I was going to attach Cold War Steve's graphic, Mr Luce, but perhaps better to let your followers find it themselves. They may not know the far-right grifters in the picture, including our worst Prime Minister and the light-blue-suited boot-licker-in-chief, but they will understand the message.

Perhaps the best you've ever done, Steve.

Maybe someone at the BBC could ask the F-word about Trump/Greenland? Can't wait to hear his crisp, straightforward and clear condemnation.

Perhaps time for the EU leaders, Starmer, Carney, Albanese and the rest to have a quiet word with their Republican contacts about the 25th.

He is one sick bastard. He fantasises that Reiner and wife were murdered because Reiner was so anti-him. Can you imagine someone so debased, so deranged, so evil that they would gloat in the murder of an opponent who was so clearly a good man? And he is President? It cannot hold.

It's the Fox news- type dystopia painting London as a hell-hole via the X-fear and hate bots .The facts are (from Wikipedia) " In October 2025, MOPAC published a summary of data showing homicides at their lowest since monthly records began, a fall of almost 60% compared to 2003."

But Mr Bush, remember that the Labour Party members saddled us with a choice between Mr Corbyn Tweedleftistdum and Mr Johnson Tweedlerightistdum, not even a chance of power for (L)Dee, unfortunately.

Is this the same Lord Glasman who, per Wikipedia, is a lecturer in Political Theory at London Metropolitan University? A turkey voting for Christmas.

7 year old is closer to the mark. And a dumb 7 year old at that.

Voting acronym is now ABFOC - Anyone But the F-word or the Conservatives. Polite version

Sometimes things just take your breath away.

Her paternal grandfather's family is of Dutch Jewish descent. Her grandmother's family moved to England to escape political persecution. Most of her grandfather's family was killed in the Holocaust.

Straight up Article 25 proof. From Wikipedia "To be sure, foremost in [the minds of the framers] was a physical or mental impairment. But the text of Section 4 sets forth a flexible standard intentionally designed to apply to a wide variety of unforeseen emergencies"

Putin's patsy. All this macho b*****ks and then he (Trump) debases himself and his country, fawning before Putin. Sickening to see the US degrade itself.

Great photo of the most scenic view in Bristol (my home city), thank you Simon! Hope you get to St Mary Redcliffe also.

And of course I mean blue murder figuratively here

And yes Big Tech is a monopolistic menace and sorely needs fierce regulation and breaking up. Where is Teddy Roosevelt when you need him?
October 11, 2025 at 10:12 AM
Yes but...
- some, likely a small, or even very small part of the economy is fraudulent - its visiblility make it seem larger
- some people don't go outside but most I see are using it for convenience
- This is the key point Deliveroo etc get away with blue murder - Again yes, but...

Somehow this is not on the main page of the BBC website (yet) - it's in the website but filed under Wales. Why do I think if this had been Labour/Lib Dem/Tory it would be the lead on the main page?

Sadly it was that clown Nick Clegg who crashed the Lib Dems - Cameron and Osborne just had to sit and watch

Yet another example of how the BBC's management of its website is not fit for purpose - editorial judgement ceded to algorithms and the desperate search for clicks, wherever they may come from.
