I wonder how much of the problem is that the masses have been groomed to be suspicious of people with intelligence rather than people with money.

Just back from a two day Three Mobile outage. Have I missed anything?

Looks like about 50mm of snow already in SY6 (200m asl) #uksnow 7/10

A very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

We’re in deep trouble. With thanks to @niallb1.bsky.social for finding this. 🙏 The response is my own. ☺️

I grew up in the same town as David Bowie; I went to the same school as David Bowie a year or two after he left; I had a friend who kept nagging me to see David Bowie at the folk club he ran locally; my Mum even registered David Bowie's marriage to Angie. I never met David Bowie or saw him play.

This will piss the right wingers off, but I’d say this chap is far more a patriot that the wankers painting roundabouts and hanging flags. What a legend!

Boom. Fuck you pal. I AM Christmas.

He isn't "losing" this money. This is called "paying tax like a responsible citizen and not hiding your money offshore" and we need to start recognising and applauding it.

“Long Tall Sally” has a strong claim to being the greatest song ever written. In fact, I’m going to listen to it now, and anyone else who fancies it is welcome to join me!

Stole this one ‘cause it’s good.

Couple of F-15s from Lakenheath just flew over south #Shropshire en route, presumably, for the #machloop

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI. I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

This is school bully stuff. I wonder how he treated any classmates who were a little different when he was at school?

Welcome Shabana Mahmood to your next four years of headlines!!!

It really shouldn’t be necessary to keep repeating this, but sadly it is. #Ukraine #SlavaUkraini

Putin's ambitions to conquer Ukraine and recreate the Russian Empire pose a once-in-a-generation threat to the whole of Europe. We cannot allow Trump to reward his aggression. The Prime Minister must use this opportunity to call for Russia to be removed from the G20.

Immigration is NOT tearing this country apart. Politicians like Farage and Mahmodo are tearing it apart by their divisive rhetoric and dishonest framing of the known facts behind immigration. I despise them for it. Now 10 years here isn’t long enough. It has to be 20 years. What a disgrace.

Hard to understand how the UK Labour party has even a single member left, seeing as it it has now become everything that you imagine someone once drawn to joining a Labour party is vehemently against. No one joins a Labour party hoping to punch down on the weakest and advance far right arguments

Your occasional reminder, if you’re in the UK, that it is shaping up to be a hideous bird flu season, with many wildlife casualties (including resident birds, not just winter migrants), and, however soft your heart, it is a Really Bad Idea to handle sick or ‘injured’ birds or bring them inside.

Bird flu has arrived very early this year and Shropshire is already under DEFRA restrictions. We are receiving regular reports of dead and sick waterfowl. Please do not approach or “rescue” wild birds that are obviously ill - ring your local wildlife rescue for advice and report your find to DEFRA.

In response to some of the comments: If you agree with *all* the reporting of a news organisation that is both independent *and* non-partisan, then it's very unlikely to be independent and non-partisan. This is true regardless of your politics. Agreeing with all its reporting is the wrong test

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Good morning wulferhampton have a magnificent Monday you manic monsters

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

If one of them says he lives in Clacton, don't believe him.

The idea that someone can become British but never English is so agonisingly stupid that it makes me fear for the future of the species.

Note to US armed forces: "I was only following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg and there's a good chance it won't work when the US comes to its senses again.

Outstanding

Miliband says it's 'possible' government should come off Elon Musk's X social media platform DO IT www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Fixed it: "UK is ‘least profitable country in Europe’ for drug prices, says massive drug company that wants to scalp more profit."

The horrors in Gaza must stop. And when the one man with the power to make it stop – Donald Trump – arrives in the UK today, Keir Starmer must do all he can to make the President act.

Totally agree up to the VAT bit but I recently read a suggestions that the VAT should be repurposed to abolish service charges, which disproportionately penalise poorer people.

This frontispiece in my book just made me laugh a lot. Is this Buddhist reincarnation, or some other form of afterlife?

Immigration is a net contributor to the UK economy. The only difference in academic studies is by how much. Pass it on.

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

It's really depressing, I have spent the morning swearing at every news bulletin
