Stupiest things people were saying:

Boris is doing his best.
Eat out to help out.
The best budget ever! (Liz Truss's)
Make America Great Again (context: by electing Trump?!)

And the same people who voted for Boris in 2019 because “he’s a laff inee” are falling for the same schtick from Farage - “Nigel, he’s one of us, likes a fag and a pint and puts Britain first” - the country is full of gullible marks who are being fed racist pablum by the rw press 🙄

I already know who would have betrayed Anne Frank. They don't criticise Trump and went to the USA on their holidays.

I deleted an old friend from my Facebook yesterday. I let the first four pro-Reform posts slip. Not the fifth. She's no friend of mine.

The "Angel" Gabriel was no angel. He shagged Elizabeth and he shagged Mary. Mary was besotted with him. She believed his lies. Naive young girl.

The same BBC that used old footage of Boris Johnson laying a wreath at the cenotaph "by mistake" in the year he was drunk/hungover and laid it upside-down is now accused of anti-right wing bias. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

I like the gospels, mostly. Luke has Jesus telling us the poor are blessed, but Matthew's not having any of that commie nonsense. He claims Jesus said the poor in spirit are blessed. Matthew's no fan of the hungry either. He prefers those who hunger and thirst for what is right. Matthew's a dick.

Why is there an Upper Earnings Limit on National Insurance Contributions? All taxation is available to the government to use as it sees fit so it has nothing to do with health or social security or pensions any more than any other tax. It's a regressive rule.

Lubov Chernukhin, wife of the Russian president’s one-time finance minister Vladimir, certainly takes an interest in her adoptive British homeland. In a decade up to the last election she gave more than £2m to the Tory party.

Nothing on the BBC Radio news this morning. Nothing I could find on their website. This is an MP from the party whose lead in the opinion polls normally ensures them wall-to-wall coverage. She spouts racist nonsense for which even she feels obliged to apologise. What on earth are they playing at?
