Not posh enough for my village, not young enough for my football team, not thin enough for my jeans. My views are my own - but then, who else's would they be?

I know “being yourself” on here is better, but my political/ geopolitical views are benign with 90% of colleagues but there’s a chance they could be a big issue for some key people - and we all know Trump/Farage encourage vengeance on those not like them. So I’m just The Man from Hampton on here.
Fuck JD Vance. And Fuck Donald Trump.

I’m a bit overwhelmed and so am taking the day off from politics
But before I do I want to share why
The past few days have seen a new low in British politics, where one of the most sensitive and most troubling crimes - child abuse -has been politicised by two parties, the Conservatives and Reform
But before I do I want to share why

Lots of confused racists in the replies trying to suck both Elno and Farage off at the same time.
Occasionally it’s worth dipping back into X for doozies like this one…

Jeremy Vine - “…by 2028…and the government might not even be in power at that point…” … echoed by a correspondent just 2 mins later…
Have we really reached the point where the BBC now don’t understand our political system and are echoing Elno?

Wow. This Boris Johnson column about Gregg Wallace is absolutely wild.

People interacting with this tweet on Xitter as if it were true. Just when you think the platform has got as low as it can, it opens a trapdoor and finds a way to head deeper into the mire.

Ironically, we have a petition that preempted the fake GE petition the media won’t shut up about apparently.
Who could have seen all this disinformation coming?
Many many of us, for the last decade or more.
Fix it, or democracy is over.

Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation
We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.
The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.
Here’s how they did it... 🧵

Just went on The Other Place. Really worried about the ranting and raving about this petition and the promotion being given to nuts like Ben Habib.
I find it so sad that there are lonely, ill-educated and naive people who will see this and assume it’s the truth of the world.
Scary times.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:
Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from?
The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised.

Me too. My memories of the level of game play from 16k are surely completely out of kilter with the reality of it!? And if I got bored of Horace, then there was always
10 PRINT "Boobies are great!"
20 GOTO 10
RUN
10 PRINT "Boobies are great!"

For me it was the 1K ZX81 which started my adventures in the world of computing. I later upgraded to a 16K RAM pack (arrggh... the agony of RAM pack wobbles!) and eventually a proper keyboard.
Who needs colour!? Sound!? Lowercase characters!? Give me a Sinclair ZX81!

Is it possible to make a list that is all of the people who like a certain user’s posts? Just for example a facist wannabe Trump MP if a town he never goes to?
Here's a useful tool for Bluesky
Type your account name in and activate
It will come up with a list of the accounts followed by the people you follow..
If you type in your password it will give that list with an optional follow button to make life easy.
Try it 💙💙

Not watching #iacgmooh tonight. Which wannabe man-of-the-people facist’s media profile are they rehabilitating this year? Is it Yaxley-Lennon?

Have you blocked the “Politlcs UK” account yet?
Unknown to most, they’re a Tory engagement farm, subtly pushing a narrative.
But pretending to be an impartial news source.
Let’s nip them in the bud, and not give them the amplification they need.
