Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.

Authorities Investigating After Home Of South Carolina Judge Who Ruled Against Trump's DOJ Is Destroyed In Explosion

This is Trump's America.

Abandoned pub still has poured pint sitting on counter after 20 years untouched The Harrow, located in Kent, has been sitting abandoned since 2006 - and it looks like punters were preparing to return, with a pint left standing on the bar counter

So sad #SaveOurPubs #SupportPubs

Tories misspell the country they wish to run.....

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

This rather hard hitting video of a police officer being questioned about his role in arresting peaceful protesters and watching it land is well worth a view.

In the month of the 100th birthday of Margaret Thatcher, let us pause to reflect on what a cruel, heartless twat she was.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Pick a side, dickhead.

Kemi Badenoch doesn't seem to understand that the ECHR was set up to protect everyone from people like her.

Freedom is just another name for “a gap in the law”.

On the anniversary of The Battle of Cable Street, let us remember that the Daily Mail was cheering on Fascists then and continues that proud tradition today.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Wow. It can't come easy being so misogynistic.
You would really have to work hard on that.

Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised' The British Transport Police will not investigate many categories of bicycle theft, the BBC learns.

See it. Say it. Sod off.

Seventeen Words: Britain’s Recognition of Palestine and the Reckoning That Must Follow Seventeen words in 1917 condemned Palestine to a century of dispossession. Britain's recognition today is just the beginning of a long-overdue reckoning.

I would say according to International law, Yes he is

Seventeen words in 1917 condemned Palestine to a century of dispossession. Britain's recognition today is just the beginning of a long-overdue reckoning w/ genocide and complicity.

Evil people: Migrants get free cake!

The facts: Migrants do not get free cake.

Starmer: We will end free cake for migrants!

Starmer defenders: no this is very clever because it reassures voters without changing existing policy

Voters: Evil people were right about cake! I think I'll vote Evil.

Visions of the future

From the new Private Eye, out now.

The good news: Michelle Mone's company ordered to pay back £122m for supplying dodgy PPE.
The bad news: the company has less than £1m and is about to go into administration.
This will cost Mone fuck all and she still has a peerage.

Medpro is liable, not her (unless they've got a really bad accountant) which means they'll get to keep the millions they siphoned off. I'd guess Medpro will go bust without paying back the money. The yacht belongs to a company based in the IoM so won't be sold. And that's how capitalism works!

Reform say it is "disgusting and libellous" to suggest that Nigel Farage flirted with Hitler Youth when he was young.

Here's how a former teacher at his school remembers it

When David Lammy says Nigel Farage flirted with Hitler Youth, he’s referring to the fact that teachers from his school described him as a Fascist and recalled how he marched through a Sussex village singing Hitler Youth songs. Sounds pretty flirty to me.

This could be a bit of a game changer for kegs.
I've chatted with the guy behind it, and he's pretty confident on it handling pressure properly etc.
Would be interested to see if it can be used as a 10l, 20l and 30l keg depending on what the pub orders.

Tony Blair looking up at the camera with a look of pure evil. Imagine someone declaring proudly “I have eaten your children” and that sort of sums it up.

For an upstanding Christian gentleman, Tony Blair’s persistent attempts to look like Satan in all his photos is remarkable.

Dear colleague,

Thank you for your questions about the form, which could be answered by reading the form, or by reading the guidelines supplied with the form, or by applying a stunned duckling's worth of common sense.

Happy to help, NCD.

Taking a moment to imagine the incandescent outrage in the Daily Malice and the rest of the Distraction Media, if other countries demanded British 'expatriates' learn the language to a high standard, volunteer in the community etc, or they'd be uprooted from their lives and shipped back to the UK.

"AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations" is such a good sentence.

A Cathay Pacific plane.

When I was a teenager there was a bus direct from my hometown in Germany to London - we had a British army base, and this direct bus connection was one of the benefits of that. One summer I went on that bus to go volunteer in an old people's home in Southend-on-Sea. I had just turned 18 and was... 🧵
