Just in case anyone's not entirely clear about Farage's motivation and non stop shuttling back and forth to MAGAland.

It's St Martin's Day today; my Polish deli forced me to buy some delicious almond iced croissants.

We have St Martin's on the Wall Church locally, a lovely little 1000 year old one room church, with a part fresco of Martin of Tour giving half his cloak to a beggar.

Not a peep: strange.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:

1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.

Voters truly hate Trump right now—for failing to lower prices, for terrorizing communities with his masked gestapo, and so much more. trib.al/i7pWtN8

His disapproval rating in a CNN poll this week hit a record 62%—one point higher than the same poll taken right after the January 6 insurrection.
Trump Has One Mission: To Make Your Life Hell
Tuesday’s elections should have been a wake-up call for Republicans. Instead, the administration is responding in the only way it knows how: causing more misery for millions of Americans.

I'm old enough to find it darkly amusing to watch the raddled Brit establishment hold its mutuably moral nose, whilst bending their collective privileged knee to the equally raddled would be King of fraud, abuse and lies.

Michael Prescott and Sir Robbie Gibb both bailed out of journalism years ago, and enjoy lucrative careers in corporate PR. And now they are the arbiters of BBC editorial standards. Go figure www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
The BBC has bigger impartiality problems than its coverage of Trump
It is the BBC’s entire governance structure–rather than individual stories–that should cause most concern

This breathless, live action tracking of the missing man on BBC Radio News is fucking insane, worthy of OAN.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge”

What a surprise
Nigel Farage’s Reform UK would allow a fossil fuel company owned by a Donald Trump donor to open up a huge fracking site in Greater Lincolnshire

It "shows exactly whose interests they serve – and it’s certainly not ordinary people" says @tessakhan.bsky.social

Bye bye BBC #Radio6 music, after another top news billing for

"Wot Hawhaw* Farage Says Today",

complete with elongated speech clip

"blah blah invaders blah blah".

*I'm not a fan of silly nicknames for politicians, but this fits him, as a traitorous mouthpiece for a hostile foreign power group.
