@anthonyf272.bsky.social Hi Anthony, trust you are well ! Just been trawling my ‘Bookmarks’ and saved articles. Dumped a couple in the process. Bit wary of your blood pressure on another reminder of profligate expenditure… news.sky.com/story/plan-t...

Lord I hate being negative. My very first thoughts is 3 things. Towering Inferno, Grenfell Tower and The World Trade Center in 9/11 ! www.bbc.com/news/article...

The government has been pushing this for decades in automated production and robotic assembly lines. Ms Reeves best address smaller work forces seriously. Stop telling people to find jobs when there aren’t any. Industry was abdicated to China in the 60’s. fortune.com/2025/03/27/b...

Basically, just a dirty old man. Just the kind of person my mum warned my sister about when she was a teenager.

Not cos it’s to embarrassing to have the peasants think you’re unprofessional, ineffective, expensive and carry no responsibility for anything ? democracyforsale.substack.com/p/why-the-br...

@maureenpickering.bsky.social Sorry for that one Maureen. I get a bit up tight at hearing the uk pensioners are the worst provided for in the industrialised world. I tend to get a bit sarcastic.

Apparently pensioners don’t need the nationally agreed level of minimum income - “if you're 21+, working 35 hours, the minimum wage you should currently get is £22,222+ a year (increasing to £23,132+ a year from 1 April 2026)” The minimum wage isn’t optional either. www.bbc.com/news/article...

‘Some’ ? www.firstpost.com/world/why-so...

Time to revisit ‘lying in government’ and non delivery of promises and manifesto pledges. What’s the point of voting for anything if the most important bits never get delivered ? www.theguardian.com/law/2025/nov...

Not much changed here in the last two years. Gaining political power based on promises that politicians had no intention of delivering. bylinetimes.com/2023/10/24/g...

I guess taxing the vulnerable disabled is one way of keeping them out of sight. Stop them having free access to the same lifestyle normal people enjoy. Maybe bring back the hospitals for incurables ? www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’d suspect the two thirds of the iceberg is still below water level ? youtu.be/3jwmWVIEyrc?...

So there’s the confirmation that the US military strategy and guiding light for its safe and effective operation…. is directed by a stable genius ! youtu.be/FleATuaT-Ps?...

So all we need now is an article on how much of a fek the average ICE numpty cares about it ? www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-det...

I guess Farage would nominate them for major recognition in services to the UK with knighthoods or something. In removing immigrants in a private unpaid capacity ? www.bbc.com/news/article...

I suppose if Bondi gets thrown out and Reps have to find another AG. They might consider the White House tea lady. I know she only makes tea, coffee and lunches but she couldn’t do worse than Bondi, Habba, Halligan, Giuliani, Powell….. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

So he did get to shoot someone on the steps of the White House and nobody did do anything about it. How prophetic was that !

@nevada-stray-cat.bsky.social I need to chat with a guy that has a CanAm. I’m getting a bit past the two bikes I have….too damn heavy. Would like an idea on how you arrived at that particular 3 wheeler rather than any other ? So had to click on follow.

He won’t be allowed to live it down. The butt of joke’s internationally.

Come 2028 I’d hope the Democrats have a well prepared, irrefutable and rapid prosecution case ready to go when Trump leaves office. None of this 5 years later type time scales. Trump might not last that long ! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“fees had a "minimal" impact on visitor numbers”. Reeves gave that assurance and guaranteed it wouldn’t affect an essential industry did she ? news.sky.com/story/touris...

“Prosecuting Kelly for saying something that is literally true is going to raise the mother of all First Amendment objections,” Trump wants to prosecute Kelly for stating what’s already a legal provision ? Hope they tell taxpayers what this process will cost them. www.cnn.com/2025/11/26/p...

Yup, it takes a man to be vaporised and push up daisies - “Social media posts circulating in China earlier this year promised good pay and promoted a certain image of masculinity” Just can’t figure out when do they get to spend it while they’re dead ? www.cnn.com/2025/11/25/e...

Zero ethics and accountability are alive and well in the HoL. Caught lobbying for cash or bullying in Parliament. You can still return to the House of Lords - for life. No consequences. No accountability. Sign now to kick rule-breakers out for good. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...

🚨BOOM!! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 50,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Hmmm….need we worry ? youtu.be/_sZExWyLOHc?...

So that makes them 66.6% unprofessional and inefficient. Enough to make any normal manufacturing business/industry close down forever. Time to reduce tax payer funding by that much until they improve. Target figures for 90% accuracy required, minimum. www.cbsnews.com/news/charlot...

This is sick. Blue Labour are scum. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bugger, it checks out. He’s the worst kind of bastard. www.speciesunite.com/news-stories...

A minefield of pointless information. I guess we can expect to see - White male of Jewish/Russian decent who’s great grandparents fled Russia in 1870 ? Maybe while they’re at it - The arresting officer is of Protestant Huguenots descent that left France in 1685 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Where Ms Reeves says “British car manufacturers”. Presumably she means foreign owned companies that take all profits offshore but allow UK workers to screw their cars together for them ? Not “British Car” companies like Morgan and …. er …… nobody else ! news.sky.com/story/luxury...

Except when 500+ Korean personnel, that were setting up an EV plant at Trumps insistence for American manufacturing. Got arrested for deportation. When released, the majority wouldn’t go back. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Theres gotta be a problem with the basics here surely. Is it really that simple or obvious ?

@snarkysillysad.bsky.social Hi Michelle, hope you and yours are all well. Gotta ask one question I don’t understand. Is Trump trying to suggest in his proposed arrest of Kelly. There’s no provision for illegal orders to be ignored if they’re coming from him ? Cos I don’t see that in the oath ?

Seems like Trump is fulfilling Khrushchev’s 1956 promise to “destroy America without firing a shot”. Cos they’re going to “do it from the inside” ! www.cnn.com/2025/11/24/p...

I wonder what this little episode has cost the US tax payers so far ? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Maybe use her original name - Melanija Knavs. They won’t have a clue who that is and just pick her up as an unemployed ‘model’ specialising in nude photographs for men’s magazines ?

So, he did get his pile of dead bodies in their thousands then ? 38d.gs/bojo_all_df

I wonder what the total spend on this issue has been over the last 20 years. The £m’s spent on Rwanda, the buttering up of their government, the repairs to buildings from anti immigration rioting, the time Farage et al has spent in government and Priti Patel……. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I guess governments don’t like using ‘joined up thinking’ ? Doesn’t seem long ago we were told by government not to fear automated and robotic manufacturing processes. These would give us more ‘free’ time to enjoy longer weekends and family time ! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Very sad and totally wrong. So much for the UK being a compassionate country. “His asylum claim was refused by the Home Office, at least in part because officials were not familiar with cases from his country”. Why would the Home Office be professional ? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Tory and Labour governments have long histories of screwing pensioners. If the best qualified and experienced researchers, engineers, designers, managers or teachers decide to leave asap it’s the peasants that suffer most. HMRC don’t give a crap. uk.news.yahoo.com/hmrc-set-pun...

@catsnorchids.bsky.social A couple of “she who must be obeyed” art works.
