Enter the grovel-fest from slippery politicians & their elite masters, both of whom would relish in sending the peasants off to another lucrative war in a heartbeat if they had a heart. Looking at the world today, I think we may have forgotten what it was we were supposed to be remembering...

Charles has an awful lot of medals for someone who was in the RN for just five years... in peacetime... largely on ships operating off Portsmouth and the Welsh coast...
Just a thought, but... what else was he likely to be doing tonight? Headline news, really?

The right wing halfwits who believe train drivers are overpaid need to give their head a wobble.
In charge of £ms of kit and, far more importantly, the safety of passengers is worth every penny of their £75K.

Amid all the fuss, remember that for much of the 1960s and 1970s, "the Spare" Andrew Windsor was just one unfortunate incident away from being the next king.
Hopefully, this appalling saga will lead to a proper national debate on our hereditary monarchy.
Long, long overdue.

● Andrew Windsor remains 8th in the line of succession.
●King Charles III will privately fund his new living arrangements despite Andrew being very rich indeed
● Actually we don't know how wealthy Andrew is because his mother's will is sealed for 90+ years
● Sleep well serfs.

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy.
Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

Sunday protests seem to be < 500 nationwide, maybe < 300, across 4-6 locations
Yet ITV news using language of "erupt nationwide" (!)

Birmingham: 30
Stevenage: 30-50
Norwich: ? anything of any scale

Anyway...why are "Actress" and "Manageress" now frowned upon yet "Lioness" is apparently ok, probably the most used word in the English media this morning? 🤔

When a political party faces no threat they don’t feel the need to earn your vote.
Liverpool has been one of the staunchest Labour strongholds in the country yet time after time they spit in our face while they play footsy with the bigoted right.
It’s beyond time that our votes were earned again.
