Who the f%*k is Chris Mason? Just watched his dreadful interview with Starmer. Who the hell does this weaselly third rate journalist think he is, presuming to grotesquely insult and trivialize the British PM? Starmer may have some challenges, but he shd not have to put up with this uninformed crap!

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

And then both he and his sister have channels on the media where they can spout their personal gripes and falsehoods. Why can’t that bloody family just piss off out of the public discourse. Self entitled twats. Worst UK PM in history and he has some stiff competition.

Justin insists that given Natasha has a miraculous ability to find coffee shops and pubs in Blackpool notwithstanding her childhood hols must have been decades ago, she and he are setting up a B&B just a couple of roads behind the seafront… and the extended family can stay for “mates rates”….
Summary : The jolly holly goers want a more simple, kinder life. Tom dreams about it.
Solution: Sell Bridge Farm or hand it over to Natasha and Pat who are / were the powerhouse and drivers, and stop f’ing moaning - Or any other case study solution Natasha and Justin can find on line. #TheArchers

So depressing to realise how gullible the British have been, regardless of main stream media bias.
As Trump and Putin work to crush Ukraine and destabilise Europe and Farage’s ally gets sentenced to 10yrs for taking Russian bribes, it’s a good time to revisit this excellent report on how the British rightwing has betrayed us all.
Brexit was their weapon of choice.

And unsurprising given her track record but Rachel Johnson’s defence of her brother a mix of enraging and baffling, not least as to why she thinks anyone cares for her views?
Johnson the wrong man at the wrong moment, the wrong man at any moment, a simply wrong man
Johnson spent years charming, bluffing, and backstabbing his way to the top.

Positioning himself as a latter-day Churchill when the moment came and leadership was desperately needed, he showed us who he was...

And thousands died.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

When asked who is the most famous person you’ve met watching build up to Wales and All Blacks - I ran over Jonah Lomu on my bike when he stepped in front of me accidentally in Singapore, when NZ was training for the Commonwealth Games sevens in KL. Bob Dylan in Oxford similarly, though no contact!

Has been clear for many years that the Mandelson mantra about Labour not being concerned with extreme wealth provided taxes were paid missed the corrosive issue of extreme inequality. That is extreme wealth is acquired generally at the expense of others and history shows where that leads.
Zoe Lyons, "There's such a massive gap now between the rich and poor in this country that if you are genuinely are on lower wages, and inflation is hitting you, it's really bloody hard to survive"

"There are people in this country working full time using food banks, that should never happen"

Trite but WTF does Putin have on The Orange Felon??
The arrogance of Putin & Trump coming up with a peace plan that did not involve Ukraine is breathtaking. For them to consider that the Ukrainians would agree to cede territory & the right to an army big enough to protect themselves from the biggest threat to world peace beggars belief, doesn’t it?
