Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 09/09/2026You and Bernie as the Brain Trust of the Democratic Party, Jon Stewart and Pete Buttigieg as the face of the party. That's my USA political dream team, but I'm British so take my comments with due caution. 201
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Unless I am very much mistaken @studiousbadger.bsky.social some people have misunderstood the humour in your comment. I think your mention of guns triggered their automatic reply to a perceived American, aka threat.bsky.app 150
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I am so sorry. Trump has played the Constitution, Senate, Congress, Judiciary, the American People and so far, he's winning. Think the whole checks & balances thing needs a rewrite. 010
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 15/05/2026They know. They just don't care if anyone points out their lie. Plus, they know that MAGA supporters are to dumb to understand and Republican politicians are too chicken to do anything about it. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026I am not wild about Starmer and I mean that in the best possible sense. He isn't flashy, he isn't a powerhouse of charisma that wins everyone over just by engaging with them. He's doing a tough job and, as you say, hard to see anyone do much better. Well said. 160
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026#1 "What do you call people who mock?" Comics, comedians, impressionists. Those are 3 at the top of my head. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026#2 Am I right in positing you haven't experienced discrimination or xenophobia by Leavers? If not, you really should try it. Quite an eye opener. Don't fret for me. I am used to it and am perfectly capable of defending myself. Verbally. Verbally, Reformers are no challenge. Because reasons. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026How do we combat the following example of BS? What do we call people who believe council elections are the same as General Elections if not 'stupid'? Do we treat everyone as an unfortunate citizen that deserves help or do we consider social media posts as THE MEDIA & potentially foreign actors? 100
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026#2 'from their point of view' Okay. Frequent problem with interviewing Reform voters is when you do hear about things from their point of view, you either quickly confirm they don't understand what Reform is proposing or so great is the cognitive dissonance that it very quickly becomes an argument 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Oh, from you.That wasn't clear. Understood. Almost every single Brexit voter, given enough rope, will show themselves to be vulnerable by some measure or other. Unable to follow a logical argument, unable to avoid contradicting themselves within a couple of sentences, etc. Ripe for exploitation. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026#2 voting for one's interests is what voting allows one to do in its purest form. But seeing the non-wealthy voting against their interests... damn if it isn't doesn't deserve being called out for what it is. Otherwise, I'd be lying to them and that is Reform's job. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026You cited it to counter my argument! Let's put it down to forgetting the original thrust of the post. Fine. Move on to your point. I consider the rich Brexit voter to be selfish and interested in exploiting others. Twas ever thus, barring some laudable exceptions. They're a tiny portion of 52%. 100
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026x.com/reformexposed This is a useful tracker. Names are in various posts but here is the latest list. x.com/i/status/205... 020
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026This top post? The one that ends with showing Reform voters who they'll be voting with? I mean, it criticises the media but it also mocks those who would fall into the gullible or low information category. At the very least it suggests using those people as examples to deter new Reform voters. 100
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 11/05/2026IMHO the whole system is almost beyond repair: print and client journalism is skewed by funding from foreign & nefarious sources, social media is a conduit for foreign actors, lack of critical thinking means BS works, austerity devastated many and they're rightly angry. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 10/05/2026One can generally anticipate the current Conservative Party's next moves by considering what would be the nastiest or most braggadocious things to do. You do have a particular knack for this though. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Low information voters. You're talking about low information voters! If the lies/toxic opinions are told with authority, and a posh voice but aren't challenged then many will presume they are legitimate. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 10/05/2026In the old days, village idiots were kept in check by the villagers. Now these idiots consume lie after misinformation after delusion and we're expected to respect their opinions. To their credit, they've learned to avoid many interactions that would expose them to ridicule on the public stage. 100
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I admire your faith in humans. I don't share it. The 'right kind of information' is competing against groundless lies, false promises, and easy solutions with no need to deliver. Unless something is done to prevent these lies from spreading or we inoculate people from believing the BS, we fail. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I would normally agree. However, they've made this mistake twice. They now voted for Brexit, which has been bad. They've voted for the guy who misled them into voting for Brexit. At this point I'm over the 'contempt for conmen, compassion for the conned" 100
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 09/05/2026The Reform secret sauce: 1) act like you're the common man, despite being a private school educated stock broker 2) deny deny deny any transgressions 3) avoid directly racist language. Euphemisms are your friend. 4) the baddies are anyone but the rich. The EU and migrants are to blame. 5) lie 110
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Showing them? How can you show people who cannot reason? Farage didn't show them how being in the EU was bad for them, nor that migrants were harming the economy. Farage lied to them and played on their prejudice. We have to improve the economy and prevent harm from nefarious foreign actors. 130
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 08/05/2026There is a simple reason for this. The key word is 'simple'. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Currently, that looks about right. Historically worse decisions have been made on the continent. But we're plucky, and are catching up. 010
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 29/04/2026So much of King Charles' life has been spent waiting in the wings, and it's not been time wasted. QEII was a hard, almost an impossible act to follow. Got to hand it to him, he played the card he was dealt with aplomb. Kudos to Starmer too for the decision to push for the visit. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 29/04/2026And their previous stances on Brexit, Truss' proposed budget and the UK's participation in America's war with Iran. Just so we know how much faith to put into their pronouncements. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 23/04/2026When you accept this as valid maths, you're telling the world that you're as thick as mince or that you are willing to debase yourself and lie to the world about anything. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 13/04/2026goodlawproject.org/orbans-pay-c... Any chance we can justify labelling Matt Goodwin's or Nathan Gill's actions as Treason (aka High Treason)? Or do we have to formally declare Hungary/Russia as enemy states and Orban as a Russian asset/agent? Personally, I think they're modern day Lord Haw-Haws.goodlawproject.orgOrbán’s pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oilThe Reform candidate at this month’s byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor Orbán’s far-right propaganda unit? 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Because Orban's recent outspoken support for LTBG rights was deafening. 😉 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 13/04/2026You're very kind. When your words aren't lauded at home, cast pearls in our direction. Nowt wrong with a bit of flounce. This isn't TikTok. 🤣 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 13/04/2026You have a beautiful way with words. Hope you don't mind if I borrow this from time to time. Is this your own or did you appropriate it from elsewhere. I'd like to give credit where credit is due. 🙂 100
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 06/04/2026I was asking a similar question after Jan 6th a few years back, and thinking along similar lines. What can I say? Americans have a can do attitude. Don't be surprised if Trump rides this out to acclaim from MAGA and the Republican Party. 010
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 05/04/2026We will miss you if the split happens, but I get you. Sorry some of us are THAT stupid, gullible and/or xenophobic. 010
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Taste and self respect exemplified by an American of Spanish speaking origins!!!! ¡Toma ya! I do this too (or don't do it depending on your perspective) but with old country accents. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 04/04/2026Block such media and find if MPs are taking money from the dark side. 010
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 29/03/2026¡Pues, claro que sí! Y si ese mequetrefe osa decir algo inapropiado sobre el poder hablar otros idiomas... well we'll just have to disabuse him of the notion that it in any way impedes or limits us! That was Spanish. Ensuite on peut l'envoyer se faire mettre dans une troisième langue. French. 010
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Yes. Cue Alanis Morrisette...media.tenor.comAlanis Morissette And Isnt It Ironic Dont You Think GIFALT: Alanis Morissette And Isnt It Ironic Dont You Think GIF 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 06/03/2026There's something wrong with his intelligence. No, I did not forget to capitalise the I. His supporters are dumber so it still works for him. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 21/02/2026I'm sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. 010
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 17/02/2026I am merely enquiring because I'd like to know what information you have to make that statement. 000
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Got any theories regarding anyone whose presence on radio or TV was curtailed by His or Her (Lizzo) Majesty? I am dying to read them or do you suggest I do my own research? 100
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Speaks volumes that his appearances on The Apprenticeship overshadowed decades of poor behaviour, awful business practices, and business failures. To make him President, with all that history was a genuine surprise. To make him President after the attack Capitol was criminally insane. 0100
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 17/02/2026'Worn out his welcome' 'Mad as a hatter' 'a wrong'un ' 'a wannabe xxxxxx' replace xxxxxxx with a fascist dictator or despotic king/emporer of your choosing. 010
Jules @julesmcc.bsky.social · 17/02/2026It took a war to get rid of the USA's previous king. Let's hope this one vacates the throne more graciously if he is voted out, but Trump's record in 'peaceful transition' is not good, and the signs are that he is willing to engineer changes to make the next Presidential Election 'interesting'! 200
