Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.
Every single human in the world is the product of migration.
It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.
That’s never going to change.
Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

Been to York today for a meet up with a daughter and a bit of buying from a few places.
(Eg: new socks from M&S, and s bottle of salted caramel "Pudding Rum" from the market).
Imagine my delight when just before my train home pulled in, this beauty turned up, just as I came out of the waiting room.

It's real, and it's mind-blowing.
A complete lack of awareness and a national embarrassment.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

Swung by The Book Loft in Berwick-upon-Tweed on Saturday afternoon to pick up a book I'd ordered when they first opened.

You might have thought Question Time was biased.
But you never realised how much.

Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

I DEMAND Panorama IMMEDIATELY produces a documentary showing Kamala Harris not instigating a violent riot, not sexually assaulting anyone, or getting fined for denying it, or being found guilty of business fraud, or f*cking a porn star AND accepting the result of an election.

Feb 2024 the Met Police had 15,000+ warrants for criminals at large That’s 15K criminals they hadn’t caught or escaped other forces have 1,000’s too
BBC said nothing
Only now Labour are in Govt 4 are important❗️🤷🏼♂️

At least four prisoners freed in error still at large, BBC told
The government is under increasing pressure after a number of high-profile wrong releases.

Picked up the joannechocolat.bsy.social book I ordered from the new, small, but perfectly formed bookshop (The Book Loft) in Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Also seemed to coincide with their official opening party, so I got a free Dostoyevsky too!

This is, by some distance, the longest and most expensive legal letter we've ever sent. It involves a team of multiple KC and junior specialist environmental barristers. It's taken us 18 months to draft and has cost us a substantial six figure sum.
We can't meet our climate change targets by exporting emissions. That's why we've taken the first formal step in legal proceedings against the Government. goodlaw.social/s87x
We’re challenging Starmer on climate failure
As Keir Starmer heads for Brazil, his government is failing to meet the challenge of global heating – so we’re taking legal action.

This means he avoids disqualification by just a few days and keeps his councillor salary.
