It's disgraceful that Nigel Farage is egging Donald Trump on as he attacks the BBC and tries to pick pockets of millions of licence fee payers.

It's #WorldBookDay, which people traditionally celebrate by buying books about the Anglo-Saxons, Edward I, King John or the Norman Conquest.

Here's video of Steve Bannon doing a Sieg Heil today at CPAC. It is what it is and it's what Bannon intended. Don't let yourself be gaslit.

Calling Zelensky a “Dictator” must be where the line is drawn.
It is my sincere hope that the whole political spectrum in the United Kingdom will speak with one voice in opposition to Trump’s lies.

Cinemas should do 'no food allowed' screenings, and charge double the standard ticket price, for those that can go two hours without stuffing their faces. I can't be the only one that can't stand the constant rustling, crinkling, scoffing and slurping. Fucking disgusting pigs.

The inheritance tax thing is hurting the Prime Minister as "Starmer" rhymes with "Farmer" and "Harmer." Given this, here are other things the PM should be wary about legislating on, in future: llamas. Robert Palmer. BBC One drama. Michelle Obama. Bananas In Pyjamas.
