Thank you to Mike F Shaw. Electoral fraud? Gerrymandering? Voter intimidation? Postal ballots? How much more transparent does it have to be, for them to see that Reform LTD is literally getting its talking points from the USA. Gerrymandering isn’t a thing in the UK for crying out loud!

What is a shock is Nigel apparently being a sleeper agent for the War on Christmas given he wants to ban public carol singing?! Plus Whit Walks, pilgrimages, outdoor Good Friday Passions & Remembrance services too? He (+Kemi) never think this tosh through www.express.co.uk/news/politic...
Text from article in the Daily Express quoting Nigel Farage saying all mass religious observances should be banned. Text reads:

“Reform UK leader Mr Farage echoed his comments, saying the event - attended by London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan - was an "attempt to overtake, intimidate and dominate our way of life". Asked at his party's Scottish conference yesterday if he backs the banning of all mass religious observances, Mr Farage said: "Yes." “Online readership poll in the Daily Express asking whether all mass religious observances should be banned in the UK

Results so far are:
Yes 92%
No 7%
Don’t know 1%

Yes, Kemi, it's woke and divisive to celebrate our nations wildlife.... She would disagree with herself in an empty room just because, I swear.

Our nation is again at war, not because we had to but because the president recklessly chose to. Now we must recognize who pays the price: not the president and his wealthy allies, but service members and ordinary Americans.

These are the same papers that castigated Blair for following Bush into Iraq, yet now turn on Starmer for not doing likewise for Dementia Don. Fucking hypocrites.

This is important. Reform keep taking positions that are only supported by the 25% of the electorate they already have and in doing so are negatively polarising everyone else against them.

It's a sad day today. My Dad passed away yesterday evening. He was desperate to make his 95th birthday, but fell just 4 days short. He is at peace now and re-united with Mum, his beloved wife of over 60 years marriage. God rest the pair of you!

I know it's not much of a #waterfall, but I do like this picture taken at the Fairy Pools on Skye. We had hoped to swim in one of the pools, but too many people about for us to strip off... ☺️

A rarity for me, being the other side of the camera for once. This was taken on our trip to Scotland, at the Fairy Pools on Skye. Little One was just desperate to get in the water!!!

Ah, the joys of caring for an #autistic child with #ADHD and no understanding of the time of day! I just love getting up at 3am and listen to him play Shaun the Sheep, on a loop, on his tablet. At least he is happy - oh! and my wife, as she has gone back to sleep 😄
