I really don't like Brexit and Boris. And most of the Tory party. Plus Farage and his bunch of c**ts. Not fond of Apples and Cauliflower either. Don't get me started on the Orange Man-Child. Also, no more home ownership, build to rent cheaply!

If you’re in the UK and were born between 1970-1990 you can just go to your GP and get revaccinated for MMR because you may have had single vaccines, which are no longer considered valid. I went & did it this summer. Easy way to help protect yourself & your community.
If you are worried this is too big an executive function barrier you can go to a pharmacy and they will probably just jab you. That is what I did.

I'm not saying it's necessarily the right way to do this, that is just how much I am not fucking around with the measles
Go to your doctor and get your measles titers checked to make sure you are still immune and if not get re-vaccinated. It’s more and more likely all of us are going to eventually come in contact with it.

60,000 people – 0.001% of the world’s population – control three times as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity.

Top 10% earn more than the other 90%.

They control govts, means of production; inflict civil strife, deaths; thwart possibilities of democracy.

Tax the rich.
Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds

Tommy Robinson's Christmas Carol service featured two arrests - one for assault and another of a man suspected of homophobic abuse.

And loads of union flags and massive crosses... because that's traditional at the events where we celebrate Christ's BIRTH, isn't it. Crosses and flags.

Every horror we're seeing in Trump's America will take root in the UK if Farage becomes PM. From racist oppression to blatant corruption to anti-vaxxing to Christian nationalism to support for Russia to hostility towards on Europe ... It will all be used by Farage to divide and rule us.

🙄 It’s the hypocrisy that sticks the most. The Daily Mail spent years attacking all migrants including Poles, they fought and gaslit the public to get Brexit over the line. Now they complain about the state of the country after cheering on its decline. Vile!
2016 Daily Mail: We want foreigners out! We don’t care if it makes us poorer. Brexit means Brexit!

2025 Daily Mail: Foreigners are leaving Starmer’s Britain because this country is poor and shit!

This country would be so much better off without this hypocritical, incendiary, irresponsible rag.

Brexit was, is and always will be a disaster.

That our current government leaves us isolated in these dangerous times by refusing to address it is unforgivable.

Youth Mobility Scheme Latest!
(aka “freedom of movement replacement bus service” in Brussels now)

Quick recap:

1. the british turned down an offer from the EU post brexit to re-join Erasmus+

2. the british realised their unis were going bankrupt and asked for a youth mobility scheme.

If the Brexit ref was held today, Remain would win by over 8 million votes. That huge majority is created from old Leavers dying, young pro-EU people entering the electorate, and millions changing their mind. It's time for the big parties to accept this reality and aim their policies toward Rejoin.
