A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, billionnaires built libraries, theatres, schools, hospitals; now they invest their money in political parties that will allow them to make even more billions, and allow them to build a Death Star.🙄 #Reform #reformuk #politics #dontfallfortheirbullshit

I've just signed my own executive order to rename The Donalds in Scotland to The Scottish Mountains; and a second executive or order to remame Trump Street in London to American Sociopath Street. Easy as that.🙂

Climate change deniers, debunking the science behind climate change, finally accepting it exists, have a new strategy, debunk the science behind how it can be reversed. My house is on fire, ah well, I may as well enjoy the heat. What the fuck is wrong with these people?🙄

This new King Gizzard & The Lizzard Wizzard album is demented, it's like they've been assimilated by The Borg. Not sure what the rock purists will make of it though, it's full on techno.🙂 #kinggizzard #kglw #nowplaying #musicsky #nowspinning

Middle of August, the World Cup ended 3 weeks ago, and we have reached peak sporting indifference with ITV1 showing a pre-season friendly between Man Utd and Leeds; meanwhile another major international sporting event is happening in Birmingham, and nobody is watching. Football, give it a rest.🙄

The final line in Christopher Nolan's epic telling of The Odyssey is: “A new dawn will break over the darkened world, when our mistakes will once again be forgotten.” Is this a powerful conclusion of man's inability to learn from his mistakes, or a clunky piece of spoon-fed shite? #theodyssey

Donald Trump imposing more tarrifs on trading partners, citing forced labour, when some of those partners have got the most stringent labour laws in the world (mainly the UK and EU) is the action of a deranged lunatic. Is there nothing the American people can do to rid the world of this plank?🙄

I'm a northerner, and proud of it - grounded, unpretentious, self-deprecating, good sense of humour. British satirists need to up their game with what they're writing in the wake of Andy Burnham becoming Prime Minister though, because what they're coming up with currently is lazy and patronising.🙄

Terrible news. Growing up in the 70s and 80s, Keegan was a colossus, despite his short stature, the Beckham of his day. Nobody lives forever, but deep in the imagination you believe some people will. Rest in peace Kevin Keegan.😢 #Kevinkeegan

UK prime ministers leaving office prematurely is a well oiled process these days, it happens so often, it's like a Big Brother eviction. The latest, Sir Kier Starmer handing over power to Andy Burnham, The King In The North, the next victim of our seemingly ungovernable country.🙄

Idiots calling for Thomas Tucal's sacking after England's World Cup exit need to look at it this way. Played 8, won 6, drew 1, lost 1, scored 20, conceded 12, finished third. Out of a tournament featuring 48 teams, that a good outcome and needs to be built on.🙂 #england #football #worldcup

I've been following England play football in international tournaments for 46 years, and it always ends in bitter disappointment. I've been a bit indifferent this time then, until now, when I'm feeling something new, which I'm calling crushing optimism. Like crushing doubt, but much worse.🙄

Imagine Farage's "the people against the establishment" by-election stunt turns out to be a contest between him and Count Binface, with Binface winning the seat. Please world, make this happen.🤣

Why is everybody dribbling and drooling over the return of Serena at Wimbledon? OK, she's an icon, I get that, but she's had her time and won everything, move on and let new icons come through. It's the tennis equivalent of everybody going gooey over a new Rolling Stones album. Move on.🙄

Brits doing well at Wimbledon today. 7 matches, 7 losses, plus Raducanu and Draper out due to injury. 9 players out with only 7 games played, a loss ratio of 128%. Remarkable achievement.😄
