Unashamed lefty, with a profound distaste for anything 'conservative' which to me means selfish and greedy.

I despair at the bovine stupidity of a significant number of the British electorate who find it possible to vote for a bag of gas with the intelligence of a dashboard nodding dog called Fartage.

After 24 years of Tory misery, how can we be surprised that the British are mentally screwed?

What is certain is that privatisation introduces corruption...

🚨BREAKING: New report shows private eye companies treating NHS patients are putting their profits before patient care. Take 1 minute to send our letter to your MP: weownit.org.uk/act-now/save...

It's the sympton of a population mourning a dying empire, and unwilling to let go. Very sad & pathetic.

I will never understand why the British voted to keep themselves in a prison, and not a very nice one. Maybe they are just bovinely stupid.

James, a woman cannot accurately describe to a boy what a man should be, only what she, as a woman would want in a man. But want a woman says she wants is often far from what she REALLY wants, and this is what confuses us men.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The Tories needed to put space between themselves and an NHS they were determined to ruin. Now government will once again take responsibility for our NHS.

James. I was once attacked (very gently) by a lion cub, which then turned its attention to my camera bag and proceeded to tear it to bits. Does this count? David.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social morning James. On this mornings' subject, 14 years of Tory government is enough to make any nation sick. David from Spain.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hi James. I raised my daughter, after leaving my wife, at a time when she was very strong willed. On two occasions I had to resort to smacking. But then and throughout her life she has known that she is loved. 60 years later we have an unbreakable bond. Love is the key.

James. The only war America won on its own was its civil war. The war of independence was won with the help of the French! David.

James. In 1964 I realised that Britain needed to be part of the EU, and today it's more important than ever. And now Britain could lead the EU!

James. If Israel condemns Russia for an illegal invasion, how can it defend its invasion of Gaza? David.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James. Thank you so much for your analysis of the Whitehouse debacle. You make clear that Zelensky has barely drawn breath without thanking America, but help actually provided by Biden and now threatened with withdrawal by those demanding thanks. David Britten.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hi James. It becomes ever more clear that Trump is either mentally ill or a Russian agent. David from Spain.

I'm sure she spends much of her life on her knees, but that isn't the case for the rest of us.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James. Trump is a snivelling appeaser to a ruthless dictator. We've been here before, and we know where this leads. David Britten.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James. When the press refers to the 'public', which public do you think they mean? Do you suppose it's the public that reads the right wing paper making the claim? David Britten from Spain.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James, given the famous ignorance of Americans, they are probably unaware that Ukraine is in Europe.. David Britten in Spain.

James. It was MacMillan, not Wilson.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm no expert James but, in my limited experience, it seems to me that those capable of evil acts of violence have for some time been eaten up with hatred. Hate is the cause of violence and should be treated as a serious mental condition.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Is there any surprise in a criminal pardoning criminals, or a lunatic drilling us into extinction? With Trump, Netanyahu and Putin ruling the world, lunatics have definitely taken over the asylum.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James, my son had a thriving business exporting Larp safe weapons to European customers. Brexshit destroyed it completely. Luckily he was able to transfer his skills to the movie business, but he would wish to resurrect his larp business, but that would need customs union.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hi James. Your question this morning is unlikely to get a large response. We know what Palestinians will return to; utter devastation. The real question is; will the Israelis allow them to return & will they be bombed if allowed to return? David Britten.

Free speech is anything that Suckerburg, Musket and Trumpet agree with. Anything else is fake.

Fartage is a gasbag with the appearance and intellect of a nodding dog.

James, a benign dictator would be the best option for Britain. But which dictator in history, no matter how they began, has not been corrupted by power? David Britten.

James, in response to your current conversation on belief. I grew up with a set of moral values that I believe are virtuous. I will not harm any person who does not share my beliefs, and I will only believe things that do not conflict with my moral values. This makes life quite simple. David Britten

@mrjamesob.bsky.social James, AI is no more than a global database, & is no more intelligent than that. Ask it a question & it will search the globe for an answer.

Honestly checking facts is very dangerous to chronically insecure people. So there you have it...

Anyone who still believes that the total obliteration of Gaza is retaliation for the Hamas attack is in the grip of complete delusion. It is now an hostile attack on a virtually powerless people and an international crime.

With December crime stats for London (Metropolitan Police) published today, I've had a quick look at homicide trends since 2003. Provisionally, the 105 homicides in 2024 was the lowest annual total since 2014 and second lowest in the last 22 years. #crimestats

Well, the Daily Bile would have been happy to hand Britain over to Hitler's Nazis, so what difference now?

Ignorance of actual facts is not a good basis for the expression of an opinion. Musk is ignorant and, in recognition of that fact, should just SHUT UP!!!

James, I have one piece of advice for women. When considering entering into a relationship with a man, first consider your relationship with your father. Most women seem to be drawn subliminently to men who have similar characteristics the their fathers, for better or bad.
