Something amazing happened to me yesterday. I went to a free concert at a local church - The Gustav Holst Ensemble - & half way through the second piece - Brahms Piano Quartet no. 3 - I noticed that tears were streaming down my face. A moment of absolute beauty. Never known anything like it.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social excuse you sir… here I am catching up on the pod of your show whilst doing some late night practice trying to forget the world’s woes; then I heard you say “he could probably do a job for Spurs” to a parent telling their kid they’ll never make it as a baller. Cheeky so and so.

Among the lost positives consigned to the dusty corners of the dictionary is ‘reck’, meaning ‘care’, ‘heed’, and ‘consideration’. Which means we can be reckful instead of reckless (and feckful, gormful, ruthful, ept, kempt, couth, consolate, and many more).

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

I feel like I might have to relocate to Canada in the long run. Far too many twats here from top to bottom.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

When non-Londoners stand there gawping at the tube map and feel the need to physically point at the bit they’re working out… It’s like watching someone use fingers to work out how many £5 items you can buy with £10 😆🤷🏼‍♂️

So tired of crosses hanging from the necks of people supporting cruelty, starvation, disease and fascism.

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security. More of this please.

Boy, it's almost like this guy went bankrupt 6 times.

Adolf Hitler helping one of his biggest donors sell a car in 1938. History doesn't change it just repeats.

So the arsehole-in-chief is suddenly keen on electric cars for a day is he? 🤨

Thanks to @greenjennyjones.bsky.social for joining our action against the Thames Water £3 billion rip off. It's time for BILL PAYERS to get a say over our water company. ✍️ Join the call for Thames to come into public ownership by signing our petition: weownit.org.uk/act-now/brin...

So this shower has: - convicted woman beater James McMurdock - 'patriotic' tax dodger Dick Tice - the Russian asset and all-round total cunt Nigel Farage - 30p Lee Anderson who was even too racist for the xenophobic remains of the Tory party ... and THIS guy ... WOW what a great team they have 🙄

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Let’s try to remove him before he causes more irreparable damage. Please sign if you can. chng.it/gLfwrh67m8

If you’re drawn to a politician because they promise to be cruel to Muslims or Jews or immigrants or gays or transgender people etc, the least you should do - the absolute, bare bones, still morally vacuous least - is ask yourself whether they’re likely to stop at the group you want to see targeted.

I say let Elon try and fly his next space ship. You know, to just make sure you have a genius with common sense making sure all goes well!! 😇

Ok ok…. I think it’s time stop fucking about now and get our arses RIGHT back into the beating heart of the EU and with great haste too. Sack off any of the morons who keep head banging coz the threat is not just our own internal misery any more.

Spit balling here... but maybe China should immediately take this opportunity to try and claim as much of the Asian end of Russian land as they can get? Would force them to stretch their already strained military resources and would be a big "fuck you" to Trump's best mate after those 25% tariffs 🤷‍♂️

I heard some of Trump's address but couldn't take it after a while. Never mind fact-checking, I'm sure every sentence I heard was utter bollocks. He proudly announced leaving the WHO, UN Human Rights Council & Paris Agreement; to CHEERS?!? He could say anything and those twats would stand and cheer

Apparently today is #NationalGrammarDay

Putin and Trump's definition of "peace" in Ukraine is essentially the conflict stopping...which means as soon as the little guys stop defending themselves, roll over and hand over their land like 'good bullied victims' should so Russia and USA can peacefully pillage from an unwilling sovereign land.

If Trump was President in 1940

I think this name suits him better actually. Thanks Samantha Simmonds 😏
