Disability benefits here in the UK are less than most people believe.
They're harder to get than most people believe.
Fraud is lower than most people believe.
The evidence you need to get them is more than most people believe.

The Government and media rely on this collective ignorance.

Interesting stats from C4 news about people referred to the UK anti-terrorism service, Prevent.

56% - No identified ideology.
21% - Extreme right-wing ideology.
10% - Islamist extremism.

The latest SUPER annoying trend on Youtube... ads that ignore your app settings and turn on captions and then you have to turn them off on the video after every freakin' ad break.

While spinning this into an "ACAB" post, did you realise Adrian was shot ACCIDENTALLY by the officer who was shooting at the terrorist in front of the door? Adrian was unseen, behind the door. The officer took a calculated risk to kill the terrorist before he could get in and kill many more people.

Sign the petition to stop #DigitalID being forced on every UK resident.

It won't "stop the boats".
It won't stop illegal cash-in-hand working.
It's just an excuse to track EVERYONE.

Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards
We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

As the International Paralympic Committee has capitulated and lifted the ban on Russia and Belarus competing in the next games, will all the other nations show some guts and boycott the games in response?

The UK gov't claims Digital IDs will stop cash-in-hand illegal working (by illegal migrants AND CITZENS). But how will it stop cash-in-hand payments? I'm glad you asked that. It's only part of the solution. Next, we will abolish physical cash and replace it with the Digital Pound and social scoring.

They want you to be obsessed with immigration so you ignore all the other problems.

But all the other problems ARE the problem.

Don't be distracted and let them blind you with hate.

This guy is all about conspiracy theories of Big Pharma putting out vaxines to make billions. That has a grain of truth in it, but my conspiracy theory is that he's in an elite cabal trying to bring back small pox and polio, then cancel healthcare to kill all the poor to make his buddies billions.
In a marathon hearing on Thursday before the Senate Finance Committee, RFK Jr. faced a barrage of questions from senators who were outraged by his recent actions.

In some cases, Kennedy appeared to promote flat-out lies.
RFK Jr. is living in a pretend anti-vax world
Unfortunately, he is wreaking havoc in the real one.

Words are very powerful, and how they are presented is insightful.
Kier Starmer had 'good words' in the past, but his handwriting says a lot about him.

Microsoft and Meta have a combined market value DOUBLE that of the top 100 UK companies.

Microsoft's "solid quarterly earnings" put another 8% on its stock price to be a $4 trillion company. But it's not enough, so my Microsoft 365 subscription increases by over 31% tomorrow.

This has to stop.

Somehow this resonates with the general direction of travel in the UK today.
Got myself into a bit of a rabbit hole with the Moorgate tube crash that happened in 1975.
No faults with the train or braking system. Driver didn’t appear suicidal and even had cash in his pocket to buy a car later. But he simply drove into a dead end brick tunnel. Baffling.

The definition of a "service likely to be accessed by UK children" requiring a risk assessment and mitigations is so broad that it includes individuals - me.

When I talk to someone about their #MentalHealth, I ask them to declare that they are over 18 before we start. 1/4 🧵 #OnlineSafetyAct

UK Government doubles down on the bonkers #OnlineSafetyAct.

I've signed. Have you? If the petition gets to 1 million UK citizen / resident signatures, it gets upgraded so that it goes to the Lords and not the Commons for debate.

Whelp, with the UK government's 'Great Firewall of Britain' having gone up with the bonkers #OnlineSafetyAct, I guess it's time to leave the UK, at least in Internet terms, and become a French Internet resident via my VPN.

After a cat-astrophic first year in power, Kier Starmer trades places with acting Prime Minister Larry.
Larry, in his first address as PM, proclaimed, "I am the voice of stability, having seen multiple incom-pet-ent hoomans in No.10 come and go. Understand this: I own this place. Gib snack!"
