So a convicted felon, sex offender and insurrectionist is made President of the United States and his ketamine-soaked plutocrat sidekick, Musk, performs Nazi salutes at his inauguration.
Oh America, what the hell have you done? To yourselves and to the world?
A very dark age begins.

The coming battle between social media and the state

Behind the alignment of X and Meta with Trump is a cold business logic — and a position of weakness rather than strength

Labour has been in power for just short of 6 months. Can we remember what it was like before? Gaslighting, corruption, incompetence, economic disaster, ruined public services? If you're attacking Labour for not having fixed 14 years of neo-liberalism in 6 months, get a grip. Here's what they've done

Ratcliffe (

Piss off and buy Fulham

The liars, of course, have all moved on to new cons & deceptions. The fishing industry can't. A vaguely honest media would be holding Farage & the rest to account for this instead of promoting a meaningless petition...

Not even a debate about Guardiola v Ferguson. Get a grip.

Ferguson broke the Old Firm in Scotland and won 10 trophies with provincial Aberdeen including a European final win v Real Madrid

Then restored MUFC to glory after decades of failure

Pep has always followed the easy path. Flat track bully

Sir Tom wrote a book which he said was to raise funds for the NHS.

He died, his daughter made herself head of his charity, and gave the entire £1.47m raised to herself.

We really should be talking about prison.

Lets be honest, why should someone not have to pay a tax that everyone else has to, just because they are a 'farmer'.

It is ridiculous.

On Monday we learnt that 1 in 3 children are living in poverty…

And that deprivation has hit a record high

Given their new found compassion for struggling Brits

Where’s Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Andrew Lloyd Webber to fight their corner?

…anywhere?

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Labour is hiking taxes on billionaires.

Don’t be distracted by the farmers protesting in Westminster. Inheritance tax on farmland means the super rich will pay their fair share.

Here’s who’s most affected:

Keir's Starmer's spokesperson asked if the PM is "concerned" about being at the G20 rather than being in Downing St for the farmers protest tomorrow

Meet for key discussions with world leaders, or hang around to hear Jeremy Clarkson outside your house abusing you through a megaphone. A real dilemma
