Unfortunately the institutions of this country are filled with the “middle classes” and their need to lead them, it’s a mixture of snobbery and status. The Post Office, the BBC, Railways, Civil Service, financial markets etc…., and Downing Street is no different. They all rub each others ego.

Houchen on the 82 new electric buses for Teesside.. “..make our road network better for motorists..” note he doesn’t say buses. Car ownership levels on Teesside are lower than the national average. The “latest technology” he refers to is the AI being deployed to manage traffic signalling.

The Tees Valley Combined Authority uses Teesside Airport as its headquarters. Please listen to this snippet from their Transport Committee and I think you’ll agree is was a fucking stupid decision.

My oldest son and his girlfriend have been staying here at home this week, they’re off to make a new life in Australia next week. So I’m both gutted and excited for them. A very emotional week!

Screams at *checks notes* a public consultation. Come on Ed I’m sure you’re better than stooping to faux rage bait.

Well whatever you think of Apple they’ve certainly got the laptop manufacturers pissing themselves over the MacBook Neo’s price point. Although notably Microsoft being Microsoft isn’t shifting on its overpriced base model Surface laptop.

Really proud of this soundtrack 😊

Yes it’s a little known couple of projects called HS2 and Northern PowerHouse Rail.

The UK is almost three decades into a mass devolution of powers (if not resources to a similar extent). The centre still acts like a nineteenth century colonial administration. Staggering what it tries to manage- and fails to. Burnham is right here.

How I arrived on BlueSky *loud deafening screech* What? I said HOW I ARRIVED ON BLUESKY!

This is of course all very creepy and everything you see they see, you’re literally handing over all your intimate personal and financial details to random people. Are people really this fucking brain dead? For lots of reasons these will have to end up being banned in the workplace.

It’ll be a messy divorce but worth it in the end.

I don’t know about anyone else but I was brought up believing that the Labour Party, our Labour Party was the party of us all, for the common good, the workers, the working class, the militants, a state that would cast a blanket around those who struggled. Equality, diversity, everyone and anyone..

Have they learnt absolutely fuck all? Did the whole of this country not speak and protest over the decades about this. YOU DO NOT GET TO DO REGIME CHANGE. YOU DO NOT BECOME THE PET DOG OF AMERICAS FOREIGN POLICY! FFS has Keir Cunt Starmer learned fuck all?

It appears everyone is giving away free Disney+ subs. I now have two.

Microsoft Outlook not displaying the from email address is still a thing that boils my piss every single day.

Every issue I’ve seen Labour furiously attack The Green Party on was once Labour Party policy and it wasn’t even considered radical. You couldn’t fit a bus ticket between Labour, Reform and Tory party policy right now.

Wow that was 127th on their target list of seats.

Congratulations 💚

I Tried Building a 55" Arcade From Scrap PCs… I had no idea what I was doing unfortunately. youtu.be/AjqmzSmE5-c Sharing really appreciated 👍🏻🤩

What are you expecting? It’s circa £500-£600 MacBook that’ll do 99% of what most people require from a laptop. It’s not for high end gaming, designers or content creators. FFS Apple fanboys need to calm down a bit.

Home feed on YouTube is rapidly becoming a pointless place to look, filled with AI slop, excessive political rants and news. There are several channels I’ve clicked “do not recommend” on many times but they continue to appear. Subscription feed is the only way to keep any control.

Fuck off Dimbleby.

Advertise your accent with a gif

Cry harder.

Hope you’re all ordering your bunting for the Royal Trial. I wonder if they’ll do teacups and a commemorative coin?

Shall we have a go at that Republican of Britain thing again and not waste the opportunity like we did in early 90s?

Not a good day for the Saxe-Coburg’s

A full week of a BSI audit done. Thank fuck that’s done.

A petition has been started by assisted dying campaigner Sophie Blake - who has incurable secondary breast cancer - to stop the Lords from frustrating bills approved by MPs. Peers are currently debating the assisted dying bill at a snail’s pace. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Top tip: to avoid having the British Union of Fascists logo on the side of your mock-up train, don't use horrible text-to-image AI slop instead of actual designers and artists. www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...

Well Ireland it’s gonna be a very moist one.

You could Kinnocks own words today and apply them to the Treasury. “..They are then pickled into a rigid dogma, a code, and you go through the years sticking to that, outdated, misplaced, irrelevant to the real needs..”

🚨Breaking News, we got a new kitchen sink. More updates as this story develops….

Prosper UK

At least we’re getting the disclaimers on full show now. This of course means it won’t happen. Maybe they could setup a whole new agency called The Office of Value for Money (Ofval) whose setup costs of course would not be subjected to such tests.

Not that anyone here probably really gives a shit but they’ll stab him in the back before long. #TheDefectorsUK

Before the fucking rabble arrives…..

I’d band these glasses, that won’t happen so the best thing to do is just never ever talk or engage with anyone wearing RayBan glasses, smart or not. This is creepy as fuck. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Got through all of Heated Rivalry. That’s a lot of sex. If Mary Whitehouse wasn’t already dead she’d have a heart attack.

Stop following me, naked lady people.

Scott also doesn’t do news, he does the occasional nose poking on local FB and looks up recipes on TikTok, he avoids politics of any kind like it’s a virus. The other night, News at Ten comes on. “Why don’t they just shoot that horrible cunt?” I’ll let you guess who he meant. 😆
