Stephen Fry on Trump “Look at who Trump admires -MBS in Saudi Arabia; Putin’s Russia, obviously; Lukashenko’s Belarus[ Erdogan’s Turkey; Milei’s Argentina; Modi’s India; Netenyahu’s Israel. Places which are, basically, moving toward fascism, nationalism and they don’t listen to people like Starmer”

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 🇪🇺 ?

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

The great stitch-up begins in Riyadh today, as the US government seeks to hand eastern Ukraine, bound and gagged, to Putin. This, as Trump knows and wants, will encourage Putin to threaten and destabilise the rest of Europe. *Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.*

The most unpatriotic members of any society are the far right. They will always align with foreign interests against the interests of their own nations. They will always undermine national institutions and national values in pursuit of their own interests. When they pose as patriots, they lie.

Come on 🇬🇧… This period of US governance is something you need to stay the fuck away from… and right now, in this unique moment of chaos and war, the EU will be more than happy to welcome back an old friend. Make those ties with Europe now, before the Trump shit really hits the fan.

#RiverAction #Nando's (among others) are filling the #RiverWye with chicken shit.

Boycott Brew Dog.

And the cool thing is that this petition is now on 113,000… Crossing the 100K mark only accelerated it. 🚀

🚨 A majority of the public don't want it and the science clearly shows it would be a disaster for the climate. 🤯 But Labour are supporting Heathrow expansion anyway...

At least $12 *trillion* from global oligarchs is hidden offshore in secret tax havens worldwide. And it is headquartered right here in the USA. Instead of cutting lifesaving programs like the VA, Medicaid, and food stamps, we should be cracking down on tax havens for the ultra-rich.

Call to action: US national protest on Monday February 17 at your State Capitol or White House. Spread far and wide. End Impunity End Oligarchy End Autogenocide #3E #USprotests #eyesontheoval

This !!

The FIFA execs praying Trump doesn't learn about the next World Cup being co-hosted in both The US, Canada *and* Mexico.

How can there be talks of Heathrow expansion at this point of climate breakdown? Watch the full video discussing it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NxT...

Onderwijs zou de sleutel zijn naar een betere toekomst. Maar wat gebeurt er met een samenleving waarin de kloof tussen elite-universiteiten en beroepsopleidingen groeit? Econoom Thomas Piketty en filosoof Michael J. Sandel wisselen van gedachten.

How Right-Wing Media Spread the False Claim That One in Twelve Londoners Are ‘Illegal Migrants’ There is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public, in order to push for Trump-style mass deportations, argues Zoe Gardner bylinetimes.com/2025/01/30/h...

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

President Felon quits the WHO and blames them for his own incompetence. He releases his rioters who killed policemen. And quits the Paris accords on climate change. He says he was chosen by God who saved him from an assassin. He's insane.

Don't call Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Nigel Farage Nazis!!! It's just a COINCIDENCE that they support Nazis, are supported by Nazis, their friends think they're basically Nazis and some of them do Nazi salutes.

Heaven help us

It took Nazis 78 years but they finally captured the United States.

So many amazing anecdotes about David Lynch. I will add something fluffy but possibly entertaining. For a brief while, David Lynch was probably best known in the UK for his wonderfully him PlayStation ad, championed by the great @trevorbmbagency.bsky.social youtu.be/Laf9vpJMDjA?...

“Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact-checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and profit” President Joe Biden

When you need to return a parcel

It’s not just that the billionaires control the economy. It’s not just that the billionaires increasingly control our political system. It’s that these oligarchs also control the media and the information the American people receive. This is a very dangerous situation.

Even if i didn't think it was BS, I'm not being lectured on 'masculinity' by a sentient toilet brush that got rich by inventing online stalking
