The #nigelfarage 5m #gift scandal continues. The money was first given to him to pay for his #personalsecurity then it emerged be bought a 1.4m #house for cash. Then it was claimed it was from his fee for being on #realitytv that paid for it but press reports now say that was not the case. It […]

Congrats to #dara and #bulgaria on winning the #eurovision. Sadly, being from the #uk the Eurovision never seems to quite go in our favour. I had set a target of 2 points this year for us, sadly we only got 1.

Frankly the #UK does not deserve a new #PM. You chose the path of voting for #Brexit then kicking out every other #pm#brexitthat existed, although some removed themselves due to lies and being crap. But really, the problems of the #UK largely rest with those that live there and the liar #Farage. I say […]

#fifa has increased the prices of some tickets for the #worldcup to $32000. FiFA keeps the money, but the regions where the matches are hosted must pay for everything, including security for the execs. This is little more than a legit #scam fleecing the local tax payers in exchange for the #fifa […]

In a world of bad news, here is something nice. #sirdavidattenborough yesterday celebrated ihs #100th #birthday. Sir David has been making amazing documentaries about our #planet and the many #plants and #animals on it for decades. In his warm, friendly and educated way he has championed […]

[Leipzig Car Horror] Terrible scenes today in #leipzig after a car drove into a crowd. Again a needless violent act, and sadly not the first of this type of attack in #germany RIP those who have lost their lives and I wish all the best to those who are injured […]

[Bonn] It is great to be back in one of my favourite countries, #germany and visiting where I used to live, #bonn. Lots of nice memories, and of course it gives me time to see what has changed since I was last here.

I am not a fan of the #uk #labourparty but #starmer should remain in power. He a #decent person who actually cares about the people. This is not something we had in the previous 14 years of #Tory #Government. Why #Mandelson was anywhere near #power again escapes me but it was #not #starmer#decent#tory#government#power#not[…]

At last something sensible regarding housing in #barcelona and potentially #athens. While tourism should be welcomed, endless airbnb apartments do not benefit those who need to live and work in a city. A city (or town) should first and foremost be for it's residents […]

[Iran increases executions] The #evil regime in #Iran has stepped up the number of #executions in order to scare the population. Many have perished but in the photos shared here are Amirhossein Hatami, Babak Alipour, Pouya Ghobadi and Amirali Mirjafari. In March […] [Original post on maly.io]

[Scammers] #janetfordham sadly died in #Ghana after being #scammed out of her home and assets worth about #1m. She fell in #love on the #Internet. She went tp #ghana#scammed#1m#love#internettry and get some of her money back. A sad story and #dating #scams are sadly all too common […]

[Andy Kershaw dies] #british #dj and #presenter #andykershaw passed away. He was a huge promoter of music of all kinds and from many countries. He also contributed to the #bbc series #fromourowncorrespondent where he covered topcis such as the #rwandangenocide and the conflict in #sierraleone […]

41% of jet fuel in Europe is imported and over recent years the refining capacity has been reduced. Leaving fuel supplies entirely to the market is crap.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) told The Independent that “the scale and scope of military operations in southern Lebanon” has reached “devastating” proportions and that health and medical care in the region is at risk […]

[Crime Capital London] According to statements made by the UK Government, and articles by the Guardian and other organisations. Approximately 40% of the worlds illegal money flows through London and and the UK's Crown Dependencies. London, The Conservative Party and others were key enablers in […]

Well done Hungary! 🇭🇺🇪🇺

Will #orban leave #hungary and go into exile? The proposed anti-corruption drive is sure to upset some of those around him.

Congrats to the people of #hungary for kicking #orban out. #democracy despite his meddling won out.

[Domestic abuser jailed in Scotland for killing wife who took her own life] Such a s sad story, Kimberly Milne took her own life due to her absusive and controlling husband. However, in a landmark case in #scotland he was found guilty by a jury of culpable #homocide. RIP Kimblery […]

[Bike Stolen in Luxembourg] The bike below was stolen in #bonnevoie #luxembourgcity it is not mine or if you have seen it advertised somewhere such as #facebook etc please contact the police. <img src="https://hoplrcontent.blob.core.windows […] [Original post on maly.io]

My thoughts to the civilians of #iran today who face obliteration if #trump follows through on his threats. That said, the Iranian #regime is awful and I would love to see that removed. But the killing of innocent civilians is not required and it is not up to countries who do not understand […]

#vance is meeting #orban in #hungary to offer his support to the #european "dictator". Well I guess he is technically elected... I guess one key discussion is what happens if Orban loses? Answer, he will be offered exile in the #usa. Orban cannot leave office, or he will face very serious […]

Well the great #switchingsides is about to come an effective the #withdrawl from #NATO by the #US and the fully open support by #trump of #russia. Vladmir has for now won. Once the #US is out of #NATO it can do as it wants. Even if there is a legal need for a vote in the US, Trump can just […]

#trump today threatened to cut off #jetfuel supplies to #europe , as a point of note the last known shipment of such fuel to the #uk will be in two weeks.

#uk and many other countries will face #medicine shortages if the #iran #war continues. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/mar/28/uk-weeks-away-medicine-shortages-iran-war-impacts-experts-warn

@rodlux can the 25 sensible EU member states just each give their part of the 90G€ to Ukraine and give the 🖕to the Orban thing.

#orban has refused to help #ukraine again by blocking a 90bn loan. Again #Hungary shows that it is on the side of #Russia. It really is time to kick #hungary#russiaout of the #eu.

I really feel for the #iranian people after the corrupt and violent regine appointed #mojtabakhamenei as the new Supreme Leader. On the one hand they suffer yet more attacks by Bibi the Butcher and the other they will be made to pay for any apparenty disloyalty to a crackpot regime. My thoughts […]

[Brexit Dividend] The #Nissan car plan in #Sunderland #UK faces closure due to the potential #buy #european incentives being put in place by the #eu to counteract #us sanctions and #chinese imports. It is worth noting that 61% of people in #sunderland#uk#buy#european#eu#us#chinese for #brexit. I doubt the majority of […]

[Football] Tonight it is #luxembourg vs #Scotland (Womens WC). Sorry my friends here, I will be cheering on #scotland. Although I am of course torn after being here for years.

It is great to see so many #iranians out celebrating the potential end of the terrible regime. The people of Iran deserve to be free after so many years of one of the worst regimes around. #iran #freedom

Well done to #belgium for seizing a #russian shadow fleet oil tanker. We need to see much more of this, including the seizing of the shadow assets held in Moscow on the Thames. Prior to the #war around 30% of properties sold in London were for cash. And although entirely unrelated a lot of […]

I have to say that I am surprised that #khomenei was in his office when he was killed. Given the threat from the #us you would have thought he would have been somewhere less obvious. Anyway, for what he has done may he RIH (rot in hell). Around 30-40k people, often young were killed in his […]

Although removing the #iranaian regime is probably a good thing, I hope the interim phase is not too painful for the civilians in Iran. As usual however #ayatollah #netanyahu is clinging to power much like his #Iranian counterpart. While #Bibi only faces prison if he loses power the #iranian#bibi[…]

[Be Brave Iranians] My throughs to the brave people of #iran who have stood up to the evil regime. Be even stronger now as the #us and #israel start the campaign. After decades of industrial scale human rights abuses, economic hardship and fake religious leaders it is time change. Whatever […]

[The Brave People of Iran] Those protesting in #iran are really showing what it means to be brave. I hope they can achieve the future they desire.

#nigelfarage has refused to condemn a #reformuk Deputy Council leader who called for a Labour MP who is a rape victim to be shot. Tells you all you need to know about how violence against opponents is the language of ReformUK.

[UK Politics] So another #reformuk person has been found (allegedly) to be #antisemitic and #racist. GIven the #party leader #farage said (as 17 y/o) that he supported the gas chambers, it should be no surprise that yet another ReformUK member has been busted.

[Survey finds AI Gains Not There] 6000 executives in #us, #uk, #germany and #australia found no meaningful gaines from the use of #AI. This does not mean that the rise of #AI will cease, but rather I suspect we are starting now to see through some of the hype with cold, hard facts. #ai will […]

[EU & UK prepares for a post Mastercard and Visa World] At long last, even before Trump, the UK and Europe should not have relied totally on #visa and #mastercard and to a lesser extent #americanexpress. All companies provide good services, but placing your entire financial system in the hands […]

OK, so JD Vance having a 100 car motorcade travelling through the streets of Milan is one way of projecting political power. But if he really wanted to impress Europeans he could have just gone and done his own supermarket shopping.

Again #bankofscotland not far away from being utterly awful. In this case a mistake when they helped a #russian under sanctions avoid those #sanctions. This bank should have been shut down years ago […]

🇷🇺 "MEPs of UKIP opposed a resolution in 2008 condemning Putin’s invasion of Georgia. Farage also opposed a resolution in 2011 which criticised the conduct of elections in Russia that were widely regarded as rigged." Farage has always had a soft touch to Putin. https://econ.st/3Nm9yXA

RE: https://mastodon.social/@louisc/115753605954112249 You could download this thing, cancel your Spotify subscription, and just send 1€/month to your top ten artists, ans they’d still be better off. Now, where do I get a 300TB hard disk? 🤔

Growing up in the mid 90s we were always asked to write essays about ‘the year 2K and beyond’ and ‘our glorious tech future’. I wish I can go back in time to say, ‘30 years from now, democracy will be destroyed by dudes selling hatred in order to sell health supplements and steroids’

The #uk Government has launched a long overdue inquiry into #russian interference in UK politics. This has been evident for years, for example the regular parties involving #reformuk (then UKIP/Brexit) and the #conservatives at the Russian embassy in London under the "Conservative Friends of […]

[Anti-semitism] Anti-semitism was on the rise long before #hamas attacked civilians in #Israel. In France graves were defaced and many now mainstream politicians denied the holocaust. We must never let this happen again, but importantly that does not mean agreeing with the #israeli government […]

[Again another disgusting attack] While I totally disagree with the collective punishment of the cilivians in #gaza, it makes me very angry when #jewish civilians are targetted. Those who kill Jewish civilians no better than than the #israeli Government or #hamas who target and kill those they […]
