... but it was an elephant. That's why the fence was knocked flat. 😉

Maybe made worse by jet lag - it takes longer to get over flights when you are older and don't get enough recovery time (it does for me now).

🚨 Greg here is having a rough day. Gassing protesters and journalists is an abuse of power: Tear gassing families on their way to a park for an annual Halloween celebration is beyond an abuse of power. That is child endangerment; abuse.

This is the owner of the platform that our ever decisive and dynamic government is bolstering by staying on it?

You don't need to ban it, just boycott it. There should be zero interaction with it by all UK departments and agencies. Also launch a tax investigation while you are at it.

The government, every public body, and all MPs need to get off X, right effing now. Stop helping to fund this maniac.

We also wonder this

No real enforcement now, why would a change of law do anything to fix that?

Yet another pathetic wrong call to go with all the other wrong calls. This government is in serious trouble - all from it's own ineptitude, bad judgment and a leadership that connects with no one except it's own policy wonk cabal.

Just that nagging thought that never mind the economy Labour is doing badly in polls because it really doesn't look like a government in charge of anything least of all having a coherent message.

I think you are far too positive about #BlueLabour - I would say they are toxic for everyone who is not in their policy wonk cabal.
#BlueLabour overthink everything, then make the wrong call.
It is why @teamlabouruk.bsky.social are failing, a do nothing govt, busy with soundbites & wrong calls.

#BlueLabour isn’t very appealing to *anyone* as far as I can tell.

It looks like that because it’s true. I remember cabinet member Bridget Phillipson giggling and grinning about the ECHR when asked about it on tv a few weeks ago.
If they won’t stand up for it, it means they don’t care about it, & if they don’t care about human rights, f**k ‘em.

I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

#GazaGenocide, 29 Oct 2025
Funerals across Gaza as #Israel violates truce, kills 104 Palestinians.
Israel says it has “resumed enforcing ceasefire” after at least 104 people were killed in strikes across Gaza, including at least 46 children, according to medical sources.

Elon Musk is lying.

It's been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was duly elected to Congress.

But Speaker Johnson is denying her constituents representation and refusing to swear her in because she is the last signature needed to force a vote to release the Epstein files.

Shameful.

Q: What's your reaction to yesterday's purge of senior ICE officials? When is it time for Congress to do some oversight?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details of that yet. I just heard about that, literally I was walking in.

Agree with this obviously.

But don't forget *the government* has also proposed vindictive, unpopular and economically damaging restrictions on ILR which could affect 100,000s of people here now, legally, mostly working. This is now the more immediate issue..

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

Increase the minimum wage.

UK have been providing intelligence to Israel on the people of Gaza to assist the IDF.

Is the UK Government complicit with the attack on Gaza by Israel?

🚨ICE posing as sheriff in Hollywood, CA. Governor Newsom is going to see this and he is going to be lit with rage, as he should be. The guy asking questions on video pointing out all the illegal acts they are committing. Let’s make sure he sees what happened tonight. 1/2

‘London has turned into something crazy’: is the city in the grip of a crime wave? Perception of runaway crime partly blamed for ‘driving away the super-rich’ but in reality some high-profile offences such as watch theft are falling

Underreported News Alert!

'In a city that's home to nine million people, Londoners are less likely (26.4 offences per 1,000 people) to be a victim of violent crime than people across the rest of England and Wales (31.9 offences per 1,000 people).'

Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House One man's robot vacuum was constantly communicating with its manufacturer, sending a detailed 3D map of his house halfway across the world.

“Dozens of smart vacuums” are likely operating similar systems. “Our homes are filled with cameras, microphones, and mobile sensors connected to companies we barely know, all capable of being weaponized with a single line of code,” he wrote.

‘Lawless London’ is safer than it’s been in decades Official data suggests the capital may be safer than at any time in the past half century, comfortably beating other major cities

"While public concern often focuses on youth violence, today, a man aged 31 to 50 is more likely to be admitted to hospital with a violence-related injury than a boy aged 11 to 17."

London: safer than ever. Because we all need reminding of good news!

It just got 10% dumber.

Not a joke: Trump just imposed an additional 10 percent tariff on Canada because he still doesn't understand that Reagan was a vehement free trader. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Aaron Rupar®@atrupar.com • 20h Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was Al or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

He is way beyond deranged.
