Wow I never thought we would be approaching WW III against Russia and USA. History repeating itself. Wasn't WW II possible due to weak leadership allowing Hitler invade other countries, sending envoys trying to appease him? Will king Charles and William be detained on their visit?

Here we go again. Trump has told the UK that if we want a UK-US tech deal, we need to buy chlorinated chicken from the US! 🤢🐔 How dare he try to impose poor food standards in Britain. Sign the petition to keep chlorine-washed chicken off our shelves: act.38degrees.org.uk/act/chlorine...

The other night I dropped off a parcel for Evri pick up at my local garage. When I left there was a guy who parked his van across the forecourt exit so he could be near a cash machine. There was a queue of cars waiting to get out. I just stopped and stared at the idiot. He saw me and asked me..

Last Tuesday I came off my bike on an icy road. My rhs slammed down pretty hard. Really winded me and could tell I was pretty banged up. Yes I checked my bike. Took me a minute to get back on and finish my commute. By the end of the day I was struggling to walk and ribs felt very delicate. 1/n

Hell even the bots telling me how bad Labour is are making sense.

Agree this movie is very good and have watched it multiple times. I would say the movie I absolutely love though is The Red Shoes. Amazing.

I am in Leicester today so took the opportunity to look for some clothes etc . Jeez the paucity of offerings other than bland for men is depressing. Okay, I currently have a pink mohican but I do like a good 3 piece suit. I was looking for a decent tweed waistcoat to wear with my kilt. Boots too

More of this sort of thing. Seen today in "Woke" North London

My wife and I went for a walk this morning through the fields and orchard surrounding the village. Beautiful morning, light, cool breeze, and very warm sunshine. My wife likes to cut dried grasses to arrange in a pot at home. We saw a white-tailed deer bounding away. Birds chirping away. 1/n

Further evidence that the UK, or at least some of the people are less tolerant, disrespectful and just plain selfish and than ever. They'd not like it if it happened to their family's funeral. A few seconds of respect. That's all. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is a welcoming account.

UK children living in the most disadvantaged areas are more likely to die in intensive care, children living in poverty projected to rise to 4.8m by 2029. Govts tinker with poverty. Push real wage/benefit cuts, don't curb profiteering, appease the rich, destroy futures.

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.

In my view I saw an increase in public cruelty in the UK when The Weakest Link started broadcasting. It normalised it.

Did you see this report from a couple of weeks back? Theyre on bluesky...

I don't use social media as much as many others do although I do use free YouTube to watch videos. The number of gambling adds has increased massively. I will say that any shleb promoting gambling, you are dead to me.

I have type 1 diabetes. In the UK I have to reapply for my driving licence every 3 years. I have to provide quite a bit of information, by post. My GP is legally bound to also inform DVLA if they believe my diabetes control isn't sufficient. 'healthy' people have no checks besides the initial test.

High street slot machine shops, owned by Merkur, are paying their staff bonuses linked to how much gamblers lose. Companies chase profits by spreading misery, exploiting vulnerable people Gambling Commission must shut down these parasites.

How microplastics may be reshaping our bodies and minds. “The particles are in our blood, brains and guts – and scientists are only beginning to learn what they do.” Microplastics like those from car tires. The bigger and heavier the vehicle, the more microplastics shed.

@jeevunsandher.bsky.social Epinal Way is a prime example of the ridiculous flag-shagging with intent.

“The second anyone suggests that a man whose entire political career has been devoted to attacking migrants and making discriminatory comments about non-white people, might be a racist, all hell breaks loose” Enough. Farage is a racist menace. We must say so. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

Wife is returning from Preston today. Train already delayed by 5 minutes but is also on pause due to track being inspected. She has a 10 min window to get her connection in Crewe. FFS what a shit show the UK rail network is.

The UK rail system is fucked. My wife was getting a train from Derby to Preston. I dropped her off, train arrived late. She missed her connection in Sheffield. Had to pay for a later train, although one of the trains was cancelled due to trespassers on the line. 1/2

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Driving along the A6004, Loughborough. Every, and I mean every, lamppost has either a England or Union flag attached. A friend asked what I thought about it. Well in all my years I have only experienced similar for a parade, one that is special due to the cost 1/n

Every year, billions of vehicles worldwide shed an estimated 6 million tonnes of tire fragments. These tiny flakes of plastic, generated by normal driving, account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally. Heavy vehicles eg SUVs/EVs especially. Via @us.theconversation.com

BBC still finding it difficult to mention a driver was involved. Even the headline is misleading. E-bike rider in critical condition after Grimsby crash - BBC News share.google/4iZg9pWZdOTl...

So I looked into The Green Party near me. Loughborough being the nearest. The official website was old stock images. share.google/idykKdnOZN4x... A search engine showed Loughborough does indeed have a Green party, but is active on FB. Why? I don't use that shitty platform.

Neil is not on the payroll...

A village near me. Shepshed has gone bonkers. Pretty much every pole has either a England or Union flag attached. Glad I don't live there tbh.

Morning bicycle commute. An older gentleman shuffling across a side street. A drivist turns from the main road, stops, blares their horn at the guy. I stopped cycling, shouted very loudly, 'oi'! We made eye contact. I then shouted 'you arsehole'. He slowly drove away. Older guy looked confused.

Lou Haigh 👏. It is well past time Labour recognise the OBR is George Osbourne’s undemocratic zombie hand on finances and reform how it works. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Bridget Phillipson, "Labour believes there needs to be reform to the ECHR" Trevor Philips, "You want to see changes in the ECHR?" Bridget Phillipson, "Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is looking at Article 8 Provisions to see if they need updating" *Article 8: Right for private and family life*

Many councils in the UK have said that they won't paint over the red crosses on mini roundabouts. I wonder what they would do if someone painted these roundabouts white, or rainbow? In Shepshed, Lecs. Every lamppost has a flag. Does this mean I can attach whatever I want to a lamppost?

Remember that all these people proudly showing their bigotry and racism. They have always had these views, but have now been emboldened by msm to spout them. Social embarrassment no longer exists.

I’m looking forward to another round of Two Words challenges! I’ll be taking on as many players as I can, so do join me, whether you’re an old hand or new to the game. Details for joining to follow on the day. twowords2.page.link/play

This was my gateway to horror.

The UK is getting overrun with flag-shaggers. I wonder what flag I could put up in protest. I obviously don't mind real patriotism of course, but I doubt very many are being put up out of patriotic sentiments.

Imagine killing someone and only getting a sentence of unpaid work! search.app/EjRw3

Yeah we have cycling infra.. This is shared use AND bidirectional. This is not wide enough for 2 people to walk side-by-side in most of the track length. The road to the right is very wide with ghost buffers. It is also has a easier gradient.

Wife just asked me why is it that people can vandalise roundabouts and crossings with red spray without public disgust but holding up a card supporting Palestine, and clearly against terrorism gets you arrested?

Just seen an article by Bobbinbikes explaining rules for using UK cycle lanes. Apparently cyclists are legally required to use cycle lanes with solid white lines.

Going to share this here as the government website only links to the problematic SM feeds. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...
