Quite a lot can be explained by the plain fact that our leaders and their hangers on are *enraged* that they can’t send people to prison for doing things that aren’t illegal, and they see this as a very serious problem that needs to be resolved, urgently.

King Charles personal wealth of £2 Billion+ Monarchy assets £25bn+ Public funding £132m+ per year. His "Pull Together" speech was broadcast into millions of homes where people are struggling to pay bills and delivered from the glitter and gold of Westminster Abbey. The disconnect is staggering.

Greta Thunberg arrested for holding a sign opposing genocide. When peaceful protest is a crime, democracy is in deep trouble. Happening under a Labour Government.

I'm very happy for Reginald D. Hunter. The CAA did their utmost to destroy them. I hope he sues. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

CAA gets a well deserved bloody nose from judge.

Ian Rush. Out of hospital. On the mend.

BBC Wales have just broadcast this msg from Ian Rush.

Note the language: • When Israel announces 19 new Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, the use of the word "approves" and the absence of the word "illegal". • When Putin annexes Crimea, the word "illegal" is in the headline. • The BBC is giving tacit approval to #IsraeliTerrorism. 😠

Tis the season to be jolly....

@theliverpoolway.bsky.social Life comes at you fast. You've witnessed your husband being brutally murdered in America.. but a few months later you're given a free ticket to the darts at the Ally Pally.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

No idea if you’ve missed the Xmas post deadline to buy Nanna my fucking book, but no worry cos the 10% discount code WALLIAMS lasts until New Years Eve. Meanwhile, here’s a Fat White Family member in a festive woolly, cradling my masterpiece. More top content like this on Insta @wernerherzogmeets

Gary Neville incisive football analysis after this afternoons game.. "Aston Villa are living their best life" I'd rather not Google the money the idiot gets paid.

How showbusiness 'journalism' really works

Jo Cox was murdered before the vote by a far-right terrorist & this is the language this complete disgrace chooses to use

The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up. A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

After listening to this 7 minutes of music its hard not think it a shame Little Richard didn't believe in himself a bit more. Wasn't quite so shy and reserved. Ah well. youtu.be/ulbJiDiz6uI?...

Day off. Taped last night's cricket ready to have a day on the sofa watching England smash those Aussies. Looking forward to this.

So finally this weary football supporter looked to see what “xG“ - “expected goals” - actually meant. What were these impressive sounding, precise statistics being banded about by ever-so-earnest, knowing pundits? The answer? Utter pseudo-scientific subjective flapdoodle.

The greatest thing to happen in 2025 has been the return of Worcester Sauce flavoured crisps

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid. Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊

The Labout Party truly is Margaret Thatcher's greatest achievement, as they happy to let hunger strikers die.
