I was tagged and asked to take a look at this claim - cos, well just look at it!🙄
Does it seem plausible that THE Trocadero is going to be turned into a Mosque?
It was pretty easy to debunk but I decided to do a deep dive into the reality AND the appalling press coverage

Surprisingly high water rates bill just landed. Almost all the increase due to hikes in @thameswater.bsky.social charges. Ouch.

Highly misleading headline (disappointing for @theguardian.com). The claim won because the company didn't follow proper process - there to protect everyone in these situations. Would hate to go back to a time where a manager can fire someone on a whim.

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties”

Lots of St George's and Union Flags on the A23 in Horley, mostly on lampposts. I'm proud of our country, but it felt they were there more to intimidate than celebrate.

The Notts Post has been reporting without fear or favour since 1878. Reform makes a lot of noise about free speech and a free press - but when journalists say something it doesn’t like, this is how it actually behaves. Imagine what it would do in government.

Alas not seen in deepest darkest #Reigate today, but instead was heading West to Bath. Maybe it will come to us next time!
