The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

If you've ever needed a reason to rally behind the BBC then this is it.

The mainstream press in the late 1930s was no better as I wrote here in my current book

Kind of familiar.

Isn't it.

Richard Aldington's Epilogue to Death of a Hero.

Always worth revisiting on Remembrance Sunday.

One man does not speak for the millions who fought in the war any more than he speaks for history.

The deliberate weaponisation of an elderly veteran by a bunch of right-wing chancers only demonstrates - once again - that remembrance has been hijacked and weaponised by morons.

I wish it wasn't so

GB News literally "wearing a poppy."

What does that actually mean?

Have they donated to the Royal British Legion to earn it?

Or is "gesture news" now a thing?

Reform councillor and Doncaster mayoral candidate Alexander Jones needs to urgently provide a family tree showing us where all of his several hundred thousand unique ancestors in the 10th century were living.

Or I for one won't believe he's a real English man.

Farage has been consistent for 15+ years.

Opposing decent pay and conditions for ordinary hard-working young people and expectant parents.

Meanwhile, he makes a mint hawking bullion, presenting tv shows and flying to the USA to big up his interests - instead of serving his constituents.

I say give him the money.

With every extra dollar he earns, Musk only proves the old axiom that "money can't buy you happiness."

The stupid wealth of this very stupid man stands as an example to us all.

Desperate little man.

Have just been reminded that the 2 minute silence on Armistice Day was only reintroduced in 1995.

The UAE where hugging in public can get you arrested, where human rights barely exist, where foreign workers are routinely abused, where critics of the regime routinely disappear, where an Indian nanny was shot by firing squad in March & where marital rape is not a criminal offence but being gay is.

And this is why everyone needs to stop trusting Grok.

And leave X.

Challenged as to whether it was a real Grok doubled down and insisted it was.

Musk's Grok was asked to verify if a tweet featuring a graphic image of the attack on the LNER train was real.

I'm not sharing the whole image but here is part of it and the text.

Next time someone tells you that train drivers "just push buttons" show them this from the BBC
November 2, 2025 at 3:01 PM
Twitter used to be the "go to" place for breaking news.

Nowadays X is the "go to" place for misinformation and cesspit speculation.

This terrible event has unleashed a whole new degree of stupidity on the hell site.

Yeah... let people arm themselves with knives. Great idea.

Esther McVey MP.

Speaking for the silent majority...

Of idiots.
