The ‘rectification’ was a deletion of my answer to his post intending to display his dick pic (but only if it was in 3-D) and I had said ‘no-one cared’ tut, tut.
Sorry you misunderstood 😂 easily done. But hey, what diff is yet another prick on the internet anyway? 😂
Hope you don’t run out of lube.

Hi Nigel Farage, the accounts to May 24 for Thorn in the Side (your 'one man band' company) showed huge leap in cash in one year.

What's that all about? Transparency is key.

This is great.

As I wrote in the Globe a few weeks ago, all public officials -- and municipalities, too -- should leave X.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

Trapped in his tiny, mediocre little mind, illogically denying the benefit of reading, which means gaining insight into human emotion, vicarious experience, imaginary journeys & historical facts, with additional improvement in intellect, vocabulary & verbal fluency.
Stays stuck in his own stupidity

After Ecuador banned oil drilling to protect rainforests and indigenous people, the US targeted "designated terrorist organisations" in that country.

Were these "terrorist organisations" protecting the rainforests, Donald, and were they opposed to oil drillings?

I've just watched the first few minutes of the BBC 6pm news and Chris Mason, with his appalling, cynical & negative downer of a report on the Govt. over Iran. His language is unworthy of a professional, unbias news service. I turned over to France24, to get a grown up version of the news.

UPDATE: This man was just appointed Secretary of Homeland Security. No, really.

It’s not just that he’s the dumbest Senator in Congress. He might be the dumbest American in America.

Finished as a serious (and safe) country.

Noem has been fired. Senator Markwayne Mullin replaces her at Homeland Security.

Stop being divisive. Pensioners are split like the rest of the country. I voted Remain & I vote Labour. I get it, lots of older pensioners voted Brexit, they believed the fucking lies on the side of that bastard bus. But that’s down to Farage, Johnson & their ilk supported by the right wing press.

NEW: Trump says UK PM Starmer, “should be giving us, without question or hesitation, things like bases”. (New York Post)

Astonishing that the US president thinks he can issue commands to the leaders of foreign nations, including allies.

Countries need to keep telling him “no”. Sovereignty matters.

Funny how the prices have gone up before the failure of the tankers to get here and have their cargos processed into fuel.

Profiteering much!?

The only reason Trump is attacking the UK is he's in a hole.Now he needs us who he says stood back in Afghanistan. Now he is asking Ukraine for drone help after openly supporting Russia. Be sure if we helped the US to their would be another tirade of abuse & self congratulation that they did it all!
