None of these tax dodging, foreign-based crypto billionaires and moneymen give a single shit about our country or democracy. They’re buying Farage power so he’ll remove our rights and protections to maximise their profits. It really is that simple and that corrupt. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Not that further proof was needed, this alone is enough to cancel the official Royal visit. I'm no royalist but putting the King in the impossible position of representing the UK to this monster will go down in history as utterly shameful.

All the emails going in to #COYS, reminds me of my grandfather who in the 1960's wrote to the Chairman of West Ham expressing his displeasure at the results of then manager, Ron Greenwood. His ST had probably gone up by a £1! He got a polite, handwritten reply from the Chairman, but nothing changed!

Farage caught in another lie. A big one, despite being years ago, because it demolishes his "Origin Story" as a plucky anti-establishment figure. He's none of those things truly or by choice. That's why he delights at the reversal of Tories being under his control now. youtube.com/shorts/laVQX...

Radcliffe should remember we immigrants and children of immigrants are here because of British colonisation and make a huge contribution. He moved to Monaco to avoid £4bn tax. His club Man U owes everything to migrant players and migrant supporters. He’s an embarrassment to the club and game.

Andrea Jenkyns can't answer why she supports a convicted sexual offender, so she doesn't bother trying. Reform doesn't care about sexual predators and perverts as long as they have money, they make a fortune out of Musks platform.
