My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

Absolutely.

Apparently people are once again asking who's at fault here. We can improve road safety dramatically by revoking the driver's licence of everyone who thinks it's the cyclist's fault.

Seemed?! Dude was in REM sleep while the Cabinet talked about national security. Drowsy Don didn’t just nod off he was one Werther’s Original away from full grandpa-at-Thanksgiving energy.

Could not say it any better. 👇🏿👇👇🏼👇🏽

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

My prediction. The Epstein files will not be released. They will be leaked. By a woman as there are no brave men left.

You can't make this shit up! Blowing up fishermen from Venezuela under the guise they are smuggling drugs, yet pardoning former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted of drug trafficking. Future generations will ask, why the Fuck did you let Trump destroy the country?

Am I alone in loathing & detesting christmas! The 'faux bonhommie', the overwhelming excesses in food & drink, the fact that the £ millions spent on it could be far better spent, the fact that it celebrates an event that is entirely irrelevant to most people's belief systems today!

Badenoch - the genius who’s driven her party straight into oblivion. Since she became leader, they’ve never polled above 20%. They scraped 2% in Wales in the last by-election, and she still thinks she’s got the authority to demand Rachel Reeves resign? Shut up, Badenoch.

I do winter-cleaning rather than spring-cleaning. This involves removing the deep clutter from my desk to reach the oak surface underneath, then scrubbing off the litter of adhered swatted fly corpses and their deconstructed body parts along with any adhered food particles that may also be present!

…..enough said!

Epstein files.....

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Not a dickie on Gill taking Russian bribes, she didn’t want to offend Farage and Reform

This suggests that porn consumers in the UK are so thick that they are unable to figure out that a VPN would solve all their problems! Either that or accesses are not down but are simply via a VPN that would appear to the site like a connection from anywhere BUT the UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

The UK (& empire) was the only country in the war fighting Germany / Italy from the first day to the last

It would make the job of the police much easier if car insurance worked like it does here in Luxembourg. All cars are automatically insured "any driver" - none of this named driver bullshit! news.sky.com/story/worst-...

I want to know what is going on! We have nasturtiums, gladioli, foxgloves, cosmos, dahlias, gaillardia and petunias all bravely flowering and we have already had the first few frosts! I'm over in Luxembourg where it is generally colder than in the UK.

As Tony Benn said " … “I don't think people realise how the establishment became established. They simply stole land & property from the poor, surrounded themselves with weak minded sycophants for protection, gave themselves titles & have been wielding power ever since!” #WATO #NotMyKing

People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

Once you’re in and you see the party for what they are, if you have any kind of decency, you’re gonna want out.

I emailed the local authority in the UK where I used to live in the UK to ask if there was any chance of being offered any sort of council housing as I am about to be made homeless overseas & am going to find it very hard to get other housing here. The form I have to complete runs to 18 pages!

Think today is a good day to repost this wee gem. Labour will need to get a move on if they want to match the Tories scandals.

Dominic Cummings pushed for Covid tech contracts to be handed to a company run by a Trump-supporting billionaire after holding a secret meeting with him alongside Boris Johnson. Officials were lobbied to ignore official procedures and bypass ministers in order to get the contracts signed

Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right about this. At the time she hacked Harriet Harman's emails it was an offence carrying a prison sentence of up to five years

Sad to hear Prunella Scales has died. Fawlty Towers was the only comedy show that has ever had me rolling on the floor holding my sides, I was laughing so much. That was Basil giving his car a "damned good thrashing" in the episode that was I believe called "The gourmet meal"

We've listened to it so you don't have to

AT LAST!!! So they finally nailed a traitor - not before time! #CelebrityTraitors

Given the party's refusal to act on Pochin's brazen racism, it should be as socially unacceptable to vote for Reform as it was in the early 2000s to vote for the BNP. And we should be prepared to say this to people's faces.

Truth..

I was reading about some celeb's 2nd or 3rd divorce. It made me wonder why people who had had a failed marriage then promptly go and do it again! These days no one gives a shit if you're married or not so why give yourself the legal headaches that divorce implies if it doesn't work out!
