Cynical old Cornishman. Rejoin EU! Labour voter but thinking of going Green. Pessimistic. Thinks we will be ruled by Fascists or AI. Hope I am wrong!

🚨 Thames Water 💬 We can all see that the privatisation of water has been a disaster. We now need to stop to companies like Thames Water treating workers and communities with contempt once and for all. This fine for paying out dividends is just too little, too late. 1/2 ⤵️

Me: “I slept with my third cousin.” Therapist: “You’re counting them?”

This aged well…

Following his holiday in France while Parliament was sitting, Nigel Farage is now back and hard at work again, speaking at a Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas.

If only the Germans had a word for it.

The fascist tapeworm’s “pledges to slash taxes don’t add up, top economists warn” Reincarnating, would-be lettuce. ReFUK. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Tesco complaining about shoplifting should strip out all self service tills and replace them with manned checkouts. Next!

Bikini shopping for summer is nature’s way of reminding you that nachos were a choice.

The biggest change Tommy is planning is to give up right wing thuggery and form a Dubliners tribute act.

The lesson Nigel Farage took from Brexit is that if you make unrealistic, clearly impossible promises, offer simplistic solutions to complex problems and blame immigrants for everything, people will vote for you, then not blame you when it turns out to be horse shit.

Re Trump 'This too will pass" - Arab saying.

Thames Water have been fined £123 million due to their 'unacceptable' impact on the environment. But as long as the profit motive remains, water companies will keep ripping off customers and polluting our water. Time for water companies to be run for people, not profit.

The cosy thing about opposition is that you can say whatever you bloody like - make all kinds of un costed claims. #Farage.

Found out today that a lady at work's husband took his own life last week. They've just moved house, and recently had a fantastic holiday with their daughter. Whatever demons tormented him finally got the better of him. Take care of each other. 🫂💚

A thing that is funny about this guy is he sneers at pundits yet everything he says, right down to the hedging, is the most standard conventional wisdom imaginable:

"And then he said, ‘Canada is going to pay for my "Golden Dome"!''

“We’re looking for Osama bin Laden, so I can issue him a pardon. He was treated very unfairly.”

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

Or, as Farrukh showed in another post yesterday, if MP salaries had grown the same rate as junior doctors, nurses and teachers since 2010, Wes Streeting would now be earning about £19,000 less. Who do YOU think deserve £19,000 a year extra? Junior doctors, nurses & teachers, or MPs?

Got to love it when they tell on themselves. The leader of the Tories has admitted the genocide of Gaza is in the UKs interests. Just as Ukraine is. #FreePalestine🇵🇸

Farage posed today as a friend to working people. That speech? A stunt. Reform don’t fight for workers - they vote against them. Reform MPs opposed every single protection in the Employment Rights Bill: ❌ Fair pay ❌ Secure jobs ❌ Union rights Call them out: labourunions.org.uk/stop-reform/

We know from the Insurrection that America's institutions are breached and when the GOP Declared the Jan 6th Attack Legitimate Political Discourse; We know that America is sick. This was not a movie. The Devil We Know getbook.at/DarkPlanet #TrumpIsACriminal

We suffer walking miles To keep it together Daily grind to battle demons As their fake smile Buries our Soul All hope scrutinized In our depression to break us Provoke our insanity They predict violence Perpetrated By their policies Release our beast of burden restrains our VOICES OF PROTEST

"And the people bowed and prayed, to the Orange God they made"......

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:

Today is the day we honor those who died overseas stopping the same thing many of you are ignoring here at home--fascism.

Turn this all the way up to 11!!! BANGER!!
