Just trying to think of a country with massive bot farms that is desperately trying to suppress this story. Please read and repost 👇🏼

INDISPUTABLE FACTS: •Russia invaded Ukraine. •Ukraine bears no responsibility for Russia’s invasion. •Russian aggression is a threat to the entire world. •We stand with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. We stand w/all the people of Ukraine. Follow all: WE ARE THE OPPOSITION. go.bsky.app/AMZH6uh

We may have left the EU in 2016 after lies, misinformation, and promises of prosperity that have not materialised Luckily for us, the EU isn't that far away, it's just next door Anyone else want the UK 🇬🇧 to rejoin the EU 🇪🇺 ?

Interesting insight to the Tory Party's attitude to morals and money (Private Eye back pages). It regards £440k donation(1985-90) from the convicted fraudster Asil Nadir. They said they would return the money on his conviction but never did because "they received it in good faith."

James O'Brien played on his show today an exchange between Tobias Ellwood, a former Lieutenant colonel in the 77th Brigade and Boris Johnson, the now disgraced former PM. The arrogance of Johnson as he argued how modern warfare will be fought is staggering, dismissing any need for tanks and armour

Brilliant. Should be played outside any meeting attended by Farage. BBC take note. This is how you speak truth to power. youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

This is what patriotism looks like. Chris Kluwe, a former NFL player was arrested after speaking out against plans to install a MAGA plaque at a Southern California library. What a legend. The irony is that it’s unlikely a MAGA supporter has ever set foot in a library.

Saw Farage on Sky News and enjoyed see him wriggle and squirm like a spiked pig as he was called out on Trumps lies about Ukraine and Zelensky. As usual he resorted to double speak, every word laced with ambiguity. Johnson. Truss, Farage; why can't we Brits see through them.

Seen footage of Putin puppet Farage strutting up and down the stage at the CPAC gathering the US (again) doing what he does best: inflating his own self importance. Should we feel sympathy for the poor sods who seat through this guff or our they truly deserving of our contempt.

Absolute Prof Tim Wilson tour de force currently on Youtube as he delivers an excoriating assessment of Liz Truss. "Truss is as clear as a naked lightbulb in a spare room and it is time to turn it off because the room has been empty for years." Almost Shakespearian in its concise beauty.

When the tariffs bite and the deportations take effect, Americans will find out just what they voted for. Expensive petrol (gas), metals and food while all those essential, but low paid, jobs won't get done.

I am surprised at Trump opening the rift with Ukraine. I thought he would have saved this smoke screen for later when his terrible policies begin to impact on the average American. As the madness unfolds I find myself feeling a modicum of pity for the American people. This can only end badly.

They say give anyone too much rope and they'll hang themselves. Let's hope Trump proclaiming himself king proves to be the few extra metres necessary for his ultimate demise.

Never forget what this Putinett said

This is fun!

You can put Telegraph in the same bracket as the Morning Star when it comes to prioritising the interests of foreign authoritarian regimes over British and European interests

Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, April 13, 1919, British troops fire on a large crowd of unarmed Indians in Amritsar Blowing from a gun execution of Indian rebels 1857. But hey-ho we are so civilised. Utter white supremacist claptrap.

If only 6.4% of children are in private schools why do private school fees appear in the shopping basket used to measure inflation.

President's Day Protest in Washington. The decent people in America getting their act together but is it too late?

Private Eye again with the story behind the headline. Rachel Reeves expenses allegation flagged up by ex HBOS exec. Kev Gillet, a man seemingly with a grudge against Labour. His rants include: "Evil evil socialists, F the socialists, Thank F I live in Portugal." Hardly methinks a reliable witness.

A bit late but its time to build that European army.

The Real BBC ‘Impartiality Crisis’ Is Its Constant Platforming of Hard Right Tufton Street Think Tanks – Byline Times

Lib-Dims being very disingenuous with the claim that 25% of farms have disappeared. They haven't gone. They have been snapped up by bigger farms and wealthy people looking to park their money in an inheritance tax haven. If Davey can't campaign on real issues, he should stick to paddle boarding.

Has Trump finally revealed himself to be the real Manchurian Candidate? Fact now weirder than fiction. We teeter on the brink of a new Dark Age.

Stand up for free speech says the leader of the party who imposed a range of restraints on an individual, including preventing them from being in a particular place or area, participating in disruptive activities and being with protest groups at given times. Public Order Act 2023.
