Spoken about some classics I have heard at work . Here’s another re one of the NATO gatherings . They are doing this to stop the civil war we will have because Brexit has been too slow .

Yes . Got to say it’s thankfully unique amongst places I have worked but it’s quite full on . One girl crying when Theresa May was trying to very slightly mitigate Brexit 😂 Her line manager comforting her saying we all voted Brexit and me the hated remainer having to bite my tongue (again )

I will read the article but it feels like I live the opposite reality here . Not many English retirees in the destroyed ex industrial zones but many problematic families moved here for cheaper rents

Yes , I did post though not sure it went in the right place that Plaid voting , Welsh speaking areas are different . But I am in a pretty xenophobic English speaking work place . Even watching people mime a spit on the ground because a local councillor was Muslim ..

Surrounded by Welsh people overwhelmingly in favour of Farage . Been advised he’s one of us . To watch Tommy Robinson videos . To call the police if I see a lone black man with a child outside of school hours . Watched people back a man who painted a Swastika on his roof as it is only anti Muslims..

I work in a part of South Wales in an office which overwhelmingly voted leave . Farage , Reform , Johnson and Tommy Robinson are popular and as a dirty remainer I normally have to keep quiet .

Just take a look around you and see all the “Brexit benefits” we’ve been bestowed with. This country has flatlined since Brexit with no sign of resuscitation. Those responsible should be in prison for the damage caused to so many

Three billionaires donated $220 million to Donald Trump between July and September. Read that back. Three people. $200 million. In just three months. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Hello Bluesky 👋 I received *hundreds* of angry, hate-filled posts on X while covering Hurricane Milton — especially after I made the climate connection 🥴 So I’m ready for somewhere new & hopefully more constructive 💚 x.com/chasecainnbc...

Must admit, when this came out, I read the foreword, thought “person who has never worked in a big business at a senior level has some rather silly thoughts about HR, don’t need to read this as she’s going out”, and WOW there is a lot of crackers stuff in here.

Lying incompetent Johnson tries to blame everything on Cameron in his book. The truth is the whole Tory party and every single self serving Tory MP is responsible for flushing the country down the drain. They are a national disaster.

Tyrone McAlpin, a deaf man with cerebral palsy, is facing charges after *he* was punched and tasered by Phoenix police officers The officers acted on the claims of a white man who falsely said he was assaulted by a Black man and pointed to McAlpin

Phoenix officers repeatedly punch, Taser deaf Black man with cerebral palsy
The violent and rapid arrest of Tyron McAlpin raises serious questions and could serve as a test case for Phoenix PD and the DOJ as the two battle over whether the department needs federal oversight.

Brexit was the brainchild of tax-shy disaster capitalists who wished to control a major financial centre to engineer more profit by insider dealing via direct government intervention.....like the Truss/Kwarteng budget where billions were shorted from our pensions. Time to #Rejoin
