@mrjamesob.bsky.social has it exactly right this morning. I have been asking for days for someone to explain why opposing genocide makes anyone fear for their safety. No one could. It’s an entirely disingenuous, bad faith position aimed at closing down debate.

So here is my question. Let’s assume Miller & Co. are successful, i.e., they deport, jail, kill, all of the “undesirables.” What do they think society is like then? Like, what happens when they realize there’s still crime, drugs, and no one around to do half the jobs, from manual to skilled labor?1/

"Milei is amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing. That's leadership" - Nigel Farage Milei would be the "template" for my government - Kemi Badenoch

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying, "It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza" "These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

The English pay no attention to Northern Ireland - Part 3094

I’d take that headline a step further to be ‘Many Brits want Nigel Farage to f^ck off out of the UK, then keep f^cking off and never come back’

Zack Polanski shames Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood "Shabana Mahmood is being deeply irresponsible" "Conflating protests against a genocide in Gaza and weaponising that against an antisemitic attack on our streets, a terrorist attack, is deeply irresponsible"

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I don’t understand why a march in London should be cancelled ’out of respect’ for an unrelated attack on people in Manchester. Explain it to me. What’s your logic? >>>

Oh, that’s a good one.

Nearly five years on, PPE Medpro, the company linked to Michelle Mone, will have to pay back £122m for the defective gowns it sold the government. Now it’s time to go after the ministers who handed out contracts worth billions to their political chums. https://bit.ly/46RjgY4

@mrjamesob.bsky.social now he’s nailed Farage, what press scandal next for Stamer? The time he brought six items to the queue? The week he put out the wrong bin? When he chose not to tip a racist taxi-driver

That thing that always happens has happened again

There is no British freedom that is impacted by a digital ID card. Prove me wrong. It just means I don’t have ten names, numbers and passwords to forget. The state already holds all our information. The social media apps hold even more. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Starmer said ‘that is how we win’ moments after referencing ‘illegal immigration’. No Keir, you just lost. Yet again you have allowed the argument to be framed by idiots, xenophobes and racists. Those who hate whoever the tabloids tell them, will not vote for you. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Apple’s #LiquidGlass sucks. A battery intensive way to make everything harder to read. And who THE FUCK wants 3D wallpaper? And of course Siri still blows. Zero improvement. What does #iOS26 improve? Nothing. Apple doesn’t innovate anymore. It just makes money.

Found this fantastic placard on FB - wholeheartedly agree - RESISTANCE is the only option ✊✊🥰

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Can you pls open your show to the Kingdom Uniters and ask about their terrible fears. I want to hear them spell out exactly what will happen, how and when. What fate awaits us all because we in the 6th richest country grant safe haven to those fleeing wars and persecution?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social #MysteryHour Immigration is not a measure of permanent residence. In the UK at least, an immigrant is *anyone* planning to stay for more than 12 months. That’s why foreign students count in our immigration figures.

Quiz! *** They get put up in four star hotels They push to the front of the housing/NHS queue They get free phones/tablets They all burn their passports They must claim asylum in the first safe country *** If you believe any of these claims, congratulations, you are a stupid cunt!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social the cultivation of grievance against men is decades old, if not millennia. Men are assumed to be dangerous, malevolent and untrustworthy. No one talks of ‘fighting age women’. No one reasonable is arguing for subjegation. You’re on the wrong side of history on this.

While relatively small gatherings of far-right protesters are reported as the start of some kind of national civil revolt, much larger protests on other issues are routinely ignored at best, and openly demonised at worst www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/anywhere-b...

“In a report released this year, the Watson School of International and Public Affairs’ costs of war project said more journalists had been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, the Vietnam war, the wars in Yugoslavia and the US war in Afghanistan combined.” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

If you mean asylum seekers… they’re not illegal.

Turin is now my favourite Italian city. Big enough to be interesting; small enough to walk. Great public transport, phenomenal street scene (especially at night) and an abundance of culture.

Turin/Torino tomorrow. Any tips, travellers/Italians?

Where am I?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social just promised on the radio that later ‘we will look at pornography’!

Bluesky is proper toilet. The algo doesn’t push interactions. Nothing happens for weeks. It’s the opposite of social media. New name suggestion: hermits united.

Antisemites!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social you do demonise one group, James. A caller did it earlier and you offered no pushback. Men. “Age old problem.” Misandry is your blind spot.

I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

Oh dear.

@bma.org.uk Who the fuck is running your comms at the moment? Their ‘reverse 14 years of pay cuts in a year’ message is absurd, untenable and politically impossible. Public support will collapse completely.

Ah. The free speech people.

Pensioners? What? You just repeat lazy tropes.

‘Party given endless airtime and never held to account influencing politics,’ says member of the media who gives that party endless airtime and never holds them to account

Massive backlogs in asylum system Tory fuck up Massive backlogs in justice system Tory fuck up Housing shortage Tory fuck up NHS waiting times Tory fuck up Public sector wage crisis Tory fuck up 14 fucked up years. Labour can’t fix it all in twelve months.

@bubblehush12.bsky.social really? Porn bots here now. Do fuck off.

This is a policy that would be dismissed as completely extremist even a year or two ago. And it’s now being proposed by the leader of the opposition. If a Brit married someone born overseas and had a (British!) disabled child, for example, they would be cut off from state support under this plan.

“Tamping” The word ‘tamping’ comes from the Old French ‘tapper’- to strike or hit, which is from the Frankish *tampōn, a plug or stopper. It evolved to Middle English ‘tampen’ - pressing or packing down material, as in construction or pipe smoking, with a sense of forceful action.

@thatcymraes.bsky.social is ‘tamping’ still a term in use? Angry?! I was tamping!

The reverse Robin Hood: take from the poor to give to the rich.

There is no such thing as ‘emotional labour’. It is a new phrase used (almost exclusively by selfish, misandrist women) to justify their heartless behaviour; to explain away their self-preoccupation. It is an attempt to further pathologise male behaviour. Humans help each other. @theguardian.com
