It appears that Nigel Farage has lied about being advised by Essex Police not to attend the by-election declaration so as to avoid being photographed with Count Binface, his major opponent. So it would be a pity if this composite photo was widely shared and used in future….

This result of Dr. Maria Hungria's research is the prevention of 230 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year coupled with a simultaneous reduction in dependence on fertilizers. Good news brought to you by science an amazing woman and her research team.

Viz Comic @vizcomic.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
There's a new Viz in the shops (issue 358). Sorry no refunds.
The cover of the new issue (Viz 358 - in the shops now. Hurry, hurry, hurry while stocks last), and a letter that reads as follows: "I see Professor Brian Cox is at it again, boasting about how his Large Hadron Collider at Cern accelerates particles to 9.9999% the speed of light. Well when I turn my torch on, the light comes out the end at 100% the speed of light, and I didn't need several billion quid to do it. In fact it cost a quid from Poundland. So he can stick that in his pipe and smoke it. Gary Ireland, Tauranga."

Amnesty is a globally respected human rights charity that once won a Nobel Peace Prize and campaigns against, among other things, torture, the death penalty and unfair trials, yet on exposing the GC movement’s anti-rights approach to trans people, suddenly they’re making it up and not to be trusted.

This is why I'm worried about the extreme change in the #climate in #Austria. The graph shows the average number of days per year when it reaches 30°C or more. And it has shot up hugely since the 1990s. #climatechange #Klimawandel #Österreich #Hitzewelle #Heatwave Source: orf.at/stories/3433...
