Ouch. The dotted line is Brexit. The Tories + Brexit absolutely rocketed immigration, and mostly from non EU countries. However the UK will now pay the price by letting in Reform MP's who will unleash their traitorous efforts to turn this country into 1930's Germany. Disaster.

Girls & women should be very concerned about the risks they have to face on a daily basis, especially risks of sexual attack from men. However it should be clear that the risk from trans women is minuscule when compare to men. I don't believe this is a misogynistic view, its counting the numbers.

Nigel Farage. A man of the people?

The McDonald Island penguins are considering their next strategic move in the tariff wars, having already successfully forced Trump into a humiliating 90 day climb down...

I was just saying the other day.....

Anyone else notice the use of a Tesla Model 3 in the 3rd episode on the new season of The Handmaid's Tale driving in Gilead's New Bethlehem town. I wonder if Commander Musk approves.

If you wanted to short the stock market on a massive scale to make a fortune for billionaires on top of their existing fortunes, then you would do exactly what Trump has done this week. Who pays? The poor and hard working.

Congrats to Germany, France and China for reducing their support for financing Musk's nazification of the USA. However no idea what is going on in the UK for February. Maybe a bunch of Reform UK voters got their annual bonuses.

I think American mushrooms is my favourite entry in the US FDA food standards doc. Not only will you be able to count the number of maggots in a tin of mushrooms on 4 hands, you'll be able to measure their length and fish around in the mite infested and rotten goo of mushroom yuckiness:

For those contemplating the importing of chlorinated chicken from the US, please check out the US FDA acceptable food defect list: Insect filth Insect larvae Insect eggs Rodent filth Mammalian excreta Rot Mold Maggots US food standards are rancid.

I feel sorry for all those well meaning Tesla owners who thought buying an EV was helping the planet, when in fact they were just financing the Nazification of America.

For anyone who can't understand why Brexit has been so comprehensively damaging to the UK. Here are the numbers:

Brexit benefits. And still the Brexit charlatans will keep telling you the lies. So many years on and not one. Not one Brexit benefit either enumerated or delivered. Just lost growth, lost exports, and a reduced standing in the world. A disaster delivered by grifters.

Soaring rents and evictions fuel a 14% rise in homelessness across England, with over 354,000 people—including 161,500 children—affected, says Shelter. London sees one in 47 homeless, while national solutions demand urgent investment in affordable housing.

Eight years ago, still not one single benefit, but a cost that has set the UK back by a generation. History will not be kind to the architects of Brexit who have betrayed our country and will always be judged as traitors.

Just checking if the EU failed yet. Nope.

I have a practical and cost effective solution. We try the last 5 Prime Ministers and then imprison them. We could even build them a special prison...in Rwanda.

What's the analysis here: UK electorate is around 50M, so only 6% of voters signed the petition. Of course not all 2.9M were UK residents, or genuine real people signing up. However it doessuggest that up to 6% of the UK population, are extremely susceptible to being conned by right wing liars.

With Farage / Reform endlessly stoking up the immigration issue, how far along the 10 steps to genocide are we willing to allow these fascist shysters go? For a moment, just consider yourself in 1930's Germany, where one noisy fascist managed to win a minority in the Reichstag.

We just have to hope this is the majority view of decent people. He is correct, and the path to full out Nazism is paved with shills like Farage who say its not until its too late.

Starmer is undoubtedly an order of magnitude more decent & competent than any Tory PM in the last 15 years However he must rue the day he wrote his 6 tests for a successful Brexit And still in 2024, not 1 single Brexit benefit has been either defined or delivered. It's been a catastrophic disaster

Lest we forget

At PMQs Badenoch says "The country needs conviction politicians, not politicians with convictions" ...which raises the question of why she was never convicted under the The Computer Misuse Act 1990 for admitting to hacking an MP's website.
