Sunday evening mood

My granddad was a refugee, my wife, our close friends and those of our kids are either immigrants or the children of immigrants. Do ministers ever think about the message their rhetoric on "handouts" and "golden tickets" for migrants sends about whether this is a government for people like us?

The really notable thing about this Labour government is that even the guys that would routinely argue that their latest policy is actually clever and good and sensible and right actually have abandoned them now. Nobody is defending them now, they’ve all slunk away. Like the voters.

This photo popped into my head from the last time Ireland were at a World Cup. 2002. Living it up. Time again now lads!

Got served a post by a Muslim hiking group on FB, showing them trudging over the Yorkshire Dales in a fearsome rain storm, there’s just hundreds of replies going ”now THAT’s integration” and could there be anything more British than “we accept you if you get as cold, wet and miserable as us”? 🥶

We might be fighting this for the rest of our lives, but fight it we will.

They must be proud with this endorsement, they worked hard for it.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

Love that this stuff is happening in my village

People are like ‘why aren’t you proud to be British?’ and I’m all like 👇🏼

Willing handmaidens to fascism

Starmer’s Labour

Reader, the rebuilding job got better.

They'll never vote for you, but at the same time you doing this means anyone with a conscience left voting for you will also abandon you. 4D Chess, ladies and gentlemen

I'm sorry if this makes me petty, but I still aint over it sorry youtube.com/shorts/rBCzG...

Let's be real, this is the best Coppola film.

Not a Lib Dem by any measure, but it should always be noted the treatment anti-war voices receive in this country. Millions of people told you this war would kill millions, destabilise the entire region and lead to a massive refugee crisis. Remember what horrors these people cheerlead for.

Just the Telegraph here, casually admitting that the country was better before Thatcher.

We know what the British army is, what it does and how it behaves. Any parents who think their kids are safe in their care has been hitting the Are Troopz propaganda too hard.

The Epstein shit and the Sarajevo sniper news dropping basically at the same time cements how much wealth is THE problem. People with wealth believe they are above the law and can commit cruelty with impunity. End capitalism.

Post an image that will always make you laugh

Chip Shop in London is one of my favorite places in the world to DJ... check out Michael Page taking in the vibes... #hiphopsky

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court. This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

Born #OtD (13/11/1952-5/7/1998), Maria Mercè Marçal, one of the greatest Catalan writers of all time. As well as poetry and essays, she wrote this wonderful novel based on the life of Renée Vivien. (interview with one of the English language translators => blogs.exeter.ac.uk/translatingw... )

In fairness he looks overjoyed at making his England debut.

You're a white South African, you eat Christmas Dinner with your ancestors who were villains.

I don't think levelling "neighbourhoods" with two tonne bunker-busters sounds that much better tbh

Say what you like about the Worcester Patriots, but they're upholding the fine British tradition of sticking the butcher's apron up in places where the people who live there don't want it.

Having to book a hotel for a work thing and I am less impressed by the hotel's proximity to the Museum of Carpet than they seem to be.

Plays Peter Gunn Theme on organ.

I stood by you through the genocide, the racism and the bashing of the disabled. But making my Sensible Politics look bad? I simply can't condone this.

Stories on BBC News - a street brawl which helpfully tells us those involved were “of Turkish origin” and another about a sex offender “Sudanese” but an extremely prolific sex offender responsible for 343 offences is not described as “white British” why is that

Pretty brutal, especially when a third of your own voters think your goose is very much cooked.

Now why might Alice be against taxing wealth and property do you think? 🤔

Why isn’t the Trump administration being widely described as a “white supremacist administration” because that is overtly what it is?

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

They've lost Dunt, I REPEAT THEY'VE LOST DUNT!

Fun fact, in real life Tim Cappello was Tina Turner's sax player and Joel Schumacher that he thought he was perfect for Lost Boys.

A reminder that Streeting is making 18,000 NHS staff redundant without any clear business case or purpose

Images of Wes Steeting upset me because he looks so much like a haunted puppet that I cannot comprehend this is a living breathing man "Sleeping" for him is just lying down on top of the bed, fully clothed, and staring at the ceiling until dawn

Insane Clown President

when the bouncers have reluctantly let me into the club but immediately realise they’ve made a horrible mistake

Genuinely just giggled to myself about me as David Seaman. I’ve never really considered a tache as it makes you look like old bill.

There is no such thing as a non-human "artist".

Decided to use my big, stupid face again as I don’t like hiding behind a pfp that isn’t me. Still unwell though. And old.
