Numbers matter "Russia has a whopping $66 billion allocated to death benefits and recruitment bonuses, with only $4 billion of their military budget left for everything else—and that’s before factoring in desertions, injuries, defections, and other forms of attrition"

Tragic beyond limit And the offenders, walk free among us

It's the Devil-may-care Warmongers Brand, for those okay with dropping a few hundred #$BILL on a knee-jerk War, anytime man But who'd not send a Dime on a healthcare system, infrastructure, energy resilience, ecology, etc Whoa no. They're keeping that V10 pickup

Data Centres The new Plutocrat Plague

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

Meat Transfer Fee

In April 2025, Elon Musk's DOGE directed the CDC to fire all full-time civilian employees within the Vessel Sanitation Program (VSP). These made unannounced sanitation checks on cruise ships, covering areas like food storage, medical centers, and water quality OooOops 😳

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, win the popular vote,and hold the majority of governorships... and still blame the other party for everything wrong with this country

Woodentop makes Thud noises That's it That's all you get

OooOops 😳

Happy Mother's Day to the mother of us all. (And who deserves to be treated better.)

Brexit Barbarian

This is the end result of Shabana Mahmood’s nasty immigration policies… more votes for Reform and so, more racism scaring and dividing our communities. Not sure how Labour can justify this, politically or morally. It’s so far from what we’d all hoped. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Everybody HATES AI except its missionary tech Plutocrat Profit-takers

We're in the Barbarian Robber Baron Age

Ludicrous USA Medieval stuff 😄

Excellent 👌 "Eighteen years of stagnation built the far right's base. The cost of living crisis will put them in power" Grace Blakeley May 11

I love this.

Outstanding brief, non-contradictory summary 😁🙄🍒🦯⌛

AHH .. those Evangelicals 🙄

Political leaning v education. Lesson: a Liberal Left using intellectual language will just bounce off ½ the voting population + increasingly the C-Left too. What people want is emotional impact and simple plain language: the Hard R has been mastering this for years. Who's Winning? One answer, sadly

It's 'Circle the Wagons, Protect the Don' at all costs for the entire US ReePublican & Evangelical movements, from now on Governing the USA and actually doing some Statesmanship?! Naaah, they're ALL too busy Winning ... The Next Election By ANY Means

BBC Scotland employees, to a person by definition have a good conceit about themselves and their self-importance as station-created luminaries and personalities. The thought of life outwith the bubble and an existence ostracised in private life and seen as toxic by their peers is what drives them on

BBC Scotland are a basket case, despised, derided, ridiculed, parodied, exposed on a daily basis by the public. The only motivation staff have is that they know outwith BBC Scotland they are unemployable in the broadcasting industry and, to be blunt, outwith it. 8/

BBC Scotland shredded the last vestiges of credibility and influence of public option years ago. They are now reduced to holding the Unionist core vote and, at the best, slowing its decline. This Holyrood election result proved to the political and financial backers 'Nobody listens.' 7/

BBC Scotland then commenced on a 2-decade cycle of escalation in their vitriol towards the SNP and the Independence movement while projecting any Unionist party, think tank, pressure group, business, organisation that were on message. Fail and try again with a 'just a bit more will do it' belief 6/

BBC Scotland in all their establishment overconfidence got a shock when they realised they were not the Movers - Shakers - Formers of public opinion that, in all their arrogance and complacency had tsken as a given and as they oft boasted were a much loved institution and national treasure. 5/

BBC Scotland commenced the most underhand, biased, manipulative, cunning, calculating, scheming, devious, disingenuous, guileful, duplicitous, coercive, exploitive, Machiavellian output ever seen in UK broadcasting. Safe in the knowledge that the UK Government, Ofcom, Press would have their back. 4/

BBC Scotland employees from top to bottom with a couple of exceptions that were quickly whittled out from top to bottom in every department, were the Unionist Pure of the Unionist Pure. Individuals devoid of principle, ethics, morality, decency are now the norm. 3/

BBC Scotland would be protected and insulated from criticism and its operatives given every support to stay on message to achieve the long terms objective. Namely - break the SNP and by default neutralise the Scottish Independence Movement. 2/

BBC Scotland 20 years ago was summoned by the UK Unionist Establishment and tasked with one objective. Save the Union. They were given an operational free hand with no restrictions or boundaries. Do and say anything you like and there is nothing off-limits. 1/

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

All together now! ... "But Nige did take five million quid, and Nige would take five million more!" 💥💥💥 #RefUKkers

/3. Why was none of this on Red Square at the May 9th parade?

Have you any idea how massive the SNP majority would have been if we had been using the Westminster voting system of First Past the Post? They would have won 78% of the votes. Reform would have had none!!

Unconditionally reject the Lying Plutocracy Party 💥🤟

Losing massively, in every home nation outside London but Starmer's STILL blindly emphasising 'Better Together' Woodentop. He doesn't seem it 😳🎈

I’ve just bought a ticket for the Scottish coach company Ember using my mobile. I wouldn’t mention it except they’re a startup running electric coaches across Scotland and, get this, they don’t have accounts or an app. Instead, they have a mobile-optimised website that’s easy to use. Amazing, eh?
