FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations.
Reform are NOT for ordinary people.
They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

This annoying term “awful April” just needs putting in perspective. I didn’t hear any such term back then when things were spiralling out of control

A linguistics professor was lecturing his class. "In English, a double negative is a positive. In some languages, like Russian, a double negative is still a negative. But, there is no language wherein a double positive can be a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

The right-wing cannot win unless they are allowed to lie freely.
They dress their actions up as 'protecting free speech' but that's the truth of the situation.

And this…!
'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go' by Wham was released nearer to the end of the Second World War than to today. Happy New Year everyone!

And this…!
A new year & another way to feel older than I feel, when listeners phone in to radio programmes to chat & request songs. Great, they’re requesting tunes from my teens & 20s, but the people all sound like my grandparents & it sounds odd to my “young” ears!

If the richest person in the world is going to have this level of influence over world politics going forward, it seems to me only right that the views of the poorest person on Earth should be given equal weight, y'know, really balance things out.

A homeless person doesn't cost you anything, that's why they are there with nothing.
It is the billionaire with everything, who still won't pay your wages or pay tax, who is costing you everything.

We have to ridicule these bastards. They’re thin skinned & need to be called out for what they are. Everything they do can be picked apart to expose them for the charlatans & grifters they really are
