I miss old budgets where the big news items were tuppence of a pack of fags, and 10p on a gallon of petrol - all from 6pm that evening #peston

Greece and Italy are in the euro zone though - sort of makes sense their debt will be cheaper #peston

Maria Caulfield is totally out of her depth on basic reality but then reality matters little to these Reform grifters #Peston

So Reform is saying take an understaffed NHS, sack all the brown people, replace them with "domestically trained" staff. You still end up with an understaffed NHS 🤔 #peston

How much of that debt interest comes back to the Govt through debt held by the BoE? #Peston

Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart

Such an interesting documentary from Dr Chris van Tulleken…on finding and tackling the next pandemic virus! #DiseaseX

I suspect it would be very difficult for a penguin virus to spread to a predatory polar bear #DiseaseX

Deport? Nah mate, Cunt is the most popular word in British Politics

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

the one place i find common ground with fundamentalist christians is that we're both praying that all the fundamentalist christians disappear from the planet tomorrow

They probably drank water too but no one is looking into this because big aqua got to them

Such an evil c*nt.

Hash browns are the grey squirrel of the breakfast world. An American import that's driven out the native and noble fried slice.

Why are UK news channels covering Horst Wessell's funeral shebang?

Bring these public information films back

LONELY WATER (1973): Legendary child-frightener, and one of the most influential and effective PIFs ever made. Donald Pleasence's voice helped lower the number of child deaths by drowning and opened the door to the scary, deadly PIFs of the 70s & 80s. A folk horror film condensed into 90 seconds.

Horst Wessel's funeral was a big production number, too.

Watching the Germans on #FawltyTowers - mad to think when this was made, the war was like the 90s is today

Crust, it’s called crust ffs.

AWOD: “We could take 'im." MrPip: "Yes young padwan, but then we'd only have one bacon buttie. If we continue to fawn over him, we shall have a continuous supply of treats and walkies." AWOD: "You are wise master." MrPip: "Yes. ... He is a cunt though."

An ode to @wulfhelm.bsky.social The terrible thing about Wülfhelm Is Wülfhelm's a terrible thing His hat is made out of iron And his bollocks are made out of tin He's clangy, cranky, clunky, clanky When he's pissed we feel the brunt But the most terrible thing about Wülfhelm is He's a fucking cunt

Didn’t the Soviets build Bagram?

The salmon runs at Katmai this year were so plentiful the bears got round EARLY and with no need to fight with each other for food! Yay!!! :) Fat bear week starts September 23rd! Official bracket releases on the 22nd! www.npr.org/2025/09/19/n...

Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Bagram Air Base was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s. What an idiot.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave. And they should not need to be told this.

Remember the Government Alert test a couple of weeks ago? In Finland, & other places on or close to the Russian border their Governments are advising citizens to prepare at least 3 days food & emergency power solutions. It's War. Just one step at a time.

Phil's in too deep #totp

Probably not the best coping mechanism, but if it works for you, then go for it.

OMG!!!! 🗣️It’s a panda playing with their rubber duckies! 😍

I wanted the presidential election to go the other way. I think Harris/Waltz ran a good campaign. I'm bummed to see Harris second guessing and taking blame for the loss in her book. They were the better candidates. They lost because of big money influence, Russian interference, racism and misogyny.

The Russian Ambo was claiming the drones over Poland was a Ukrainian false flag. Let's see how he spins the fighters over Estonia. #SplashtheMigs

We deserve some joy. We deserve some FAT BEARS. NEXT WEEK NEXT WEEK!!!! Go Grazer Go you absolute unit! www.npr.org/2025/09/19/n...

I've learned to appreciate a lot of songs I didn't like back in the day. Mr Vain is not one of them. #totp

Right #totp -sters, see yas all next time. I'm off to give #FawltyTowers a go

Mr Vain was the worst of the Mr Men. #totp

I’d love to see a team-up between Chaka Demus & Pliers, Nine Inch Nails and MC Hammer. #TOTP

Oi, feet off the fucking furniture!!! #totp

Honestly this '93 ep is three for three so far, don't wanna jinx it but it might be that rare good 90s #totp

Third top track in a row? Are you messing with us Auntie Beeb? #totp

WTF, two classic tunes in a row on #totp

Why this was never used for the Visit Swindon ad campaign I will never know #TOTP
