Dont worry Rodent, AFAIK the spy flights from RAF Akrotiri are still being used to track Gazan individuals to be murdered along with any number of family and bystanders . Maybe we could tell the Telegraph that all is not lost ? /s of course ...

It seems that the Tories under Badenoch do not want better food standards or give hope and opportunity to the younger generation, vowing to reverse any improvement on the deal with the EU. The Tories are sounding more like Reform every day. #NeverVoteTory

That’s your choice, but dismissing something as “AI slop” says nothing about whether the argument itself is right or wrong. The AI section is simply a production tool I’m using to add my own commentary; the views and words are mine.

Either the UK government is: 1. Scared to confront the far-right; or 2. In agreement with the far-right. I don’t think it’s 2. I think they are absolutely terrified to do what they know is right because they believe we’re all racists. It is utterly shameful.

Restore Britain's Cllr Kieran Mishchuk of Sittingbourne, Sheppey is so determined to see "men on boats" everywhere that he mistook 2 minibuses full of agricultural labourers in an Asda capark for "illegal immigrants"
Last night, I made a post about 2 buses full of
foreign men & women parked in Asda. I have
been reliably informed that these buses are
agricultural workers.


hold my hands up for this genuine mistake
and accusation that wasn't fair. However, I
still don't understand why we need imported
foreign labour when we have plenty of people
from my generation who are unemployed and
would like a job

Not to be pedantic but Christopher Harborne has already given £25 million to Reform and Ben Delo £8 million. So the figure isn’t £72 million - it’s £105 million.

If Harbourne and Delo wanted to change society for the better, then their combined £72 million could have been given to cancer research, to buy hospital equipment, fund libraries, indeed, anything philanthropic but they chose to fund a dangerous ,vulgar and racist political company. F*ckers.
