#PigeonSky Heart-shaped beak!

Nobody "becomes" an atheist - it's how we are all born. You "become" a member of a cult, or are indoctrinated from an early age to identify with one.

George’s the Donkey’s birthday is coming up tomorrow and the ANIMALS ARE TALKING!

Conspiring to overthrow a UK Prime Minister might be called a coup. To do so for payment from and the interests of a foreign state like the US, contrary to UK interests? Treason. For the benefit of an enemy state like Russia? Traitors. For which the highest penalties are reserved. Which is it?

Aligning with the Single Market isn't enough - fully joining both the Single Market and Customs Union would reduce duplication, cut costs, and help UK businesses trade more easily and confidently across Europe. The longer we delay taking action, the longer businesses are going to suffer.

Should the U.K. join the EU? A clear difference between people who want to move society forward, and those who wish to drag us backwards.

Some positive reasons to #RejoinEU and commence #Breturn...

In German street carnival today:

⚠️ The UK needs to undo the damage done to our economy by Brexit. ⬇️ Lower costs in our supermarkets and greater growth for our businesses. 🇪🇺 Without deepening our relationship with Europe, the UK risks being isolated in an increasingly protectionist world.

A relevant petition... (You may have seen it before - I don't have a large audience and would like more people to have the opportunity to see it, and sign if they agree this would help rectify the murky relationships between wealth, media and government) petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Asked back in 2019 about reports of his work with Steve Bannon, Boris Johnson described them as “the biggest load of codswallop I have ever heard.” His spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment following the publication of Bannon's messages to Epstein confirming the relationship

@outonbluesix.bsky.social I think I now recall source of the little ghost story play I was asking abt before: I think it may have been adapted by a teenaged writer in 'It's Childsplay', c. 1976.

@fakehistoryhunter.net This is adorable!

“Excuse me, but I’m trying to sleep next door and all I hear is scratching, clawing, and ‘eek, eek, eek.’”

Bannon breaks silence after bombshell ties to Epstein exposed mol.im/a/15565225 But Bannon must have known. There are redacted images of Epstein's victims on the effing desk!

Can anyone read this in any other way than that Epstein was using cryptocurrency to fund Bannon's antics with Farage, Johnson, Salvini and Le Pen?

Gonna post it again... Please give it some exposure. It might not result in anything even if it got 100K signatures, but if it doesn't get any it definitely won't and we're seeing more and more evidence rather than conjecture around these murky, opaque orgs. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75...

Blimey. Looks like Matt Goodwin, who seems to think the Handmaid's Tale is an instruction manual, is in the pay of an Orban think tank, funded by Russian oil money.

Reform is soft on Russia. And it's stuff like this which explains why 👇🏻

It’s not just that a large majority want Britain to rejoin the EU, it’s the fact that the majority steadily continues to grow…

The messages between the far-right former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein reveal how Bannon worked with Boris Johnson and Farage to “overthrow” Theresa May at the height of the 2018 Brexit crisis in the UK bylinetimes.com/2026/02/16/b...

‘Lib Dems blast Elections Bill as “painfully timid” and call for transformative change’ “We need to scrap our broken, unfair voting system, make the House of Lords democratic, and finally lock out the corrupting influence of foreign actors like Trump and Musk.” www.libdems.org.uk/press/releas...

We all know who pays the price of greed. "Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong You see, you hear these funny voices In the Tower of Song" L Cohen

"The alternative is a populist movement that tells the truth, a populist movement that says, this is an injustice. You are being screwed over, and that story is not a cultural one, but a class one," which gets a huge pop.

Why re-litigate the referendum? Simple. Because a number of fellow Europeans (inc oconghaile and crew) are obsessed by the idea that British people voted to harm and hurt other Europeans. It’s not true. And that idea is damaging to hopes of rejoining If it makes people think we are enemies.

As @labourlewis.bsky.social puts it - Palantir, quite simply, stinks

If you want to understand why the BBC's stance on trans rights - only platforming cis people (and only those with a sceptical perspective) - is so outrageous imagine if it only platformed men talking about women's rights (and only those with a sceptical perspective).

"It is notable that the decline in numbers did not follow immediately after the Brexit vote (in 2016), or even after the UK had formally left the EU (in 2020), but only after the financial changes came into effect." ✍️ Rachel Brooks on student mobility after Brexit https://ow.ly/ZMGi50Yf8Ht

How long can Labour continue to get away with saying that now is not the time to rejoin the EU? How long must we all suffer a low growth economy, before people realise that Labour are opposed to rejoining? A vote for the least worst of the two old parties is a vote for continuing the decline.
