I just stumbled back into X and now feel I need to shower. Like Germany 1936 it’s full of Nazis who don’t understand that its the guys who come in on the private jets that have ruined this country, not the people in the rubber boats.

To mark St Brigid’s Day, the oldest Irishwoman in Liberia, Sr Ann Kelly presented a St Brigid’s cross to the youngest Irishwoman in Liberia, Maeve Begley. Today we celebrate the legacy of courage & compassion that has been passed down through generations of women in Ireland. Irish Embassy, Liberia.

Matt Goodwin seems rather obsessed with "too many" Muslims and what he calls the "New Elite." Unlikely to play well in Gorton and Denton (30% Muslim in 2021 census). But if I'm wrong, dinner's on me, Matt www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/pop...

Let us all laugh at the sorry and needy human being that is Matt Goodwin. Don’t get angry. He lives that. Just laugh at him. What a sad, sour, ridiculous fool he is. Does he think people can’t see through him? Laugh him to scorn - a pygmy - wannabe colossus.

BARBARISM: Captured Russian troops are being compelled by Ukrainian special forces to watch the Melania ‘movie’.

@churchcat.bsky.social Was thinking about the importance of songwriters and musicians over the centuries for leading and recording the history of protest and solidarity by and for ordinary people. Always been somewhat taken aback when asked "what's the point of Folk Music". :)

Farage is pursuing his constituency duties in Dubai, where he is busy developing cultural links with Clacton.

The BBC under Chris Mason is septic

He’s an evil bastard James. Thwarted by academia and mega ambitious from a left wing expert in the Far Right to becoming a rabid member he is moving ever towards power.

I left my old job a couple of years ago. I’m getting by (just) but crikey, having done my tax return & seen how little I’m earning it was a shocker, it’s getting more & more difficult to earn money from illustration. I have been out of action too so…I’ll get cracking! Buy my art (FEBRUARY) 🙏🏻

Farage’s Brexit was peddled as “taking back control”. It’s been a shitshow. And not because we didn’t leave the ECHR. But because flouncing out of our cooperative arrangements backfires. Prejudice makes for easy slogans but ruinous policy. We should be very wary of this simplistic bullshit by now.

It must be comforting to be as devoid of scruples as Farage, with innate prejudices so reliable that one need never trouble oneself with piffling facts or research, or even bother to read (let alone write) one's own manifesto. What makes him money is right, is the sum total of his moral universe.

My Original artwork for The Woman in Black will be available to purchase in February. This and many others, plus sketches and roughs, I’ll try to make them as affordable as possible. *FEBRUARY*

Sadly the grownups in the room might be ignored again, we knew brexit was going to be a disaster, look who supported it! we know Farage is a wannabe facist his brown shirt muscle will be Robinson NF idiots. There is time for his grifting ways to be fully exposed

Think you’ll be safe on the streets if The Lizard King gets into No 10? Wormtongue, like his master, won’t be happy until he has his own GB ICE out on the streets. Don’t believe me? If you’d told Minnesota there would be state murder on their streets a year ago they wouldn’t have believed you.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

We have a long record of ignoring human rights abuses and sharing sporting events with rogue states. ENOUGH

The real estate boys & the deal makers will parcel up Gaza like a Thanksgiving turkey. Sykes-Picot Mark2. “To the victor the spoils” What wicked bastards they are. I watched Blair on election night & knew by his eyes that he was a grifter. Iraq told me I was right.

#OtD 23 Jan 1977, fascists murdered Arturo Ruiz in Madrid, who was demonstrating support for political prisoners jailed by the Franco regime, after police attacked the crowd. Protests against the killing the next day saw police kill a young woman stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9565...

‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’ Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Serious Q you should ask any Brexiteer. “You told us we didn’t need the EU. We had America. How do you feel now?”

EC President Ursula von der Leyen: “This moment of global change is fraught with dangers. Becoming more independent in shaping our own future will not be easy. It will require difficult decisions. “I am deeply convinced that together we can achieve it. “Long live Europe.”

Two cheeks of the same arse

Amen, amen, amen

Anyone surprised? Feeding info to Putin? Today we read he’s invited Putin to serve on his peace team for Gaza? Translation Putin has the P tapes, Putin has the Epstein files!

Lewader of a party that could fit all its elected MPs (not ex-Tories) in a family saloon is going to talk to America. Who the fuck does the Lizard King think he is/

Genuinely laughable that this sub-mediocre-opportunistic-as-they-come no-mark could insist he’s putting personal ambition to one side to join Reform. He says no one could seriously make that argument. Oh they could, Robert. Your vainglorious ego seems to have cut off the oxygen to your brain.

When you have a 90% right wing owned media this is not reported. Imagine if a Labour MP had done the same thing. Oh wait, Raynor and she was hauled over the coals for it

Irony is alive and well and so is hypocrisy. 😇

It will not surprise you to learn that Toby Youngs 'Free Speech Union' has obtained a High Court injunction banning the publication of a list of its donors open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

How come there has been no enquiry into The Lizard King’s new house? If a Labour MP had juggled close on a million squids it would have been all over the press and the Yellow Dogs braying for blood would have been heard as far away as Greenland.

I disagree with this man on many many levels but this is one of the times he proved to be absolutely right in his understanding of the currents of fascism that still ran through Britain and produced people like Farage, T Robinson and Enoch Powell. Bad, bad people.

Frog-marching a woman? Germany 1930s. Bannon’s playbook. He’s laughing his bollocks of as the world worries. How easy it has been to slide into fascism, because that is what this is, root and branch

We used to think that Nigel Farage's route to the top involved him joining the Conservative Party & being elected its leader. It now looks as though it it'll be by the Conservative Party joining Reform one person at a time.

The man is a heartless, greedy opportunist who once spoke out for Remain (when he thought it would win) and is now working with the Russian asset who brought us Brexit.

Lest we forget. Robert Jenrick, the Tory defector and new chum of Nigel the jew-baiter, had a mural of Mickey Mouse at a refugee centre painted over. It had been put there to help calm the children as they arrived at the place.

Jenrick joining Farage is logical - many more Tories will join Reform as the annihilation of the Tories looms large. Germany, 1930s the same lust for power/hatred of the common people and wish for aggrandisement swelled the ranks of Hitlers supporters. Bannon knows this - he’s loving it.

During the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump promised to deport every illegal immigrant who was a rapist, murderer, or thief. Well he ticks 2 of those boxes - so why hasn’t he self-deported?

I know what you’ll say - “not another bloody enquiry!” But we need one on this. It was a white elephant from the get-go and many of us pointed that out. Some Fat Cats are even fatter now while travel from Liverpool to Hull is still absolute shite.

Stephen Miller is looking a bit ropey these days

I’d forgotten this lovely little book - sadly now withdrawn from public sale and from all the libraries. I must have one of the few copies left

Check back here in February when I’ll posting about my original artwork and sketches for The Woman in Black which I’ll be making available to purchase…*FEBRUARY* Ta very much.

Unfortunately, i’ve just finished reading this book 😕 What a wonderful collection of short stories. Thoroughly enjoyable.
