Not a huge fan of Brexit…or the Tories. It’s not my fault, I voted to Remain. Not a huge fan of unsolicited DM’s either. Please don’t. Many thanks. From Stoke on Trent. Love music, antiques and collectibles, travel and cooking

That’s fine. Decided not to visit again after Roe v Wade was overturned, doubled down on this decision when Trump was elected and this really is the finisher. I will never go to USA again (despite wonderful holidays in the past). Country has gone backwards. Shame

Presumably along with this service to prevent us ladies (not men of course) getting too fat, will be a reduction in the cost?

I can’t believe UK media has spent the last 2 weeks discussing whether it ‘s fair to call Farage a racist based on his teenage behaviour… As titillating as it is to question accounts of the bullying behaviour of a boy Nazi they could just look at what he does as an adult .

Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat"

"Today we have 46,000 a year"

"And do you know why?"

"Brexit"

"Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage"

Ever the master of his craft, Rik Mayall switches effortlessly and hilariously from Alan B’Stard to Rick/Richie in this Comic Relief sketch. Brilliant.

In a surprise to absolutely no one, the mum she’s describing is not claiming benefits as a “lifestyle choice”.

This paywalled article is full of “in my grandparents day, blah blah blah” and nasty sneery comments about latest iPhones for spoilt children🙄

I’m a day late in hearing the news about Imran Sherwani. Very sorry to hear of his passing. Great sportsman and fabulous human. RIP Sir

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.

Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

Because this does NOT add up!

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

I would’ve have loved to have seen Thin Lizzy. My brother had tickets but my parents insisted I was too young to go with him. Bah!

Done Jury Service once on a minor fraud case.There definitely needs to be changes made to the process…it feels like such a waste of everyone’s time, mainly sitting in the Jury waiting room for hours and hours and hours…, but I’m torn as to how this could be done

My GP surgery is pretty good. No issues with getting an appointment or tel call via an online triage system (which you don’t have to use if it’s a struggle). Minor issues now and again with my prescription but I’d rate my surgery highly.

Your reminder that the EU offered to freeze Brexit talks in 2020 so we could focus on Covid but Johnson said no. He then fucked up both: partying while 23,000 needlessly died & did a Brexit so shit the economic impact (-8% GDP) is worse than predictions he described as “the work of gloomsters”

“How many refugees have been granted asylum in the UK?”

Most people overestimate the number - by a lot. With far-right figures spreading misinformation, it’s hard for the public to know the truth.

Watch the video to see just how wide the gap is between perception and reality.
