Trump has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, and while his kids "negotiate" a Ukrainian peace deal, he's paying Putin to breach sanctions. Hegseth is live-streaming an execution by firing squad, and gave the UFC a binding contract to train the US military in hand to hand combat.

Trump, September 2025: Europe must stop buying Russian oil that is funding the war against Ukraine! Trump, October 2026: We're going to buy 300k tons of Russian diesel even though we export ~200k tons a day of it. Why? Reasons. I want to thank President Putin! WTAF 🤯

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

MAGA, accepting Trump's excuses that everything is Biden's fault, means you're also accepting that Trump is incapable of improving anything. You do realize that, right? 🤣

The state pension is not a benefit, the deal was we paid National Insurance to cover our State Pension and the NHS and because successive governments have squandered our National Insurance contributions elsewhere they are now trying to claim it’s a benefit in kind, absolute bollocks.

It would be very poweful if the King (clue is the R in RNLI) and the PM issued a joint statement condemning Farage and everyone else who has been targeting the RNLI and asylum seekers. The media isn't going to do it for them, it is time to speak up.

While rightwing media nods approvingly at the prejudiced outcry in Piddington, a RNLI station has to close because of white British thuggery and threats. This is where the constantly toxic obsession with immigration leads. To racist, flag-wielding vigilantism that ruins this country for everyone.

The intention is to influence the government. They've shut down a branch of a Royal National Institution and they are intimidating members of the public. Their aim is an ideological one. Under the Terrorism Act 2000, this clearly constitutes terrorism.Time for the government to treat it as such.

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

I'm old enough to remember Farage saying "raising huge money has not been easy" and Reform was a grassroots movement that depended entirely on small donations. And only now have I clicked that this "appeal" was May 2024 - six weeks AFTER he got his £5m quid "unconditional gift". Man of the Paypal.
