The Mail seem to have forgotten what the actual name of this 'phenomenon ' is. Here's a clue lads. It begins with a B.

60 years ago today, this is what was going on behind the Savoy Hotel in London. Watch the pawking metaws... youtu.be/MGxjIBEZvx0?...

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

One of the strangest ironies of the last ten years has been watching Britain immersing itself as deeply as ever in memories of WW2 while proudly turning its back on the project that emerged from it.

Obviously, I very much hope that I will still be alive in 15 years time. Mostly so that I can ask my granddaughter a question.... Why (fifteen years ago whilst wearing a Woody from Toy Story costume which isn't yours), did you decide to eat your tea with a bin on your head?

This sort of thing worked last time for a while. Until 1945 anyway.

😁

In an attempt to evade the publicity from her extra marital sex revelations, Liz Truss has gone into hiding. Unfortunately, the disguise she chose (Dennis Taylor working in a blast furnace) hasn't really worked...

Well, they've been right about him before ... #sevenmoredays

I blame George W. Bush. He softened America up to the idea that we could have someone stupid in the White House and things would still function.

Can you and Donna not stop him ?

Word of the day is ‘quiddler’ (18th century): one who focuses on unimportant issues while avoiding the important ones, or who fiddles/plays golf while Rome burns.

"You don't have the cards..."

😁

There is absolutely no justifiable reason for posting this sort of thing...

Has anyone pointed out to Trump that under his beautiful tariffs,all his golf equipment will now be costing 25% more ?

Oh no. Not more trouble in.paradise...

He says that the four Ukraine regions invaded (he could only name or pronounce two sadly), "should be Russian because they speak Russian". On that basis,I think he is suggesting that we should invade America and take it back. Well, ok Pete. You know best. See you in Boston for Tea Party Two.

How did a once great country end up in a position where this was even being openly discussed on national TV ? It has to be stopped. youtu.be/p9-ft4BvHTE?...

After negotiating with Putin, Trump has finally come out with a worthwhile statement this evening. "Of everybody, they are the worst people to negotiate with. They cheat." Unfortunately, he is talking about Canada. Of course he is.

Disappointing performance from Xi there. Could miss the nuclear playoffs.

I'd love to see the law which states it's illegal to not buy a car from ElonMusk.

Ooh look. Some very smart journalist (his words, not mine) has finally realised what was obvious to anyone with half a brain cell ten years ago.

A group of pro Palestinians have vandalised Trump's Turnberry golf club in protest at his plans to turn Gaza into an ethnically cleaned resort, with slogans such as 'Gaza is Not for Sale'. A spokesman for Trump said "This is a childish and criminal act". Yes we know. That's why they are protesting

In his heartwarming speech to Congress/latest Nuremberg rally rant, Trump has announced to the admiring cardboard cutouts that "we have ended government censorship and brought back free speech". Like this for example, posted on the very same day .

No one has properly explained to me why Trump is so in hock to Putin. Why is he so willing to give in so easily to the country America, and especially it's right wing parts, has hated for a hundred years ? It can only be naive stupidity or blackmail. Nothing else makes sense.

There are people on the other place claiming to be 'proud veterans' who are siding with Putin against a NATO ally I'll bet they didn't see that coming ten years ago. If you'd have suggested it they'd have called you a commie leftie but, here they are.

Important to take the week as a whole. Statement from Dominic Grieve:

All Trump wants is to be able to say 'I stopped the fighting. I brought peace'. He doesn't give a flying one about who gets killed, what Putin does next or what happens to Ukraine or it's people. Or ours. Zelenskyy, and Europe, have one remaining card over him. To not let him. And we must not.

Trump and Vance are currently bullying Zelenskyy live on TV and attempting to give in to Putin. In public. It is utterly disgusting and one of the most shameful things I have ever seen. Even by him. Someone somewhere has to stop this.

When a reporter asked Trump about tariffs, he insisted again that the country exporting the goods pays them. "China paid us billions last time". No they didn't. How have we ended up with someone/something who doesn't know this ?

@chartmusictotp.bsky.social Relistening to every episode and reached No. 67. The one hour 'discussion' with Al, Taylor and the wonderful Neil about the Wurzels is one the funniest things I've ever heard. I almost had to stop the car..😂

Macron career defining humiliation of Trump live on TV was a beautiful thing to watch. Starmer now has to step.up and do the same. Maybe with not quite the same style ... The outright lie, "Ukraine was the aggressor" was the line in the sand. Europe and the rest of the world has to stand together.

Listening to Leanne Lucas's interview on the BBC is utterly harrowing. Her bravery and dignity while mixed with anger mark her out as a very special person. I doubt I could handle any of it like her.

👏

Fifth anniversary for this piece of 'insight' saved from the always excellent Daily Mail website. Thankfully, the quality of BBC shoes must have improved as I've heard no complaints about their brogues or flip flops since.

I know that in the interests of the 'special relationship' we are supposed to align ourselves with Trump, but surely this is a step too far ?

Starmer needs to watch this and repeat it to the fat orange felon.. youtu.be/qMJcZpvyNok?...

Hero. We must back him, whatever it takes. Fuck the 'special relationship'. A special relationship where the bully is abusing you is one you need to get out of. We must not be the battered wife or girlfriend saying " but, he loves me. He will change." He won't.

J.D Vance, the first vice president to be named after a sports shop since Lilywhite Huckleboner III, says that Europe needs to focus on having free speech. Which is fair eough as ol' J.D.Sports himself once called Trump a Nazi. So well done him.

Beautiful. Stay for the advert at the end

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Let's hope Putin never finds out. He'll be livid.

Trump's brilliant plan to end the war in Ukraine has today been revealed. And all it needed was just six simple words. Let Putin Do What He Wants.

Well, I for one am both shocked and stunned.

Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico and calling it a great win for the US is the equivalent of us getting a blue passport. And equally pointless. Like renaming Twitter and having everyone call it Twitter. History will always call him a clown and that too will never change.
