NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 3hDon’t forget that two Witney MPs fucked over the Tories (Shaun Woodward and David Cameron) 120
Reposted by NGGeneral Boles @generalboles.bsky.social · 3hSomething about Witney MPs fucking over the Lib Dems. Fine it's only two but still......bbc.co.ukLib Dem MP quits frontbench job over Ed Davey's leadershipDeputy party leader Daisy Cooper says "the vast majority of our MPs support Ed... and are furious at this distraction." 3121
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 3hThe reason Keir Starmer resigned, selfishly IMO, is that Keir Starmer didn’t want to be an MP. 110
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 3hDidn’t they ban How To Kill A Mockingbird in some schools because it was “upsetting”? 000
Reposted by NGSathnam Sanghera @sathnam.bsky.social · 6hDear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played 693376766
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 4hWhat gets me is a few years ago they were saying that many trans kids were actually autistic 110
Reposted by NGDaniel Sugarman @danielsugarman.bsky.social · 9hThe contrast with the UK - where for all our many faults, a politician who originally came here as a child refugee from Somalia was just elected to a seat in Parliament last night - is striking. 15814
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 8hI never thought such a bland politician as Robert “Generic” would cause me to have such a strong reaction. 000
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 9hI’m not sure but I think the headwinds will push him towards more overt racism. He’s not fully in control 100
Reposted by NGSunder Katwala (sundersays) @sundersays.bsky.social · 9hJenrick's "millions and millions" rhetoric would mean that *most* naturalised citizens (> 2/3) do not in his eyes meet a British identity, cultural integration test. He thinks their [fixed] non-white Eng ethnicity makes that worse Its of a piece with Rupert Lowe's "millions must go" for Restore. 2144
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 9hYeah I think Denyer and Lucas think hard about the issues while Polanski is more of a “vibes” guy. 100
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 9hI also think they’re scared of losing votes to Restore. “A piece of paper doesn’t make you British” is literally what Rupert Lowe has been saying. 100
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 9hIt’s cooled down a bit but I remember thinking a few days ago that this was the sort of weather you’d get if you went to Spain in October 010
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 10h“They’re not *really* British” is the sort of thing you’d say if you were going to denaturalise and deport people and the way he’s going I wouldn’t put it past him 0111
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 11hReasons I don’t think the execution of Nidal Hasan will be live-streamed. 1. 8th Amendment. Surely turning someone’s death into a public spectacle and entertainment would be “cruel and unusual”. 2. Would online platforms and ISPs allow it? Less confident of 2. given how supine they’ve been. 011
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 23hStill (probably) another two years of Trump to go. We’re now at the stage of public lynchings of brown Muslims. How much worse can this get. 130
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 23hBut not a police and crime commissioner election. Also soon to be RIP I believe 010
Reposted by NGJohn Cotter @drjohncotter.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I have to constantly remind myself “not all (US) Americans”, but, by God, do the rest of us have every right to be mad as hell at the idiots across the Atlantic who thought they had the privilege of imposing this insanity on all of us. Every fucking day. 1124
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I don’t think the fact that the condemned is a Muslim can be overlooked. Public lynching. 010
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Presumably would cross the threshold into criminality here in the UK 141
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Sure but I don’t feel qualified to comment on that. I can only speak for the law in my country 130
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I know the First Amendment gives people about of latitude but I reckon over here in the U.K., this would result in jail time. 4221
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Which is why I’ve often thought those signs that say, “we keep an eye on our competitors prices” seem more like a threat to the competitors. 000
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026One thing I’ve often wondered is whether price comparison, instead of promoting competition, encourages cartel like behaviour. If I lower my prices and it’s well publicised, will my competitor retaliate? Maybe I should keep them high and hope my competitor does the same. 100
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I know that professionals have Article 10 rights but there’s something disturbing about a doctor appearing to endorse the execution of a 24 year old for…words. 220
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I know I’m a hypocrite as I don’t really drink cask ales but this feels sad. Those wooden pumps are so elegant. But also, politicians need them for the pulling pints photo opportunity. 000

NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’m in my fourties and I’m genuinely thinking this might not now be sorted when and if I ever end up needing social care 300
NG @ng1978.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’m not clear what the consequences are in cases like this? Compensation? For what exactly? Breach of his privacy? Or is it just embarrassment for the police? 130
