I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

Look, I think Starmer's as much of a prat as the next guy but we can all take solace in the fact that we can call him that without risking the FBI at our door, and that he's not a senile, deranged, convicted sex offender right? Things could definitely be worse.

The Roman Empire prospered due to open borders, mass immigration and diversity then fell because of huge wealth inequality and corrupt leadership. I just thought I'd mention it.

Fascinating stuff!
Earlier this week I spoke to London Centric about the Ringways Map and all things unbuilt London - they’ve dedicated the whole of their latest edition to the story! substack.com/home/post/p-...
Would your home have been under a motorway?
"The most astonishing and destructive thing never to happen to London," says the man who has spent twenty years researching the first true map of the unbuilt Ringways.

At Charlie Kirk's posthumous Medal of Freedom ceremony yesterday (dead podcaster wins prize) Trump gave a long speech....which of these things do you think I made up?
1. He talked about how fit Kirk's wife is
2. He compared Kirk to MLK
3. He bragged that he dodged his bullet but Charlie didn't

I can afford them but I refuse to play this game. Ticketmaster has fucked the industry. I just feel sorry for the youngsters who won’t get to experience the magic that I did over the last 25 years ☹️
25 years of regular gigs - at least one gig every 2 months. The costs over the last 2 years plus the headache trying to actually get the ticket has put me right off.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Brexit is the toxic epicentre of the political shitshow we now have to endure. It promoted idiocy and deceit, endorsed racism, divided us, made us poorer, weaker, less safe and less sane. It’s belittled the country, killed the Tory party and given birth to Reform.
A relentless klaxon of failure.

This is 100% correct!!!
To friends in America. Despite what you may read or see in the US about Trump's visit to the UK, please be aware.
- He is hated here
- He is as welcome as the plague
- He will meet no ordinary Brits
- There will be protests
- The protests will be anti Trump, not anti American
