Siri… show me Donald Trump getting his Billy Smart’s Circus trousers pulled down by an actual statesman

What does it take to get a hunting conviction? Monumental levels of perseverance... open.substack.com/pub/protectt...

I have my own take on religion. When God decided to show up and tell us which is the right one to subscribe to then I’ll believe it has a purpose and I’ll give it some consideration, but until then, it causes lunacy like this

I couldn’t take the bad news anymore — so I did this.. open.substack.com/pub/protectt...

Says Boris Johnson, the man who was effectively the Minister for Nevilling Up given his total capitulation to the frothing Brexiteers in the Tory party despite him being a staunch remainer at heart Another jibbering galoot who won’t exit politics quietly. See also hatstand crazy Liz Truss

Really wonderful to see @andrewcopson.bsky.social honoured with an OBE! Andrew has worked tirelessly with @humanists.uk to help voices of non-religious people (most of us in UK) to be heard - creating tangible impacts in policy, human rights and education. humanists.uk/2025/06/13/a...

Terrible news Given Donald Trump’s putrid reaction to the horrific attack on Paul Pelosi, I dread to read his response to this tragic shooting, especially given that all roads lead to Trump’s rhetoric Praying for those who’ve survived What a dreadful way to kick off No Kings Day

Donald Trump’s ‘Gestaco’ 🌮

“I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Windsor Davies memes suddenly appeared…”

And Elon Musk wants to insert chips in people’s brains 🤷‍♂️

‘Thank you Israel’ Lizraeli Truss Liz Truss has now been down more rabbit holes than a hunter’s dog Excruciating

‘Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right Here I am Laughing at Middleton’s views…’ Be assured, nothing would render Nigel Farage more aroused than having squads of brown shirts terrorising the British public (presumably with their fashion sense) But he knows he’s got to play the game

It’s a testament to the abject stupidity that is Donald Trump’s America that these FBI agents don’t have the lateral thought to understand that Trump isn’t permanent

@riotgrandma.bsky.social Sorry for the DM Carol, just hoping you are OK, thinking of you. ❤️‍💙

‘Happy times together we’ve been spending I wish that every kiss was never ending And wouldn’t it be nice’ Genius who owned harmonies… 🙏🥰 youtu.be/f9keMETFIbk?...

Well done America 🙏

First observation… I thought Rod Hull was back from the dead… Secondly, I don’t think anyone should be surprised to find Nigel Farage’s Reform Party fielding a crank who wants to brand immigrants like they’ve just arrived on a cattle truck at Auschwitz Oh and ‘There’s somebody at the door’

My Pet Sounds record is one of the items I’d save in a house fire and it’s not even an original pressing. That’s how fucking extraordinary Brian Wilson was.

Just arrived home and seen the sad sad news Brian Wilson was an incredible talent, and Pet Sounds is up there with the finest albums of all time The sound of a generation God bless 🥰🙏

Who you gonna call ☎️ Coastbusters 👻

I would love it if @lisanandy did something and made subscription to BBC News an option rather than being grouped in the TV licence. I don't really watch TV, have no issue with other BBC output, but the news and current affairs is criminal

Blimey, the BBC trying to sound impartial - whatever next?!

Iceland: stop caging hens! 58,550 have signed Dame Joanna Lumley’s petition. Let’s get to 75,000! www.change.org/p/iceland-st... "That pledge was made before I joined, nothing to do with me". The exact words of Iceland supermarket chairman, Richard Walker

I’m devastated to hear that my friend Micky Lachmann has departed this life. He was a fantastic producer - bringing a keen intelligence and a real sense of exploration to documentaries - and he was a lovely person. My thoughts are with his family - especially his boys, who he loved so much.

‘What you’re witnessing in Los Angeles is a violent radical left invasion fuelled by immigrants and transgender, so I’ve sent in 2000 US Marines to quash the riots…’ Donald Trump… convicted rapist, failed insurrectionist, and probable pedophile…

New radiocarbon dates for the Dead Sea scrolls - some turning out to be a century earlier than previously thought - based on handwriting analyses. Very exciting for understanding politics, literacy and communities in ancient Judaea. apple.news/Af4MT5hPNRP2...
