When Australian reporters are being shot at by US officials - for merely doing their jobs - then maybe it's time for the IOC and FIFA to urgently review their decisions to hand the Olympics and one third of the World Cup to Trumpsville.

A start, but long over due. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Chines They are always at it.. no one is immune. Already had a visit this morning from 182.42.104.32 in Inner Mongolia at a place call Hohhot. Probably a dodgy hosting company or something pretending to be a hosting company. www.theregister.com/2025/06/09/c...

Dictators and wannabe dictators don't like the press that they can't influence. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not looking good over the pond. From that other platform

I'm an 'O' have given armfuls in the past, they turned up at my place of work. Not any more, now you have to travel miles. The booking system is poor. We should be using local collages, schools, village halls. It needs to be better organised. LAs could help to! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

US aggression versus EU membership: The UK must choose stability over Trump’s chaos 👏👏👏

Because the insurrectionists weren’t a threat to him on J6—they were following his orders.

Westminster City Council needs to look into this as the restaurant many have some sort of vermin problem. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I can hear it now, Reform 'carrying on' about the EU standardising the size of bags. Seriously, its long overdue partially when you have a connection that's with a different airline. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Round 3 Oh dear, it looks like this is going to end up in a very messy divorce. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Round 2 is going well. How childish can taco man get?

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Lapsa and Gardiner said the Tory party had changed and they felt "let down by so many broken promises". Oh boy aren't they going to be disappointed! Plus deserting their party for another is a broken promise to the electorate, they should call for a by-election. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Private jet: London to Aberdeen Helicopter: Aberdeen to Hamilton Helicopter: Hamilton to Glasgow Airport Private jet: Glasgow to London Who paid for this 6 hour jaunt across the border? Who thought it was good value for money? #YouYesYet Scotland?

The Russia Report was released, but heavily redacted. It won’t be released in unredacted form. More importantly - it’s now obsolete & too narrow in scope for the current threat environment. What we need now is a comprehensive review of all foreign interference in UK democracy.

This needs to be sorted. Building regs for new builds really should enforce this. If you thinks this is a fuss about nothing then you should try delivering a few hundred letters. What exacerbates the issue when they have draft excluders which require more force. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"f you truly want to help bees during this critical time, the best thing you can do is offer clean, safe water. Place a shallow dish outside filled with fresh water, adding small stones or twigs so bees can land safely without drowning." via I Love Bees

We’ve gone from 25% steel tariffs, to 0%, up to 50%, and now back to 25%. We’ve all seen this routine before. Trump causes chaos, Nigel nods along, and British workers pay the price. It’s time the government got serious about trade with our European and Commonwealth allies.

Well that told taco man.

Well that told taco man.

It's called the Dunning Kruger effect. But sometimes it's known as dumbfuckery.

Just love the dark arts, nice one. probably still running Windows NT 3.1 unpatched www.theregister.com/2025/06/04/u...

I used to work with a guy called Teflon (nothing sticks) John. He would promise all sorts but never delivered just like taco boy. The amateur Trump needs to decide if he is with the free world or he continues to be Putin's bitch. The sooner we know the better. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

FIFA should think seriously about the world cup in 2026. Games scheduled in the US need to be moved of of the US. With quotes like “subject to revisions based on whether material improvements are made”. Taco mans volatile decisions will see the world cup ruined. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Putin: "Who even negotiates with those who bet on terror?" Says the man who has launched a full-scale war against another country and attacks civilians every day.

Reform UK’s Councillor Jodie Brown runs a Facebook page for Long Eaton Reform. Here she’s posted a made up conspiracy: www.facebook.com/story.php?st... Derbyshire CC should investigate what their councillor is putting out on social media as it’s bringing their brand in to disrepute.
