I love gigs and groundhopping. Quite partial to whiskey and real ale too. Happily woke. Several not very careful owners and seen better days 😀 I may post without my reading glasses, so expect typos...

Hancock's Half Hour (15th April 1960). Tony's big night out with Muriel (Liz Fraser) doesn't go terribly well. "I've had better nights" "You've seen better days too, dear"

Excellent thread.

What a fucking moron.

I’m loving Chinese manufacturers airing luxury brand’s dirty laundry on TikTok. [Source: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTjRMTmyP/ ]

2025: Nigel Farage, "We've got the most expensive industrial electricity prices in the world" 2016: Daniel Hannan, "Outside the EU, our fuel bills will be cheaper"

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

Make it make sense

This. An emergency recall of parliament on a weekend for British Steel. Nothing at all for UK HE which employs far more people, has already shed 10,000 academic jobs, with several institutions on the brink of collapse. A reminder: we train all the doctors, teachers, engineers, nurses, lawyers &c &c

We remember

We had trade agreements around the world. We broke them. Now we have to renegotiate, in a rush, without expertise, with countries who know their interests and who cannot trust us. Here’s how that puts America First. by Peter Navarro

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

A brilliant new venue to add to our Manchester Merch Market adventure - SO many bands getting in touch, some BIG names to let you know about soon. Cities and venues all over the world asking for us to take The Merch Market there. Join us on Sunday May 25th in Manchester 🙌

By ‘noteworthy’, you mean, of course, ‘disgraceful’.

You need to watch this "ad" about Tesla and repost it -- it's powerful! #BoycottTesla #DestroyTesla www.youtube.com/shorts/ncA8L...

It’s sadly accurate.

Tomorrow’s White House visitor and accused war criminal.

Boycotting the grocery store until they start buying an equivalent volume of groceries from me

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Make no mistake, we will be seeing a massive stock market crash in the very near future possibly even tomorrow and it will be done deliberately by a criminal who knows nothing of business and everything about fraud and bankruptcy.

Have you seen this? 👇 Thanks, Seth! ✨

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Have you ever seen a crime where two people died and where one guy had his ear blown off and the story was snuffed out like this one? Not even medical reports on the two deceased and the ear. It’s like it never fucking happened.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Guess what is covered by the tariffs? Gadolinium for MRI contrast. Guess where most of it comes from? China. Guess what will happen to your healthcare costs? Are we great yet?

Biggest self-own ever to go from that to whatever this is today.

By raising tariffs, Donald Trump just unleashed the largest peacetime tax increase in American history. And you’re going to be paying for it.
