If something is legally required, like car insurance, then the industry should be nationalised. Why should the law force me to make profit for their shareholders rather than taxpayers?

A well known Christmas tune, but with updated lyrics to reflect the deep loneliness felt by many at this time of year: youtu.be/1Rjx8rEmDuw?...

You can't help what you like! 🤣

Your dog is frightened of fireworks? I don't know why. The fireworks are only being friendly.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

As a huge Presley fan, I was really pleased that I received very expensive VIP tickets to see the Elvis Evolution in London. My verdict? It was shit: badly organised, boring & poor VIP treatment - not getting a drink despite ordering one and not getting to sit with our drinks. Give it a miss!

I went to the Doctor...... I think this is my favourite home recording yet! Humorous (perhaps autobiographical?!) lyrics, nice ditty and my second recording of my mother-in-law's accordion! Midlife crisis recording #43 (wish we had media studies before digital came along!) youtu.be/VGBpefBDz7o?...

Getting too old to record songs of young love, I thought I'd go more mature on this strange song and, for the first time, played 'some' accordion. Genre has been described as 'Terror Tango' or 'Dark Swing'! youtu.be/1Iz2Ot5o0VM?...

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

I do not understand why Dems don’t start a daily press conference. What’s stopping them?

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Fun video for the latest recording: youtu.be/gK6lAqDPH00?...

Most claimed PIP conditions. Oh look you can't fake any of them.

Someone needs to invent a pharmaceutical drug that treats greed, which I consider to be a mental illness. Prove God wrong.

my friend asked for help because his neighbor broke into his house and is occupying his kitchen and one of his bathrooms, I'd help him but he didn't even try to negotiate with the intruder all he has to do is give up those rooms and this nightmare will be over

80% of Britons and 56% of Americans don't like Elon Musk. If you don't like Elon Musk, Like this Post. Lets see if we can make it the most liked one on Bluesky.

I'm sick of South African Musk's views as to who should live in certain countries so they can retain their 'culture'. Native Americans have had many illegal immigrants that never bothered adapting to their culture: wearing stetsons, no feathered headdress, didn't integrate, changed the culture.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

20’s: what even is a hangover? 40’s: puts on sunglasses to open fridge

This week's Internet winner goes to...

TikTok

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

30 years ago Spitting Image dared to broadcast the truth about Israel. Now no one dares.

As long as we’re renaming places, I’m renaming ‘Texas’ as ‘Old Mexico.’

Private Eye, as always, reminding us that Musk, in addition to him having a distorted view of the British electorate, is a hypocrite:

Let's collectively pick a date, say 17 March, to stop ironing clothes. If we all stop at the same time, no one has to be the last person still doing it. Embrace wrinkle.

They don't seem to get that we want our spaces curated, liars challenged, untruths excluded. Nice parks to visit, not the Wild West. Having to do all that ourselves might make for good clicking, but it's quickly exhausting, and, like Twitter, we'll vote with our feet.

“A huge 68% of respondents in Britain see a benefit in reintroducing cross-Channel freedom of movement in exchange for access to the European single market” www.bbc.com/news/article...

Elon Musk has said he loves immigration because he gets cheap workers who can't quit. Elon Musk owns Nigel Farage and Reform UK. You have been told.

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?! 🤚

Pretty much ..

Feel free to enjoy and share my Christmas offering for this year, from my UK home recording 'studio', in an attempt to get into the spirit of things, with my auto ego gravel vocals and enhanced whistling..... 🎶 The Christmas Blues 🎶 youtu.be/53PCsHacE-I?...

This needs to be taken very seriously. All donations that originate from abroad, no matter who is the final donor, should be banned. Only UK citizens should be allowed to donate to British political organisations

A peculiarly modern horror is when Facebook tells you that it’s your dead friend’s birthday. And you see that a number of people are wishing them happy birthday because they clearly don’t know.

A slight modernisation of the lyrics of this ditty, made at our home bar: youtu.be/5Ix4PsYbNUQ?...
