c) She was sentenced under guidance brought in under Boris Johnson.
d) fuck off.

This 'patriot' protesting against immigrants in Manchester is actually Irish far right thug Paul Rock, who got eight years for tying up and robbing a 76 year old woman. But yeah, just concerned parents.
I expect the free speech advocates, like Tice, Musk and Farage will add their support .
Oh! Wait…
What a brilliant set from Neil Young.
Rock and Roll will never Die.
Keep on rocking in the free world
Why aren’t the free speech advocates up in arms about the BBC’s decision to censor Bob Vylan ?
Come on Tice, Musk, Fox et al.
It won’t bother Albert Ross.

Excellent video by Aid.

Get this guy to 10k and beyond, he deserves loads of subscribers.

He’s my personal favourite when it comes to political piss taking and making some of the most informative, best (and most funny) political content out there right now.

How much worse can the Signal chat fiasco get?

Chat member, Steve Witkoff, was not only in Moscow, he may have been inside the Kremlin meeting with Putin while war plans and fist emojis were flying around on his phone.

Nothing to see here… except everything.

With rescue efforts ongoing, the number of victims in Ukraine's city of Sumy as a result of the Russian strike yesterday has increased to 99 — Deputy Mayor Kuznetsov
Russians have just bombed a crowded school with a ballistic missile, leaving around 74 victims, many children.

This is Russian culture in its purest form, wherever Russians are allowed to go, this is what they do.

I’m just curious Pam, did you feel this adamant about the rule of law when your orange overlord released the actual January 6th ‘domestic terrorists’? 🤔
And since we’re on the subject of ‘days of committing crimes are over’, perhaps you should do your job & arrest the criminal in our White House!

When MP's lose their jobs they keep getting paid for 6 months (the Conservatives increased it from 3 months before they lost).

I think in order to help them back into work as soon as possible we need to reduce it to 0 months.

I am 79 years old. I had measles as a child, there wasn’t a vaccine. Last year I had a lungectomy to remove the upper lobe of my left lung to remove a cancer the size of a strawberry. I am fully vaccinated.
