Brexit: “that great victory for the sovereign right to cock things up”… give ourselves food poisoning, lose control, swamp ourselves in red tape, pay more for stuff and stubbornly isolate ourselves from our own continent… A relentless, ruinous stupidity. (Private Eye)

The majority of the public is unaware of Sunak and Starmer's free zones rollout, they're less aware of what the next step is, I'm talking about charter cities. A charter city is a type of city in which a guarantor from a developed country would create a city within a developing host country. Brexit

I heard RFK Jr. is floating the banning of the polio vaccine so seems like a good time to remind folks that RFK Jr. was vaccinated with this same vaccine & therefore is at no risk of harm himself Kinda like when he publicly was against the covid vaccine yet privately required his guests to have it🙃

The GE petition that’s got 417k signatures is fake. As in, bots. It got 300k signatures OVER NIGHT. And the activity graph is incredibly uniform. This is a manipulation, and I’ll be interested what the parliamentary petitions committee investigation will be like.
