Mmmm. This was a response to an LBC James O'Brien post, but it seems to have become detached - how odd 🫤

So yes then. 🤔

A caller this morning said "they got everything they wished for ..." and I instantly thought of the Terry Pratchett lines. In fairy stories, the hero always gets 3 wishes; one of the characters spends a lot of the book asking what the 3rd wish is.
Turns out, it's the one that undoes all the others.

Either she hasn't read the books, or she didn't understand them. 🤷

I have to admit being a little intrigued by responses from someone that I've presumably blocked since I can't see it. 🤫

Straight from the Trump playbook.

It was good to see the journalist calmly and professionally push back, "What did I do wrong? I did not shut you down. You got to talk about what you wanted for at least 5 minutes".

The problem is that the local subscribers to Reform UK Ltd believed the lies and rhetoric they were fed. They really believed that LAs were cash rich and wasteful. Now they're left holding the baby. More fool them 🤷

"No gaffes" 🤣

🤔🥴😂

Watching Foyle's War Season 7 and what it needs is a cross over episode with Foyle and George Smiley 😁

Another day of Reform UK silence on Nathan Gill.

Nigel Farage
Richard Tice
Dr David Bull
Paul Nuttall

All served as MEPs alongside him, all members of UKIP and Reform UK.

Did they know?

The silence is deafening.

Greenham Common anyone?

How many times should people have been allowed to protest against slavery or for votes for women?

If freedom to protest is limited, it's not a freedom.

Unicorns. She's promising more unicorns. Because the Brexit unicorns arrived just as promised /s

The s137 offence can attract a prison sentence.

In fairness, the relevant enforcement body is probably the Highways dept, but the police should not be assisting in the commission of an offence, whether or not they're the enforcement authority.

Can the executive create criminal offences in the US, without it going through the legal process?

Apparently not, since he doesn't know the difference between the Magistrates' Court, and the Crown Court 🤔

You'd think that a "journalist" that's been convicted multiple times would know the difference between a Magistrates' Court and a Crown Court. 🤫

I think that's a wise decision. Thank you.

By spreading their disinformation, yes you are.

I'm a Lib Dem voter, and will continue to be. There's enough wrong with Starmer's policies, without sharing Reform lies. Argue the policies, not the lies.

You've got to do something to lift a dreary Friday afternoon 🤣

No. They're turning their made up quotes on him. Starmer makes enough mistakes that you don't need to do Reform UK Ltd's work for them.

Don't be daft. We haven't got to the "they've banned the poppy" season yet! You can't start on the "they've banned Christmas until mid November". 🤣

Kemi Badenoch mistakenly says NI voted in favour of Brexit In a BBC NI interview, the Tory leader said the "last time I checked, Northern Ireland did vote to leave".

@mrjamesob.bsky.social

No gaffes here. 🤣

BBC News - Badenoch mistakenly says NI voted in favour of Brexit

... by a tiny majority (within the margin for error), in an advisory referendum that the government got through parliament by saying that the result wouldn't be mandatory. 🤷

But we are where we are.

A question for the Police and Crime Commissioner perhaps.

Obstructing the Highway; S137 of the Highways Act?

Even if it wasn't a criminal offence, why are the police assisting in a civil breach?

Again, it's the old, "I know I was speeding, but look at all those cars blasting past, while you're dealing with my ticket" defence. 🤣

In which case, why were there police officers assisting them, instead of stopping them?

Who's paying for this?!

Cherry pickers aren't cheap. If the have a highways license to close off the highway, that's more cost.
