We don't now, and never have had a meaningful democracy in the UK. Without democracy, then, whither freedom? Socialist, procrastinator and reluctant Apple fanboy in Penzance, Cornwall. User number: 402,198

I nearly forgot about this app. Is social media in its death throes, or is it already dead? Apart from this, I now maintain a Meta account for Marketplace matters alone. All the rest have been happily sloughed off.

Terrorism at RAF Fairford? Terrorism on a flight to Tel Aviv? I don't just smell a black ops, I smell a series of them conveniently large enough to warrant a ground invasion of Iran.

The collective value of every vote cast in the 2024 UK General Election would be £1,037,136,240,000,000 (over £1.037 quadrillion), if every vote were worth £36mn. Where are my damned dividends?

You know what I like about Gen Z'ers? They ain't gonna put up with this shit. Conscripted they may be, but good luck getting them to defend the very thing that created their righteous indifference. None of them believe there is anything to defend. It's all for naught, and they are right.

You do realise, that if Farage wins, he replaces Farage, right? And if any of the major parties put up candidates, they are pandering to a short-term political stunt that will do them more harm than briefly maintaining the status quo.

Tris Stock 🇵🇸 @trisstock.bsky.social · 08/07/2026
I don't think it's clever, I think it is necessary. The main parties are right not to buy into Farage's political gamesmanship, but that doesn't mean his candidacy should go unanswered. Even if Farage wins this probable coronation, with Binface retaining his deposit, Farage loses the moral battle.

Thinking on the upcoming Clacton by-election, I'm wondering if the clever thing for Labour, would be to not stand a candidate there. They can only be embarrassed by fighting on broad Right-wing issues. Like they have since being in office.

Farage resigns as an MP only to stand again. He's hoping to wipe out any investigation into his dodgy funding. Rather than going through the scrutiny he deserves, he's about to cost the tax payers hundreds of thousands in order to bury any investigation.

I hear Trump is calling FIFA to see if Belgium can be suspended retroactively. Joking aside, the rest of the World needs to take this corruption seriously, and boycott FIFA indefinitely while organising amongst themselves to create a new fan-led World governing body for football.

It would "not affect lawful protest [against traditional Labour values]", but membership critical of its purported democratic values and abeyance of the rule of law, would become an indictable offence with a tariff of up to 14 years in prison, and an unlimited fine.

If it were found that the actions of Lab were "not consistent with democratic values and the rule of law", should we assume that its members are terrorists? Applying the logic of Bss. Carr, I believe it should be, as I believe Lab to be "not consistent with democratic values and the rule of law"

Scotland's projected AI data-centre water use of 1.37 billion litres/day could generate roughly 16 GWh of heat every day. That's about the waste heat from 950,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs running continuously. We spend billions generating heat, then billions more getting rid of it. Peak civilisation.
