for all y’all Brits out there, please consider for a moment what it’s like for your Black and Brown friends to hear this sort of stuff being said by *elected representatives*
In posts responding to Saturday’s mass stabbing attack on the Doncaster to London King’s Cross train, Reform councillor Alexander Jones explicitly attributed the crime to “individuals” who were “not English” and instead “Black and of Caribbean descent” – despite the alleged killer being British
Nigel Farage's Chosen Reform Mayoral Candidate Suggested Black Britons Can’t Be English
The party's candidate for Mayor of Doncaster claimed being English requires Anglo-Saxon 'lineage' and attacked 'third world cultures' in now-deleted posts

Can’t express how much me and the doggos loathe this time of year: I’m locked in with them with two out of synch radios at full blast, swigging wine and paracetamol to numb the fucking headache while the fireworks go off like a fucking war zone. Yay.

While it’s good that the whole Andrew thing is finally being dealt with, could we perhaps take this opportunity to ask the wider question: what the fuck is the point of the ‘royal’ family?

That’s Elon Musk, Fellow of the Royal Society, I’ll have you know. Because the Royal Society can only seem to come up with throat-clearing noises as a response to these sorts of statements instead of actually throwing him out.

The annual 2 months of 5th Nov has properly started so I’m sitting boxed in the living room with the dogs and the radio on full blast to try and drown the fireworks out. Ban the fucking things: or at least ban selling them to selfish twats.

Good to see the artist formerly known as prince Andrew is losing (nearly) all of his anachronistic titles, perhaps this is a good time for all royal titles for all of them to get in the bin? It is the 21st century after all. Just saying.

Not the classiest shot, but apart from the roast duck, everything else on the plate (including the plums for the plum sauce) is from the allotment!

I'm sorry I said your poem about the little hedgehog was predictable and that the rhyme wasn't really working properly.
