A constant blazing terror that somewhere, somebody might be getting a free cheese sandwich. Or indeed brief use of a wheelchair.

Everyone involved knows Mel is a virulently racist fascist lunatic with horrendous views on the use of massive, murderous violence against civilians. But there she still is on Sky News, because her crackpottery is well within acceptable opinion, for our political/media class.

@channel4news.bsky.social on waste dumping, in Hopewood. It's always on the Police, Council and Environment Agency who between them do nothing. What is needed is a new nationalised waste and recycling department, with a new Minister, more green jobs. Make illegal dumping a profitless activity.

The nastiest fascists in their government said almost straight away that the plan was to drastically cull the civilian populace, demolish as much of the strip as possible and then herd the survivors into a much smaller, more concentrated camp. And that is what they have now done.

Today, England's water companies received their worst pollution ratings since records began.
Rising bills. Soaring profits. Sewage in our rivers and seas.
Enough is enough. Bring water back into public ownership, now.

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.
This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

The guy from the Vodafone advert who is now everywhere, is supremely annoying. I can't stop trying to imitate the infuriating "two sugars" head wobble bit, why is he having to ask for sugar, why smile and wobble his head, what's wrong with his hair ahhhh. I need to see Limmy talk about this!

Even the change to formally calling for a ceasefire was meaningless given that there was no "or else" attached. The arms and intel sharing continued to flow, no sanctions were applied. They were complicit throughout.
Jonathan Ashworth: "I've wanted to see a ceasefire for 2 years"
The collective position of the Labour shadow cabinet (which you were part of) for months after October 7th was to reject a ceasefire & Labour instructed its MPs not to vote for a ceasefire in Nov 2023.

A peerage can only be removed by an act of parliament. The last time that happened was in 1917.
Our House of Lords is completely unfit for purpose, and the likes of "Lady Mone" can keep her position for life without consequences.

Today the #FreedomFlotilla Coalition set sail with roughly 100 people aboard 'Conscience' - with many healthcare workers & journalists. Our goal is to break Israel’s illegal siege, to provide international correspondents chances to report from #Gaza, & deliver urgently needed medical support.

Another one from #USA STARS AND STRIPES 1981. Delay on #NASA's #Challenger Shuttle maiden flight due to fuel leak. I know the O-ring issue has been well documented but there's a lesson here, sometimes a lemon is a lemon and you need to read the signs. 10 flights later, a tragic disaster.
