There are a couple “acquaintances” I have who are not stupid by any means (one is a successful businessman) but who have fallen hook line & sinker for the Reform/Restore bullshit. I so wish they were on this platform to hear this!!!

I fear if Russia loses its fascist botnets they will just relocate to China where nobody is going to want to attack them

Just read the title of today's Politico newsletter. Genuis headline... "Back Zack or sack?" [Not a political comment just kowtowing to the pun construct!]

I think the Greens have really shot themselves in the foot this week. Just as there seemed to be some ideological rapprochement with Labour ideas, they go & make themselves so very unpopular with this racism motion that even I find myself questioning if I can still support them now.

my previous pinned post bemoaned Labour under Starmer,the lack of progressive policies & my leaning towards the Greens for radical ideas. Well,I am now torn.Labour under Burnham is tickling my fancy again! I still lean Greenward but am observing Labour’s trajectory now.

Apart from the fact that the caller is clearly a danger to society & himself, he also has the vote! And that is a worrying prospect.

I wonder why Farage is still so opposed to re-joining the EU, if only there was something...

I read somewhere (sadly) that the %age wanting to rejoin drops dramatically when the prospect of having to accept the Euro & Schengen becomes apparent. Little England is still alive & kicking it seems.

Lyons Corner House… wow, I remember my mum used to take me there for a treat in the mid/late 1950s! A Wimpy followed by a banana boat (a banana split lengthways with ice cream, chocolate sauce & whipped cream)! Then on to Soho to her favourite coffee roasters.

Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

If UK media actually explained Nigel Farage’s policies to the public no one would be supporting him

The UK should just make some shit up about arresting a few suspects with full evidence of how they invented it all sitting there waiting so that when Trump takes the bait and pretends he knew all about it they can release the evidence to prove definitively that he's a fucking liar.

Tony Blair is the grifting carcass of what once was a good politician who self-destructed and lost his moral compass to vanity. A dead horse that can't stop kicking itself and a crowd of admirers mistaking that for signs of vitality is now all there is left.

People who are socially and financially “privileged “ need to understand that it refers to the privilege to be able to help people. Why does it even need saying 🤷🏼‍♀️?

This young woman protesting peacefully (& for a just cause) will now have a criminal record, yet the government allows black clad thugs to run riot in Dover & Portsmouth with little more than a token gesture police operation. The law is an ass.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

That could be because all Jews are painted with the same brush as the genocidal Zionists in Israel. It’s sad & unfortunate for all the perfectly sane, rational Jews amongst us, but until Bibi is brought before the international courts that is unlikely to change.

The UK uses c227,000 miles of wrapping paper each year – much of this isn’t recycled. Some gift wrap can’t be recycled, and will inevitably end up in landfill. So choosing sustainable wrap, ribbon & tape – and recycling it – is one way to cut waste. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/reviews/casc...
