Scotland and Wales can’t afford to get caught up if England’s kamikaze nosedive into hell gains electoral traction.

Today Prince William is lecturing us about Climate Change. Yesterday he flew in a Private Jet, then a Helicopter, then travelled in a multi vehicle Land Rover Convoy. Early this year he went on holiday in this $450m Megayacht that uses as much fuel as 2000 cars. He is full of shit

"If this had been about the BBC promoting polls secretly funded by the Labour party, all hell would have broken loose... damning coverage by the papers, dominating the news agenda to the exclusion of all other matters, and probably leading to the resignation of the director general"

All day Piddington's womminfolk have been telling news how they will be terrified of "hundreds of young men nearby, free to come and go as they please." NOT ONE JOURNALIST has asked: "How did you cope when it was an army base? Who came and went then? Nuns?" Soon as you ask that, all becomes clear.

Perhaps the BBC could stop promoting and talking to them as if they are a legitimate political party and not just a cult owned by dodgy billionaires.

The people of Piddington have spoken. I say, grant them independence. Border controls. Visas to cross into the UK. Tariffs on goods. No GBP. No NHS. No benefits or pensions. Let us know when your little lilywhite enclave has gone all Mad Max and you started eating each other. BUH-BYE!

Journalists attacked with rocks for reporting on racist rioters waging a pogrom whilst calling for refugees to "have their f**king heads chopped off". These are the "protesters" with "legitimate concerns" we keep on hearing so much about www.edp24.co.uk/news/2644352...

Land Rover also does a Discovery Metropolitan edition. The name suggests it's for use in cities. Because you never know how high the kerb / cyclist / pedestrian you need to mount might be. And because there must be no limit to the pointless environmental harm you inflict.

What a sad day. Raising a glass to that very fine actor Tom Chadbon, who graced every franchise from James Bond to Blake’s 7 to Game of Thrones, and whose brilliant comic turn as Duggan, the out-of-his-depth private detective in the 1979 Doctor Who classic City of Death, is the stuff of TV legend.

It mystifies me why those who oppose Scottish independence aren't angry about this. NI and Gibraltar voted Remain and got what they voted for. Scotland voted Remain and was ignored. Angry yet? Why not? archive.is/CmQCV
England: voted Brexit, got Brexit.
Wales: voted Brexit, got Brexit.
N. Ireland: voted Remain, got special deal.
Scotland: voted Remain, got shafted.

As Ed Miliband leaves his post as energy and net-zero secretary, a final tally: There have been an incredible 251 newspaper editorials attacking him and his approach to net-zero since the start of 2024 That amounts to two editorials a week, mainly in the Sun, Daily Mail, Times and Daily Telegraph.
