Getting close to the point where I close my Twitter account and move on here. Twitter was a great place to make many connections over the years but is now so toxic and its owner using it for right wing purposes means it the end for me on that platform.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says the public want to leave the ECHR

Let him know he’s wrong by sharing this widely
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says

“We need to leave the ECHR so we can deport people that come illegally & take back control of our borders & that’s what the public wants”

Share if you disagree with his populist boll**** the UK should join Russia & Belarus outside the ECHR

Hasn’t Rupert Murdoch been doing that for decades?

Horrible weather at Pittodrie tonight but the better team won. Can see why the Bernardo goal was disallowed but thought the protocol was let the attacking phase play out and VAR would then look at it. But Don Robertson blew for foul means no VAR intervention possible. Wullie Collum needs to explain
