The older I get, the more I regret all the people I've lost over the years.
Maybe being a trail guide wasn't such a great idea after all.

What did they expect would happen when the regime is ruled by a lawless, convicted felon who dishonors our military? Many of the generals have not honored their oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

It really is that simple. Farage can huff and puff all he likes but he’s the racist rotten fish head.

On the birthday of Margaret Thatcher, let us take a moment to remember what a cruel, heartless piece of shit she was.

Margaret Thatcher called bin Laden a 'freedom fighter', Mandela a 'terrorist', Pinochet a 'good friend' and trade unions 'the enemy within'. And Jimmy Savile 'Sir'.

“Tariffs are a favoured diplomatic tool of President Trump and Reform could face significant legal challenges if it follows suit” (page2) Farage is a desperate, vindictive bullshitter who only appeals to racists with no idea how the world and trade and law actually work. Cos that’s a bit hard.
Farage's tariff plan on migrants

Reform UK would impose tariffs on countries that refuse to accept the return of migrants, under plans expected to be announced this week.

Nigel Farage will outline new policies, including levies on goods and services, that would force countries to agree to deportations.

The party also proposes banning their airlines from British airspace.

The escalation of Reform’s hardline deportations policy comes as the Conservatives embrace a new political strategy designed to recapture voters with a focus on the economy.

Some 20,900 people have crossed the Channel in small boats this year, down about 40 per cent on the same period in 2025, according to official figures. Since 2018, more than 211,000 have made the crossing, of whom about 9,700 had been returned by June.

Reform intends to impose visa bans for people who legally want to visit the UK from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea, Sudan and Somalia until the countries agree to take back illegal migrants and foreign criminals, under plans announced in February. The list includes several of the countries with the largest numbers of asylum seekers in the UK in recent years.

Someone has very kindly posted a quote of mine from Notorious on Facebook... to lots of 👍 SO here it is with a reminder that the ebook is currently a very reasonable 99p on all your favourite ebook platforms.
'Throughout history, societies have sought
out scapegoats upon whom all the troubles
of the world can be blamed. Switch on your
TV, scroll down your social media, turn on
your radio and you will find them soon
enough.


They come at us as 'fighting-age men on
boats' who claim to be fleeing wars but who
are really coming to fleece the taxpayer and
steal our jobs and women. They are the
minorities you are encouraged to fear and
loathe, whether they be black, South Asian,
Chinese, Palestinian, Jewish, Muslim, gay,
poor or Mexican. These are the monsters
who will displace you, kill you, brainwash your
children or enslave us all with their wicked
ideology. They are the mendacious, feckless
underclass, the commie trade unionists, the
wokerati, the illuminati, the transgender
monsters and of course, the poor. Depending
on your perspective they are either the 'eco
warriors' or the 'environmental terrorists
They are the left, the right, they are centrist
dads and all the cracks in between


And if we can just defeat these latter-day
witches and demons, then all will be wel

She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

Brexit is forever tainted with disinformation, foreign interference, murky vested interests, ugly prejudice, unforgivable costs and now deep unpopularity. If you really cared about our country and wanted to fix its problems, you’d admit this… Good that Burnham is finally doing so…

As well as a Britannia Magic Dome, Tories will build a Halo Array, a Stargate, a Dark Tower, and a Death Star - named respectively Spirit of the Blitz, Maggie's Opening, Boris-Dûr, and Churchill's Clacker - funded by sales of a new wellness smoothie made with carrot, ginger, and poor people's tears.
