What Hamilton thinks of Spode of Clacton.

What Hamilton thinks of Spode from Reform UK.

From the creators of "I don't like Rage against the Machine anymore, they've gone woke", we bring you a new, thrilling journey of self discovery:

People actually watch the Eurovision acts and don't just tune in for the results??

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

the guy with the gold shitter is preaching minimalism

I mean, this is patently absurd and unworkable. Bigoted clowns

Well put. See the apocalyptic "hell in a handcart" fever dreams of the Telegraph opinion page. Conservatism with nothing it likes enough to conserve

"The Supreme Court’s decision regarding trans women has made me ashamed of my profession – and ashamed of what our law has become." www.independent.co.uk/voices/trans...

I lived through section 28 and the AIDS crisis before seeing legal protections enacted in the 90s. my life as a queer non binary person was rich and full of love, not circumscribed as government and law intended. you can live in this world without the permission of the state. you can.

again and again and yet again the privileged’s fantasies of oppression take precedence over the marginalised’s real, daily, violent oppression

In 20 years a lot of people will be denying they cheered this decision.

As someone who has been told I am not a real woman because I haven't given birth, which is right up there with the most offensive things that's ever been said to me, this legal news is a fucking disgrace and brings shame onto all of us in the UK today

Trans women are women and no court judgement can change that. Without wanting to diminish the negative effect that legal oppression has on trans lives, there is no reason why lawyers and judges are qualified to make this argument over actual experts in the field.

You couldn't make it up Richard Tice owns the British Steel site which has been nationalised. We are now paying rent straight to Tice. Reform, "Nationalise Steel so we can put the rents as high as we like."

We’ve had a years-long panic over “free speech” that was mostly left-punching from reactionary centrists mad that students had the gall to question them. Now, when we are facing with an actual crisis of free-speech loudest voices are quiet. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Like Mussolini in the 1920s, Trump excites people who want politicians to "get things done", regardless of what the "things" are. We get to see who has strongman yearnings.

Name that band. @dubdobdee.bsky.social

Dave Allen, post-punk's greatest bass player, has died. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpXL...

I remember that Happy Mondays & Stone Roses 'were indie" when Nirvana broke. Older kids were adamant indie was that style of music. I found out later indie wasn't a sound but certainly codified to that. Alternative bands were more polished, often heavier appealing to metal fans and on major labels.
