Well, the Liverpool attacker who drove his car into kids appears to be a Farage, Tate & Musk fanboy. Wonder if he voted Reform? As he’s white The Mail depicts him as a middle class dad who lived in a cul de sac and must’ve “panicked in the moment”. If he’d been brown the far right would’ve rioted

New Short! - A long one (2min17secs) I pointed my camera at a busy Amsterdam cycle path and captured dozens of Dutch locals and tourists alike on all sorts of bicycles, simply going about their day. It’s a fascinating glimpse into everyday cycling life in the Netherlands. youtube.com/shorts/94hcu...

18 people killed by gunman in Dunblane - private gun ownership effectively banned in UK. 7 people killed by dogs - dangerous breeds banned. 240 people killed by knifemen - zombie knives banned. 29,000 people killed or maimed by car drivers - shrug of shoulders, tragic accidents aren’t they?

The UK has the highest energy costs in world, this is despite being completely self sufficient. In the 1970's we had the lowest Energy costs in Europe. But that was before all of our Oil and Gas was sold to Margaret Thatcher's mates for a pittance.

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

I for one am shocked that a man who only turned up for one Fisheries meeting out of 42 when he was an MEP would decide to go on holiday when Parliament was sitting, rather than during the 18 weeks it is closed.

To those talking about 'Brexit surrender' - talk to this dipshit. He's the one who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, selling out farming & fishing, erecting huge barriers to trade and making everyone worse off. Just because he fancied a bash at being PM. Twat.

Immigration has soared since Brexit. So the claim that Brexit would curb immigration has proven to be nonsense. We are importing more workers from developing countries where families are larger, and the very large wage differences will tend to encourage those workers to stay longer.
