Surely Farage is an honourable, decent, principled ordinary English man and a lover of all things English; he has to be, otherwise, he's a snake oil man, a grifter, an opportunist and his voters are gullible fools. And that just could not be.

I want to know the name of the 'committee '. The one that rescinded the red card of the U.S of A striker. Was it always there? Who is on it? Why haven't we heard about it until now?

Fairly obvious really - as with Epstein. Bible-ologist DUP seems more shocked at the visit to a gay sauna than the gross criminal acts. Which 'acts' does this 'knowing' refer to I wonder. 'Repent and be saved'?

Great idea. Pipe into which you drop ( very satisfying) your recyclable paper cup (not into a general refuse bin). Coffee hut, Ann Valley, Dunhill, Co Waterford, Ireland.

A Frank Ormsby poem in today's Irish Times.

“You cannot make billions of dollars without hurting lots of people. And you can’t hurt lots of people without, in some sense, believing that they’re not really people.” Corey Doctorow

On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”

Wonderful.

U.S of A politics - like a swimming pool. All the noise is at the shallow end.

Scientists are saying it's the first form of racism that's completely undecipherable.

Great thread. The Telegraph has really become a shitty nonsense rag.

Maith an buachaill, Pope Leo. Applies to every art creator. "We need you. We need your imagination, your narrative creativity, and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound."

Just pre Brexit met an English man at a wedding near Tunbridge Wells who ridiculed Proportional Representation saying, unike FPP, it always lead to political instability. Wish I had his number: 7th PMs in 10 years?

Farage, the CEO of a private, top-down company, Reform UK, lecturing his follow subjects/citizens on how a PM should be chosen. Does he think all the people effin' stupid, or what?

Religion can be 'like a swimming pool: all the noise is at the shallow end' Canon W.H. Vanstone d.1999.

'If you have any information about the whereabouts of Nigel, whose mummy is very worried about him, the number is 0345 6060 973.' After Andy Burnham's Makerfield win, James O'Brien wonders why the Reform UK leader is not doing any live interviews.

Makerfield by-election- over 15.5k people voted for the Farage-cult, private company and its 'Christian' values? Salt-of-the-earth working class folk, with a vision?

Harry Kane feinted, so he did. Legal. Ungentlemanly.

@thegodshow.com God, so far, you seem to have assisted in a lot of goals in this World Cup.

International waters? An anachronism surely. If Ben can do it, so can Vlad.

These are the real people of Belfast. Thousands of anti-fascists rally against the far-right at Belfast City Hall today. They sent a clear message that racism is not wanted in their city. Things you love to see ✊❤

Hundreds of strangers in Belfast working together. Doing shopping, providing accommodation, driving kids to school, people to hospital appointments. Have just been told of a woman close to us who hasn't left her house since Monday so we'll be sorting her out today and getting her anything she needs

No surprise.

A subject that fascinates me, having spent a lifetime visiting England. Question is: why, in celebrating Englishness does one find oneself in a dangerous habitat. Englishness is more than war victory, testostrone soccer, obsession about the Other. There's so much more. bbc.com/news/article...

If in doubt shout - republican working Class our Culture tradition and you'll win those voters. Yes, those ones.

The only message not voting sends to a politician is that your opinion can be safely ignored because you will never hold them accountable. That's it. You can tell yourself not voting is good for your personal brand or your moral well being, but never pretend it makes a difference in the real world.

If you’d told me on January 7th 2021 that everyone in this picture would be pardoned and be paid $1 million each for reparations, I’d have said you were insane. It turns out that it’s American voters that are insane.

Iranians have learnt from the Trumpcult: make money from everything and anything.

Why do old men think they're wise? Why do old men seem so certain? Who can old men not stay quiet? Why do old men want us to listen? Why do old men seem not to know? Why don't old men clean that window?

Ever since his God's-on-our-side prayer meeting with George Bush, Tony Blair continues to have delusions of grandeur. And why does he need to hoard so much cash? He had strayed a long way from the gospel of peace.

From here: one can see that there's a beyond-the-bounds-of-possibility number of Reform UK politicians- MPs, councillors -who seem to be just horrible, nasty, hate-filled people, quite fond of criminality. Is it something in the water? Is there a Reform UK psychologist who might explain?

Out of the mouth of the young: why aren't Wales and Scotland allowed to enter the Eurovision? It's always England
