Went to see @marcusbrig.bsky.social last night. He’s still knocking it out of the park. Thought provoking, top class comedy.

‘Rum Bunch’ on BBC Radio 4 Extra is genuinely laugh out loud funny. Of course it is. It’s @bigedwards.bsky.social and I’m all for Justin having his own radio and TV channels. There’s all the comedy you need right there.

Farage: epic grifter

Toprak is a class act.

This is such a clever idea on taking kids to museums/galleries www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Anyone else got a cheeky fiver on Donald Trump awarding himself the World Cup next year?

Nigel Farage doesn’t think the Prime Minister should have free speech in this country. But he’ll tell foreigners that yours is somehow under threat from the Prime Minister. He’s a whiny little liar. Always has been. Always will be.

When Reform's Nathan Gill is sentenced for bribery, he will be the third of Nigel Farage's former MEPs to be jailed for being corrupt, after Tom Wise (expenses fraud) and Ashley Mote (falsely claiming benefits). What is it about Farage that attracts crooks?

If this happens there will be blood & it will be on the hands of every fucking BBC hack & every fucking tabloid scumbag & every fucking Labour reactionary and every fucking slimeball liberal centrist pundit that spent decades preparing the way for it with their endless avalanche of smug lying cant.

Maybe consumed…and then again, maybe not.

Headed up by no other than the snake oil salesman Farage the Brexshit mouthpiece.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

On the anniversary of the Brexit referendum Nigel Farage has an important message.

To those talking about 'Brexit surrender' - talk to this dipshit. He's the one who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, selling out farming & fishing, erecting huge barriers to trade and making everyone worse off. Just because he fancied a bash at being PM. Twat.

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

Apologies @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social I didn’t intend for my reply to be ‘snarky’. Sorry for any offence.

I wondered for a while why Trump was so excited by Brexit, even to the point of getting Farage to fluff him. It was simple, really: proof that, with the support of enough bent media, bad people selling bigotry & lies really could persuade people to vote to punch themselves in the face forever.

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Nigel Farage decides to be honest about Brexit.

Five years on, let's check on how Brexit is going:

Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

@theneweuropean.bsky.social Come on lads. You should know better. Lennon didn’t ever say that about Ringo. It was Jasper Carrott (I think).

Are Zuckerberg, Bezos etc the 21st century media moghuls taking on the mantle from W Randolph Hearst, Rothermere and Co? I’m unlikely to still be around when it happens but I’m certain Musk will end up alone in his empty castle having his ‘Rosebud’ moment.

@johnfinnemore.bsky.social Cabin Pressure running again from the beginning on BBC Radio 4 Extra. Perhaps 2025 won’t be so bad after all.

I've not been so amused since.... Ever

I wish you all a Happy New Year.

The European Convention on Human Rights is the latest political football in the Eurosceptic culture wars. Attacked by Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick amongst others, how is the ECHR misrepresented - and why do we need it?

Happy Winter Solstice! These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure. Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice. The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

Nailed it in one.

Does this make Farage and Tice The Brothers Grimm?

Economy shrinks by a further 0.1% Brexit has cut UK trade by up to 15%... Immigration is much higher post Brexit But..the...boats🙄 WAKE UP and smell the roses...or take your kids' future further into the mire. Then explain how poor we all are in 20 years time Apart from the super rich of course

Sky reporter last night referring to the “Ballon Dior”. Sheesh!

I’ve just deactivated and deleted Twitter. Ah! Bliss.

In a world of Trump and Putin, it may seem there’s little we can do to make the world a happier place, but something that may work is to SHUT THE DOOR when it’s minus a thousand when you go in a shop or cafe so not everyone will freeze to fucking death.
