Oh, Andy Burnham won the byelection... I had no clue having decided to be on social media far less. Good to see him re-enter the Commons than that sexist pig representing Reform UK Ltd.

I suppose its not usual for an England football fan (or anyone else) wearing an England shirt, England flag tied like a cape and a matching bucket hat, to be asking people on the street if they support England. A little encounter I had last night after work... Just weird.

The social media ban for U16's is designed to protect said age group from online harm. Why would anyone be against that unless they are the ones who are causing the harm, hidden away on an anonymous account? A caller even said as much... 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUxS...

I can't use YouTube Premium + Music as Google recently restructured their cloud storage plans which now include YouTube Premium. Getting the full premium with music would mean paying for premium twice. Instead, I use Apple Music... Thanks Google. share.google/e99fZFyyfdrm...

Journalist?? 😂😂😂😂😂

Reform leader, Nigel Farage is facing a standards probe into the £5 million donation from crypto billionaire. "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." - Attributed to Napoleon. Labour: - MPs resigning from the cabinet - Leadership challenges - Risking a Labour seat for Burnham

Whilst Labour needlessly rip themselves a new one for reasons I can't even remember nor care about anymore, have they not considered that the people are bored to shit with this leadership challenge BS that seems to be a never ending sequel of UK politics?

People say there are no such things as stupid questions, but if you have to ask who someone's photo ID belongs to, then we are pushing the boat out on that one.

Land of the free no more... No doubt Trump and MAGA will be extremely proud of themselves.

Some say that Britain might be impossible to govern and when you look at things like this, you start to wonder why. In 15 years, we have had 5 Prime Ministers from 2 political parties with an average of 3 years in office. 67 Labour MPs seem to think we need another. Have they learned nothing? 🙄

Nothing says anti-establishment and anti-elite as receiving £5m from a foreign donor and then refusing to answer questions about it. I don't think the same Trump tactic to difficult questions will work here in the UK, Nigel.

Reform is a bit like a school craze that soon fades away into irrelevance like yo-yos, Tamagotchi, bouncy balls, or pogs, before Farage starts up another political party like, I don't know, the People's Pothole Prevention Party.

Who remembers the Trump Phone? Recently updated T&Cs and it reads, "A preorder deposit provides only a conditional opportunity if Trump Mobile later elects, in its sole discretion, to offer the device for sale... and does not guarantee that a device will be produced or made available for purchase."

Not to mention elements of the right-wing print and broadcast media.

People have seen how shit Reform have been in Kent and voted to spread that shit further with a massive bucket and an industrial fan. 🙄

A newspaper telling people to Vote Reform and yet presenters on LBC walk around egg shells to not mention anything to do with an election. Why is this allowed???

My new photoID failed to arrive in time and still maybe another 3-4 weeks, so I am going to have to sit these local elections out. 🙄

Speaking of Farage, what happened to that recent claim about one of his properties being "fire bombed", or was it another loose bolt in the car idea for pre local election sympathies?

Keir Starmer receives glasses and his wife receives some dresses before becoming PM. Starmer followed procedure and declared them. Media response: Outrage. Nigel Farage receives £5 million for "security" and did not initially declare it, as revealed by an investigation. Media response:

Hastings is doing the Jack in the Green celebrations today and people on motorbikes are going back and forth, a tradition I have no idea about. Anyway... Instead of that, I'm doing an AirFix Supermarine Spitfire Mk. Vc. It's been a long time since I last made one of these.

Over the years that I've been politically aware, I've come to realise that it doesn't matter what colour rosette politicians wear, their petulance and self aggrandising makes them look more pathetic than they'll ever come to realise. Dunning-Kruger on steroids, if it were.

Reading became far more pleasurable when I chose the book and not being pushed to read Of Mice and Men at school. History is my topic of choice with my next being, 'In These Times: Living in Britain Through the Napoleonic Wars, 1793 - 1815,' by Jenny Uglow.

What???? This makes no sense whatsoever.

Since I graduated in 2013, the only work I can ever get is zero hour contracts which should be outlawed due to their potentially abusive nature. With that, comes little to no chance for career growth and you are stuck in a never ending loop of zero hour contracts. www.youtube.com/shorts/YhMXC...

Sometimes it's hard to tell if these people are for real or not, but with this, I suspect it very much is.

Only in Hastings 😂 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

My primary school made lunches from scratch daily with the teachers eating it too. It was better at Christmas and the school priest would attend the lunch too. At secondary school, a sharp decline in standards, it was pizza, burgers and chips. I didn't have any of it. www.lbc.co.uk/article/deep...

Why is a 79 year old man, who is supposed to be the leader of the free world, digitally playing dress up whether he claims it to be as a doctor, Jesus or a President?

That's one blockage out of the EU, a massive package to Ukraine to come and one giant middle finger to Orban's allies across Europe and the US.

If I have understood this walloper right, Scotland is the hostage of Westminster now no matter what? As for the list of chaos, how many of those were caused by Scotland? 0... Brexit was of your own making, 14 years of austerity was the Brain child of English Tory party.

Sometimes it's hard to tell what was serious and a joke on the government petitions website anymore. Not to mention the likelihood of users not knowing the difference between matters the government can and cannot control. This, being a prime example of something the government cannot control. 🙄

I found this doing the rounds on Facebook trying to convince people the Artemis mission is fake. Even BBC Verify has debunked it as created by Google Gemini, but yet people still believe it despite the obvious anomalies within the image. Conspiracy theorists are weird AF!!

Whilst the Artemis II crew return to the Earth after a successful orbital pass of the moon, Trump has celebrated this not with an increase to NASA's budget but with a 23% cut to it.

A still from the Artemis II mission as the Orion crew goes towards the dark side of the moon, with a crescent Earth in view behind it. A world of 8.3 billion has never looked so small and a mere speck of dust in a wider galaxy and universe.

Speaking Pixel @cscottbrown.bsky.social, I have had issues with both my 8 Pro and 10 with Google TV. My 8 Pro had 24 GB of movies and none of them would play as a download and instead streamed. Pixel 10 stutters and freezes for 2 - 3 seconds every so often. Have you had any issues?

FFS, I just got an ad during a movie I paid for outright on Amazon. Is this how things are going to be now??

I found a MacBook Pro this morning but the police station was closed and couldn't report it. Of course, forgetting its the Easter weekend. I will have to try again next week.

Yes God, bless America! It needs all the help it can get against this so-called President. "BEYOND THE STARS" 😂😂😂 The nearest star after our own is Proxima Centauri and travelling at 430,000 mph (same speed as the Parker Solar Probe) it would take between 6300 - 7200 years to get there.

Trump thinks the UK hasn't got a Navy? - Total personnel: 37,890 Commissioned ships - 3 Capital ships (inc. Flagship of the First Sea Lord) - 13 Escorts - 33 Patrol ships - 10 Submarines - 9 Auxiliary ships - 8 Miscellaneous ships - 160 aircraft We have a Navy, just not for Trump's use.

The PM might not be able to choose who to have stronger ties with between the US and the EU for diplomatic reasons, but I think the people will know who they favour having a closer relationship with over the other.

"Politicians should wear sponsor jackets like Nascar drivers, then we know who owns them." - Robin Williams.

It seems Microslop's weather forecasting (MSN) might be a little broken at the moment, claiming it is currently -30°C in Dover and + 28°C in Hastings. Whilst Bexhill is 28°C and expecting light snow in the afternoon. It reminds me of the time the BBC reported winds of 1000mph a few years ago.

Here I thought he didn't need NATO... again. The way they go on and on about being the greatest nation ever, you'd think they'd be able to do things without help. Maybe it's because the rest of NATO knows the war is illegal and alleged war crimes have taken place? Law & order, but for who?

Tomb Raider 2013 originally released on the PS3 is now on Android and iOS and it runs so smoothly on my Pixel 10.

My bet would be around people ditching smart/ AI tech and going back to simpler devices. I was recently deciding between a Pixel Watch 4 and a traditional watch from AVI-8... Still an ongoing debate.

Taco time🌮

Are the questions asked and debated by US veterans (inc. WWII) and citizens in 1968 still applicable today? - Korean War: 1950-53 - Vietnam War: 1955 - 75 - Persian Gulf War: 1990 - 91 - Afghan War: 2001 - 21 - Iraq War: 2003 - 11 - Iran War: 2026 - present www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGar...

The use of 😂 on news stories about the meningitis outbreak in Kent, I can only assume Alex Jones' brain juice has really got people for the worst. Its strange how this collective think they know more than science yet refuse to cite their sources. Hint: We all know its weird Facebook groups/ pages.

Where was Boris Johnson born again or does that not matter for some reason?

Ah, those Christian values of killing people on spurious claims, bombing innocence and justifying it as "collateral damage". I can only assume that 'Thou shall not kill' must be considered as woke these days in the ever so Christian country of the United States of America.
