This is not a reason to vote Republican. Apparently Miller is convinced it is. But then he's convinced of a lot of crap. Making up for other areas of his life in which is he is badly inadequate, as opposed to the rest of him which is moderately

It's getting way too close to the time when they are removed and put on trial. For Simon Andriesz and the others. These sick f*cks need the maximum penalities allowable by law, and their enablers need to be jailed.

Bewilders me. In all parties but especially on the right, they have all been to University. They all - or most of them - have degrees. By their measure, they are smart people. But you listen to some of them and wonder how they are let out alone. Some are confused putting trousers on. Thick as mince.

Badenoch : "If you are a multi-millionaire or better, we will cossett you and cuddle you. We will plump your pillows and aid you in your quest to crush and exploit those filthy working class scum we mutually despise" She won't actually say that. But it would be good if she 'fessed up to it.

While I can see how some people could feel uncomfortable in the current climate, the story on the radio of the guy with the luggage doesn't work in practice. He's sat on a train, with his wife next to him, and he covers the motif on his luggage. That doesn't work. Sorry, no sale.

Years ago, someone gave me some tickets to go and see Jackie Mason. I'd only seen him in a couple of films, but man, it was one of the best gigs I have ever been to. And he was so nice, as well. I miss seeing people like him. Knew his stuff, had his act polished and just was a plain nice person.

Sometimes a guy will step over the cliff, no matter how much you try and stop them. They say knowledge is power, in which case J.D Vance is a 2 year old AA Battery with a leaky bottom. Like his boss.

Is it just me or is music these days - the stuff on the radio, mostly - a load of old crap? Is it an age thing?

I am sick of opening my messages and all it is is people asking if I use Zangi, Telegram or whatsapp. At least I can block that on here. And I don't want to be on your Only Fans channel, either in front of or behind the camera. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Amazing really. People rubbernecking about Fairford, Farage lying his arse off. Police say all they can Nutcases say "We don't believe it! Cover up!" Police say nothing Nutcase chant "What are they hiding? Gover up!" You cannot win with stupid. Don't even attempt it. Waste of time.

Always entertaining when you dismantle someones' arguments, present the facts which invalidate their view, and they nod and say 'oh yeah' as if thinking about it and then the next thing out of their piehole is exactly the same thing you just corrected.

Why do we actually need Data Centres? "Oh, it's for banking" we have that. "It's for health records" We have that. "It's critical to national security" No, it's a critical THREAT to national security. No one has said what these things are actually for.

I like they way the UK has full access to news services abroad to 'protect children'. Freakin' censorship so the public don't realise the nation has been run by f*ckwits for the last fifty years.

We fall for the same schtick every time, and it's so tiring. It's like we never learn. When a rich person, who the system created by the rich owes their wealth to the system says they will make ordinary lives better... we have to stop swallowing this crap. It's literally killing us.

I am sorry, people knew what this creature was like. They knew his record. They knew what a spineless, cowardly, sick f*ck he is. And they still voted for him. I feel sorry for those carried along who knew better. But those who put him in power, and esp those who still believe; suck it up.

You know how under a new administration people say "God, remember how good it was?" How bad will a President have to be for people of the future to say "I miss Donald" "I didn't used to like Trump, but since President Bollard came in and started tearing out my fingernails, he wasn't so bad"

Sometimes you'll be talking to someone, and the conversation is going well and they seem okay and then... then they ruin it with the 'bloody foreigners' comment which comes out of nowhere. An otherwise reasonable person. But... I can't be doing with that.
