@mrjamesob.bsky.social it's all about the distance between reality and aspiration. And the obstacles in place that disrupt that journey. Some people just find this so overwhelming and crime becomes a shortcut. Racist attitudes undoubtedly make the journey harder.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social what about "you have to be cruel to be kind"…?

@lbcwatchuk.bsky.social did you listen to Felz at all? I only caught some of it but she was letting racists rant on unchallenged. Usual crap. "Send them all back", "men of fighting age". Common sense was constantly challenged though. So infuriating.

@ottoenglish.bsky.social that Christmas List works. 😃

Dear @keirstarmer2.bsky.social,

Please move the laws around political & campaign financing to the top of your list

Or…

Expect 1 term that ends in handing power of this country to a foreign billionaire proxy PM and his little puppet

Yours,

The people of this country paying attention.

We figured out the easiest way is to follow back is to follow who REPOSTS, not comments on a post, because when we click to see who reposts, it gives us a follow back button for every account.

Good morning! If you've found my 'UK news and politics' starter pack useful to get you up and running on @bsky.app, please spread the word to new users by giving this a repost.

Having ditched X I found myself drawn to GB News. For the laugh of course. The ad break is just the same advert played 7 times in a row. Hilarious.

Vietnam. A country which seems to create feelings of trepidation as that first visit approaches. But I've never known anybody return from Vietnam with anything other than wonderful stories.
