Happy Fragile Straight Man Month!

Los Angeles looks a like a warzone right now. Trump has deployed ICE agents in full tactical gear driving armored vehicles and carrying riot shields, rifles, shotguns, and more. Citizens are being hit with tear gas and being thrown to the ground. It’s horrific.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be *the* story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

8 June 1875 | A Czech Jewish woman, Kamila Kapellnerová, was born in Roudnice nad Labem. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Theresienstadt on 18 December 1943. She did not survive.

In his first term, it was the myth of the savvy businessman. As he ran for his second, it was the myth of the "strong leader." But now, Trump’s entire persona is crumbling in real-time as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.

The NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who is a permanent resident in New York City and left her poor frightened 12 year old daughter on the street alone. She was released approximately six hours later. This is the fearful state of America.

I feel like the President of the United States threatening a private citizen if they support the rival political party should be a big story? - “If he does, he’ll have to pay the consequences for that,” Trump told NBC News. “He’ll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,” he added. -

Trump vs. Musk, the psychiatrist: “Clash between two narcissistic egomaniacs”

A brilliant list, but sadly most of those people clearly couldn't be bothered to vote... The rest of the World would be hard-pressed to accept these figures, we get the impression that each percentage could be reversed...72% apparently don't own a gun, but seems more like 27%!

"Musk is a greedy kleptocrat whose life’s work boils down to stealing from the poor to pad his own bottom line. That’s his legacy. He could’ve changed the world for the better; he had every resource available to him to do so. Instead, he made it markedly worse."

Anyone saying ‘DEI’ here in the UK is telling you very directly where their hate is imported from.

🚨🚨 Today's under-reported but quite significant #brexit news: UKG government will scrap border checks on fruit and veg imported from the #EuropeanUnion in an early move to ease trade ahead of its new SPS (sanitary and phytosanitary) deal with the EU. 🧵 www.gov.uk/government/n...

Enough of this racist fiction. Enough. Not a single non-white person in England is in a job in the NHS *because* they are non-white. Not a single one. And as for the idea that England's criminal justice system goes easy on non-white people because they are non-white. Well. Just think about that.

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

Another hateful little twat to add to the blocklist. @moderation.bsky.app

Nigel Farage wants attention for *saying* he’d scrap the 2-child benefit cap. But in the vote against it, did he show up? No. Zero Reform MPs voted against the cap in July. Green MPs put it in our costed manifesto, signed the motion, and voted to scrap it. Actions not words.

‘Brexit was a terrible solution to the problem of English identity. It did nothing to allow ordinary people to "take back control" of their lives.’ So, people remain powerless and angry. And Farage (who championed this failure) now exploits their anger for power. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

I'd never have put VAT on private school fees if I'd known it would lead to some families struggling to afford five holidays a year.

Reading the 🤯 Berlin Diary, the contemporaneous account of a foreign correspondent, by William Shirer: "Goring has told the Daily Mail, which through Lord Rothermere, its owner,... pro Nazi - has become a wonderful Nazi sounding-board..." Some things never change.

Stanley Johnson, "It's certainly not a surrender deal. Is it good for Britain? It might have been much much better for Britain, if it had gone further if it had gone faster" Says the man whose son took us out of the European Union and caused the division that we're all suffering from 🤷‍♂️

Can I be really honest? For years I felt very intimidated by creating videos, because the trolling I received on Twitter was so intense that I couldn’t bear to show my face. On one occasion I was trolled so badly that the trolling ‘trended’ … This is what happens when you speak truth to power…

Public pressure works! Keep it going.

Stanley Johnson criticises Labour for not being closer to the EU Then Stanley Johnson says the UK needs to get as close to the EU without going back into the EU Single Market Father like son, both want their cake and to eat it, while the country is poorer because we aren't in the EU Single Market

This hits hard.

Kemi Badenoch: “I came to the UK with my dad’s last £100, working at McDonald’s - look where I am now.” Trevor Phillips: “12 points adrift in the polls, that’s where you are.”
