The UK media really is the dregs, now. Speculation is being reported as fact. For example, the Telegraph (basically a Tory mouthpiece) runs a story on the Budget including an EV pay-per-mile tax and the likes of the BBC parrot it as if it were a foregone conclusion.

Sorry, but I think that Jeremy Corbyn et al are pissing in the wind. It's time to unite around one strong leader. I would suggest Zack Polanski.

I'm amazed at how powerful computers have become. A recent purchase was a small, relatively cheap laptop with an i3 1315U processor that I can use when traveling. It can run Skyrim SE and Fallout 4 smoothly. Whilst some may regard these as 'old games', as an 'old person' to me they recent.

Vote for Gary as presenter of the year. Let them know we support public figures who speak up for what’s right. If this continues, no one with a platform will ever speak up again - then they win! That is what they want.

So the cabbage patch doll VP reckons a deal with the UK may be a goer. The real question is, do we really want to deal with these twats? I'd rather stand in solidarity with the EU.

So, Orange Twat has bottled it. Fuck him. The rest of the world should immediately impose 50% tariffs on all US goods. Give the cunt a taste of his own medicine. The fat lump of shit. Pardon my French.

I think that Starmer should stop pussyfooting around, and just ban golf in Scotchland. Also American rounders.

One extra advantage of choosing low carbon emission solutions like heat pumps and electric cars (not Tesla, obviously!), is that is pisses off right-wing loons. But these things need to be more affordable.

If you're a business owner who is whinging about having to pay minimum wage, national insurance and pension contributions, maybe you're not fit to run a business or employ other people. You can either do it, or not. Greedy gets.
