How incoherent and misandrist is @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social She glibly suggests that somone making an inappropriate comment about her breasts should be ‘decked’ by another man. Punched to the floor for a comment. People have died from such blows. Then she laughs and says she’s joking She isn’t.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social gluten free bread is smaller because it lacks… gluten. Gluten is the elastic scaffolding that holds the starch. Without the structure, a larger loaf would collapse under its own weight.

@enfieldgreens.bsky.social why are you supporting the Tories?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Said it many times: Chris Philp will say anything for money. It makes him not just ludicrous but dangerous.

In a letter to the Reform UK leader, Anna Turley said it was “in the public and national interest” to ensure that a suspected overseas hack of a senior politician’s phone by a hostile state was properly investigated.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social You’re missing two vital parts What did he earn? Over what time was the embezzlement? If he was on £150,000 easy to hide £400,000. Less so if he was on minimum wage.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The Leave vote was highest in areas with lest immigration and lowest in areas with high immigration (save for Boston). It’s not a rational argument. It isn’t affected by figures. It is fear and hate.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social NIMBYism. The English disease. It’s the main cause of cost overruns. Not just railways but every other infrastructure project. Check out the planning costs compared to (say) France. Results in prices 7x times higher per mile for comparable projects. Entitlement.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social There are several words: Dog. Pig. Frog.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social It wasn’t enough. You can’t declare a big reset (and in doing so endorse the need) and not deliver it. Starmer needed to drop a boulder and instead he scattered some gravel.

For 14 years the UK voted to keep the Tory party in power. The Tories suppressed wages, cut investment, boosted corporate profits, took us out of the EU, pushed up prices, tripled immigration and doubled NHS waiting lists. Who does the electorate blame? Labour. Fuck ‘em. Whining idiots.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Senior Tory MP claims knife crime went up by 72% in London. In fact offences fell by 11% in the year to September 2025.

Do you think the electorate care about Mandelson revelations? I don’t, beyond the media’s extraordinary need to hurt Starmer I don’t see the story. Who was hurt? What was lost? What laws were broken? No one cared about the appointment when it happened remember. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Sigh. @mrjamesob.bsky.social happily sponsoring casual sexism. Equal treatment?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Workplace injury/death Healthcare Nutrition Attitude/education Working class people do the shitty, dangerous jobs (mainly men) Poor people eat worse food. Often for the cheap, easy pleasure Poor people have worse healthcare access and they know no different

Trump’s “victory timeline” claims. Mar 3: "We won the war." Mar 7: "We defeated Iran." Mar 9: "We must attack Iran." Mar 9: "The war is ending almost completely, and very beautifully." Mar 11: “You never like to say too ⁠early you won. We won. In ​the first hour it was over.”

@mrjamesob.bsky.social and you live in a world where misandry is the norm.

Great post

So it turns out Reform are laundering their donations through crypto, before converting them into cash, hiding the original source of the money. So who is really funding Nigel Farage and Reform UK? observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social surely the @BBC can now sue Trump for slander after he lied about them using AI to ‘put words in his mouth’.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social We don’t yet meet the Copenhagen Criteria. Until we do we can’t hope to join. There’s also the thorny matter of the Euro. New members must commit to it. That said I think the UK could be ‘accommodated’ via EEA associate membership.

Nick Timothy is an uncannily perfect encapsulation of the crapification of public life in the UK: a bigoted failure blithely oozing from one disaster to the next while being rewarded at every turn by the far right media/political ecosystem. A golf club boor with the intellect of a burst balloon.

Oh ‘man flu’ is it @mrjamesob.bsky.social Men eh! What are they like? Whiners! I do find your misandry such a bizarre blind spot. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I think when the truth about Trump comes out and the venality and obscenity of those who allowed it is seen, the USA will suffer a social shock, a reckoning, the like of which it has never experienced. And those who defend Trump now… You will never remove the stain.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Trump? Humans deplore chaos. It’s bad for us. Unpredictability makes living very difficult. We put great effort into normalising our lives. Acknowledging that someone in power is not just bad but chaotic is anathema to us. It’s why we pretend there’s method in his madness.

Uh huh

@lbc.co.uk @iaindale.bsky.social Your reform man is talking nonsense. Predictably. Violent crime has fallen in London. Misinformation damages are democracy, especially racist information please play our part and rebut the lies. www.london.gov.uk/violent-crim...

@mrjamesob.bsky.social It’s colours, James. Large vocabulary means more expression in your verbal pictures. Only so much you can paint with primaries.

If Starmer had gone, the rabid, right wing hit-squad (the foreign owned UK press) would have turned on whoever came next. Can you imagine if Rayner was leader? We are led by the nose like squealing pigs to the slaughter.

@LBC you keep reporting that the Prime Minister ‘admitted’ to knowing that Mandelson had a relationship with Epstein… as if it was ever disputed. EVERYONE KNEW! Almost no one raised it last year. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

This blood lust has nothing to do with ethics, morality, Epstein or Mandelson and fuck all to do with the victims. This is just ‘can we edge the boss out of the window - for fun’. Tedious bubble clamour. Journalists making stories. Meanwhile… in America… Musk, Lutnick, Trump?

There aren't any penguins in Greenland, but there are other animals.

Trump launches a trade war with former European allies over Greenland.

Trump has no allies. He only has people he’s not currently trying to ruin. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

What effect does the illegal taking of Madura have on the oil supply to Putin’s shadow fleet?

Hey world, especially journalists and politicians. We only get to return to normal if we stop indulging the idiots and actually ask all those awkward questions. Temporary career sacrifices may be required.

What effect does the illegal taking of Madura have on the oil supply to Putin’s shadow fleet?

We all know that US military interventions in other countries have an excellent record of success. For the US and for the benighted nation.

The Conservative Party is simultaneously arguing people shouldn’t be jailed for social media posts directly calling for violence, but also that people’s citizenship should be revoked over social media posts they don’t like. Make it make sense.

I just don’t know how to respond to the normally excellent @mrjamesob.bsky.social when he presents boys as a sort of self-perpetuating problem that needs to be named and shamed. And worse, he uses a work of fiction to help justify his position. It’s all so wrong headed, regressive and depressing.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social you’re using the exact same logic as the racists: blaming the whole for the actions of a minority; treating the majority with something like contempt. Should we have classes for UK Muslims because jihadists exist? Or would that be offensive? But it’s OK, it’s just boys.

Feeling bleak in midwinter? Remember Trump only has 3 years left. At most. Deep breath.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social You surely realise that @LBC as part of Global are in the vanguard of those attacking the Chancellor.
