Agree strongly with this.
Zuckerberg and Musk will survive without the support of the FBU.
X is an openly fascist website, and Meta is data harvesting your members.

Remember there's a tracker where you can follow the Madleen, the more eyes on this ship the safer a journey!

Well, they can deny it and do, but they can't refute it. It's factual.

Starmer can't 'root out' blue labour because that's who put him where he is.

GMB today, treating Farage like a serious person rather than the obvious grifter he is, complete with Churchillian posed picture and gushing praise for his response to Starmers pathetic effort yesterday.

I was hoping to get a few more for my block list when I clicked on the original, but so far every reply is calling them cunts in one way or another 😄

A modern "Rivers of Blood" speech, just yesterday, is already down to the fifth story on the BBC website.

I know you used accidentally to make the point, but it doesn't seem accidental to me. Starmer and Mcsweeny know exactly what they're doing. As the son of Irish immigrants, this is the sort of language and behaviour that my parents told me about from the 60's.

I'm from the North Midlands, and the mid-day meal/break is dinner. Breakfast, dinner, tea as other posters have said. If I'm in conversation with anyone from the South, however, I can easily convert to lunch. 🙂

I don't know if you've read the whole article but it's an anti Palestinian cover story. Trying to frame genuine disgust at the ongoing genocide as Russian and Chinese bot activity.

I clicked through, and the first picture is a headstone! 😄 I thought that's funny and self effacing, scrolled down and was pleased to see a great pic of you. Congrats.

Loved the whole thing. I usually do political and media podcasts, but I'm glad I picked this up. Creepy and entertaining in equal measure. Having lived in rural Essex, it felt really familiar, not in a comforting way, thanks.

That must have been quite eerie. This wasn't visible to the naked eye is just a camera quirk.

Not just the media either! Starters apologists on here and elsewhere are excruciating.
