Total wacko.
Can’t decide whether this is an argument for or against character limits on social media posts.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Robin Hood robbed from the rich to give to the poor, despite an exodus of barons to the Middle East. So obviously it can be done.

I had people call me callous when I was criticising Johnson, them saying "nobody could have done better". It turns out that a lot of people could have done better and would have meant that thousands of people wouldn't have died. I think the UK is deserving an apology at the very least.

After today's confirmation (as if it was needed) that Johnson was nothing more than a lazy, ignorant bungler of a PM, I wonder if there will be any contrition or admission of remorse from the usual media suspects on how they fluffed him up and sold a big fat lie?
It's a rhetorical question..

“The BBC is not an American broadcaster, and it doesn’t owe any obligation to shareholders determined to close deals and make profits. Its clash with Trump is a chance to show the advantages of being a public broadcaster by standing up for the truth. It should seize that opportunity.”
The BBC was right about the Capitol riots. In a sane world, Trump would be in jail
Trump faced impeachment over the riots, and in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty

A year into power Keir Starmer's Labour has presided over causing a marginalised community to almost universally be living in fear for their safety.
In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people.

As only 4% of multibuy deals by major retailers are on fruit and veg we hope supermarkets will use the opportunity to start promoting more staple healthy foods!
