Another "Rate your support experience" and "Why did you give that score" to which I have given the helpful answer "So you won't have anyone shot ... Join a union"

If they'd waited until November, they could have recognised Palestine on the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. Just for the foreign policy LOLs

Jesus; I thought they went overboard when the Queen Mother died, but this is seriously deranged

This american woman on #AnyQuestions sounds like a barely literate racist. Awful, awful person #radio4

Cost of a Land Registry Title Register on the official GOV.uk site: £7 Cost on one of the 'sponsored' sites that comes at the top of the Google search: £29.99

I was going to sign up for my annual Disney+ binge on The Bear, Only Murders and whatever this year's Star Wars series is. But they can go fuck themselves now.

Walking's definitely best. Imagine Brian sitting there, knowing you've just had mindblowing gay sex, and trying to think of appropriate things to say. #TheArchers

I knew it! Ruaris Rural Rogering #TheArchers

Every time I see that Google Pixel 10 ad where they ask "shouldn't your phone just answer?" I feel like screaming "Dear god, no!" That someone thinks this is a selling point is just weird to me.

🎶 It's Their Party, and they'll fight if they want to. 🎶

Someone has sent me a link to some files in a OneDrive folder, and I can't see for the life of me how I download them in one go. If I select multiple, I get a 'Copy to' button, and clicking that asks me to sign in? Do you really have to click to downlaod each one individually?

King Charles has the chance to redeem himself, prove monarchy isn't completely useless, and save the world. All he has to do is shank Trum with a steak knife.

I'm organising a geared up screening for Pillion, releasing in November. Will be good to fill the seats with leather, rubber, pups, bikers, etc.. @gearbound.london @londonleathermen.bsky.social @puppypride.social @rubbermen.london @clubcollared.com @rubber-underground.london

I suppose if there's a crumb of comfort to be taken from Wes' two-faced handwringing about trans people feeling less safe, it's that this may indicate that the many letters people have written to their MPs, denouncing the anti-trans policies, are having some effect.

Well, I guess that answers the perennial question of whether or not Wes Streeting is self-aware. My cats have a better grasp of cause and effect.

Gosh, more white washing and soft pedalling on "gender critical" bollox on #radio4.

I wish we'd voted for Chaos with Ed.

I've just lost brain cells reading some half-wit arguing that there's nothing wrong with the St George's flag being graffitied on houses on Leytonstone "because it's our flag." How dim are these people? Painting something on someone else's property is a message, plainly, as well as a violation.

Looking at all the pundits reporting people furious Starmer accepted Ovenden's resignation, it's like all these arseholes completely missed the whole #MeToo moment. "oh he's good at his job, so we must overlook the creepy sex stuff! It was years ago" Really? That's your considered view?

transwrites.world/how-transgen... How transgender people murdered Charlie Kirk and how we’ll kill again by @gemma.transwrites.world

In the last 50 years, we have had 12 Prime Ministers, 7 of whom first got the job by being chosen as their party leader, rather than an election. If (when) Starmer is replaced, we can expect Musk (and some in the media) to put a lot of effort into making everyone forget that fact.

Was he forced to apologize? Was the whole thing planned? Actually, both immaterial. Because I bet one thing's for sure: this will be used by some to say "Unlike leftists, if one of ours oversteps, we apologize." Just wait and see...

Finally he speaks! But is there anything in Starmer's statement he couldn't have said weeks ago, when the campaign of intimidation with flags started? Not really, no, & in the meantime he sent people out to appease. So, will people think this is genuine or that he was forced into it by "leftists"?

You know all those dystopian science fiction films where everything is run by evil corporations, and most people have to scrabble to get by? This is how it begins, isn't it?

It's is a source of utter despair that we have a Prime Minister, & a government, that is incapable of rising to the moment. Replacing a PM is a big step, but both parties have done it. If Starmer goes, his replacement's first test will likely be resisting Musk/far-right demands for an election

The Last Night of the Prom isn't perfect, but of the two versions of "patriotism" on display today, I'd rather drink a cup o' kindness with the people there than the ones on the march today.

You know, the US could probably get a brilliant boost to the economy by providing an address where we can send them £20 and our views on Charlie Kirk, to receive a certificate stating we're banned from entry. I'd hang one up proudly.

It's hard to escape the conclusion that a huge number of people working in UK and US media fall into the category of "useful idiot" And many of those that don't are fellow travellers.

No wonder I couldn't quite place that; must be almost 40 years since I saw Gounod's Faust. #LNOTP

The phrasing of this - presumably by the Governor - somewhat suggests that the apolitical position is to share Kirk's views. Left or right, views on bodily autonomy, race, DEI etc are political. To claim that only those who disagree are political is deeply unwise.

Oh god. She's probably going to get boobs instead of the veneers. #TheArchers

Oh you silly girl. If you're worried, why not visit him in prison without make-up? #TheArchers

Oh Amber, don't worry about George. No one likes who you really are. #TheArchers

A young guy from Utah? We should close our borders to Mormon missionaries, until we know just what the hell's going on with them. (I think is how that shit works, isn't it?)

Aside from all else, this article claims "the British anti-self ID movement has been proved right." Right about what exactly? The results of self-ID, wherever it's been introduced, are the opposite of their scare stories. A biased court that heard no trans voices upheld their bigotry. That's it.

Not at all surprisingly, the gay men I see posting gushing memorials to Charlie Kirk, neatly glossing over his homphobia, are exactly the ones who also berate any gay person who supports Palestine. But then, I've never found a "Gay not queer" hyper-masc who isn't fucked up.

A real president would use the moment to call for calm reflection, not seek to blame his political opponents.

Ruari's fed up with London because he's finished Grindr. #TheArchers

So, this idiot on #radio4 can say all violence is from the left, but when challenged why he left out Hoffman and Pelosi claims that's because we don't know enough about those. Like we know all about what happened yesterday?

Well, someone's going to have to come up with a new presidential award, now the Medal of Freedom has been so badly tarnished.

At best, the bullet casing is about two inches long. Just how much "ideology" can you manage to engrave on the side of it? And even if you fit "trans lives matter" on the side of a bullet, what does it prove? Other than that you have access to an engraver.

"all Charlie Kirk did was go to campuses and debate people" Oh, FFS, #WATO. He was a white supremacist, a homophobe, a transphobe. A vile nasty person. That doesn't justify assassination, but don't make out he was squeaky clean altar boy.

Chris Mason on #WATO #radio4 describing Mandelson's career as "spanning two centuries" makes him sound like a vampire. And, umm, actually, I got nothing ...

Gabby Giffords. Melissa Hortman. The Pelosis. CDC shootings. CNN shootings. Gretchen Whitmer kidnap plot. Pulse nightclub. Capital Gazette. If *this* is a watershed, surely it's the realisation that your Anni di piombo aren't arrving. America's been living through them for years, but didn't notice.

"I'm Mandy, fire me"

The Guardian still has sloppy subs, I see. They refer to Kirk's "evangelical Christian beliefs" Surely there should be quotes round 'Christian' or it should be prefixed with 'so-called', because I see nothing Christian in the hate he peddled.

The cynic in me has always felt that this way of describing downloading as "making" allows the police to arrest consumers of content (not too hard) while giving the impression they're catching the actual creators & abusers (much harder). All deserve prosecution, but even so, clarity is surely good?

The thing I remember most about Mandy, besides the scandals, is the petulant response to his losing his seat. It was a master class for bitter old queens.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

If you don't have autoplay turned off, I'd advise doing that. I've seen the videos. You don't want to, especially not accidentally.
