British person disgruntled with right wing politics. Dog lover. Love to cook and tend the garden.
Last night I took the dog for a walk on the seafront. Outside one hotel there was a demonstration taking place. The demonstrators were chanting racist slogans, waving racist placards and shouting racist comments. This all with a large banner that said "Vote Reform". And they say they're not racist!

This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*.
And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA

So, Trump has started World War III. Some of us always knew he would. Why, oh why, did Americans vote for this fascist war monger? What good did they think would come from electing a far right fascist who had already proved in his previous term that he is a disaster? Just why?

Is it just me or is pay to park by phone a rip off? I just paid to park by phone on a Ringo pay station because I didn’t have coins to the value of £1.50 exactly. They charged 40p for the privilege. That’s over 26% as a fee for using their service! They don’t even tell you in advance!

So, is Trump about to cause World War III? If he starts bombing Iran, he will almost certainly trigger it. Siding with the far right wing Netanyahu who is a war monger is wrong. That is not antisemitic, Jews have every right to exist amongst everyone else, but Netanyahu just wants war.

We know that the law is not always on the right side of history. The Supreme Court ruling last month does not make public spaces safer for anyone.

As we enter a week of reflection and celebration of VE Day, it is worth remembering what we fought for … the end of fascism. The country has just voted for fascism again. Let us not be fooled, the Reform party is led by a fascist with fascist ideals which he is introducing every day.

I wonder how many of those who clapped for the NHS five years ago just voted for the party that wants to defund it! People have short memories.

Remember Bergen-Belsen? It was a concentration camp run by the Nazis who sent innocent people there. Look forward 80 years and we have the Trump administration doing exactly the same thing to innocent people. Fascism didn’t end in World War II, it empowered people like Trump!

I just read this article about Royal Mail on the BBC website www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... How is it that Ofcom have the teeth to fine Royal Mail for relatively minor breaches of its code but don’t have the guts to do something about the far right broadcaster GBNews? It is simply ridiculous!
Royal Mail: What made a billionaire want to buy this fading relic
From the end of April, the 500-year-old Royal Mail will be controlled by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky who co-owns a football club - but why does he want it?

Does anybody have any suggestions for an alternative to Waze? I used it to do a 75 mile journey this morning. It took me down country roads, villages and towns with restricted speeds and took me 2½ hours. A friend who didn't have Waze did the exact same journey by main roads in 1 hour less!!!

It is incredible that Europe's busiest airport only had UPS and generators to enable planes to land and evacuate passengers. Talk about a single point of failure! In data centres there are *always* feeds from two separate power sources (i.e. substations) and they can't be affected by a single event.

Hey, Angelos Frangopoulos, GB News boss, in case it's helpful
🙃 things that are hateful - comparing being LGBT+ to being a paedophile.
🙂 things that are not hateful - complaining about comparing being LGBT+ to being a paedophile.

So, I just heard on the news that Farage has announced he has got himself 29 new defectors. That raises two questions in my mind; 1) Is getting defectors the only way in which he can garner support? Nobody is voting for his candidates. 2) Is Reform now the new Tory Party? It seems they're all Tories

As predicted after the 2024 election, they will gradually all get themselves removed from their parliamentary post!

So, Rupert Lowe, the overt racist, misogynist bully has even been called out by Reform. Is it all over now for Reform? How can Farage stamp any kind of leadership on the party now? Farage can’t lead. He can only dictate. And that isn’t working!

Who does Trump think he is? He’s trying to do a ‘deal’ with Ukraine to give a fifth of the country to Putin who invaded the country illegally. Now he is issuing a ‘last warning’ to Hamas! He is a pathetic sex offending, convicted criminal, a fascist and a Putin puppet. Who is he to demand anything?
