The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

Hmm, I wonder how Farage will explain that his great friend Donald was actually expressing his deepest respect for all those who fought and died fighting fascism before the US even got its boots on.
President Trump criticises France and others for celebrating remembrance day, saying, "We're the one that won the wars"

Surreal, and so very disrespectful to every person who fought in the wars for the freedoms we all enjoy today

"More and more, the nature of high-profile public service is repelling the best and the brightest. That is the great tragedy of our age – and the great opportunity for those who were never in it to serve the public in the first place."

Ms Hyde nails it again.

The official investigation into the January 6 riots concluded Trump “summoned the mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack" in an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power.

No billion dollar lawsuit can change reality.

The BBC should call this convicted criminal’s bluff.

Reform UK Council Grifter in Northumberland.

Councillor Shaun Knowles turned up to a meeting yesterday for the first time in just under 6 months.

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

It's not an "error" if you keep doing it. That's deliberate deception. He has previously failed to declare gifts & cash within 28 days as required.

There should be clear and strong sanctions. Otherwise, why wouldn't MPs keep hiding their conflicts of interest?

The knife attack on the train in Cambridgeshire last night was horrific, but when the usual suspects start using it to ramp up the division and hatred that's lately become so horribly normalised, it's worth remembering these figures.
Now do Yanks, Gervais.
