The President of the United States inviting Iran to "take out" two major American cities should receive as much coverage as a President of the United States having a bad debate.

JUSTICE @justicehq.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
But pushing 1000s of cases into already-creaking magistrates’ courts, where there are no juries, will not fix our backlog, or speed things up. It’s time to focus on genuine solutions to delays, like maximising sitting days, fixing crumbling courts, & preventing offending at the outset. (2/2)

Why do people continue voting for Republicans? I get it if you’re a white collar criminal, part of the Epstein Class and/or Billionaire, religious bigot, in the cult, or an uneducated racist. Working class citizens, gullible enough to believe their constant gaslighting, are big fools. #Pinks

Monotheism The religious pluralism of the ancient world was gradually supplanted by the homogenising dogma of Christianity & later Islam, dividing us into believers & infidels. How much more tolerant, intellectually open society might have been had monotheism never emerged & so zealously promoted!

Some butterflies from previous summers - there were practically none this year as it was often too hot for them and in any case many flowering plants on which they depend died in the heat and drought

Well I am surprised! I have just moved to Winchester and, if ever there was a town that I thought would true blue tory it's this one. Not so! It's actually yellow, that is to say Lib-Dem. The council is overwhelmingly Lib-Dem dominated and the town's MP is a Lib-Dem too!

The USA is a shithole! This woman committed a crime at age 18 & she is now 50. To keep someone in prison with a death sentence hanging over them is barbarism beyond belief! The UK had the doctrine of 4 Sundays - the convicted (wo)man would be hanged before the fourth Sunday following their sentence

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

The decline of the high street is a trend in many western countries. However, in the UK, many people forget a factor that has a disproportionately accelerated this: the unbridled avarice of the commercial property companies with rent increase piled on rent increase! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My hometown shows that high streets have to change or die
Aberdeen is launching an ambitious bid to revive its struggling centre. Could it offer lessons for other high streets?

My job involves helping people with all sorts of problems. Just at the local level I'm seeing a rapist out on bail for years, harassing his victim, attacking others, still on bail. A DV offender out of prison, harassing the victim and nothing done by the police. There are more and its exhausting.

Am I the only Brit who thinks that a load of triumphalist protestant, twats in bowler hats, getting permission to march though an area of NI where they are not welcome is an outrage? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Drumcree: DUP leader says Sinn Féin presence at Orange Order protest 'unlawful' as march delayed for hours
The march down the mainly-nationalist Garvaghy Road, which in the 1990s sparked some of the most serious disorder in Northern Ireland's history, will go ahead after a series of courtroom challenges.

That fucking shower of human piss reckons it acts for the British people. Let's have a 'this-or-that' referendum then, as with Brexit. - RNLI or - Angry racists with past convictions for violence. When we discover that most of us prefer heroic volunteers to wife-beaters can we bang the cunts up?

Just an observation - has anyone else noticed a proliferation of the the use of 'aircrafts' as a plural of 'aircraft'? The word 'aircraft' is both singular and plural - there is no plural 'one aircraft', '10 aircraft' are both 100% correct. '2 aircrafts' is WRONG!

Having lived abroad for 25 years, there are one of two British staples that I really miss. One is a really good Melton Mowbray pork pie and the other is a really good sausage roll.

Having been a involuntary "dole-bunny" for a couple of years in the distant past, I can assure any fascist pigs out there who support this kind of measure that depriving the unemployed or other benefit recipients of the right to even the slightest pleasure in life is well out of order!

I wrote to the DWP to inform them that I wanted to change the bank account into which my UK pension is paid. I didn't receive any acknowledgement so I phoned them. It transpires that when they scanned in my letter something went wrong & the contents of the letter were illegible so they did nothing!

The contrast between countries where I have lived in Europe & the UK. In Europe, you are obliged to register with the local authority & the moment you do, every government dept. is informed of your move automatically! In the UK, you can register as an elector & no one knows or bloody cares!

Why is it Britain is incapable of doing joined-up government? I registered to vote this morning in Winchester & said "I assume my registration in Eastbourne will automatically be removed" "No you need to do that yourself" was the reply. Open to voter fraud due to the usual civil service incompetence

I went for a stroll around Winchester High Street last night around 21:00 & of the half dozen restaurants & pubs I passed, most were empty! The number of punters between all of them I passed was probably less than 10. OK, Sunday nights are quiet but even so - how do these places make a living?
