Brexit detonated our economy and our politics. Since then, our country seems to have lost its mind, veering off to the right, reawakening the racism genie, ruining itself to try to hide the dishonesty and snowballing damage of it all.
And now Farage could be PM ffs.
Mindblowing self-inflicted idiocy

Much as I am pleased about a change of regime at the BBC. It really pisses me off that they allowed a foreign government to exert such power in that decision. We all know Trump encouraged the insurrection - the BBC were just very clumsy how they portrayed it 😡😡

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❗️🤷🏼‍♂️

I’d rather be a Hobbit than a Saruman or Fëanor.

Hobbits avoid conflict & like warm homes, good ale and don’t seek fame or power. They also have deep wells of loyalty, resilience, and quiet heroism when the world demands it.
