Nei takk

Until the media runs clear loud reporting on how Reforms claims are unfounded & MPs highlight this straight dishonesty in parliament in any way they can the nonsense will persist

An expressive watercolour of a house sparrow

Back to my expressive bird collection, this is a male house sparrow. He was perched on my stone garden wall waiting for a turn on the bird feeder.

All relief flights from Dubai should be met at arrivals with signs saying "HM Revenue & Customs welcomes you back to the UK"

A senior Danish guy in the Social Democrats said to me that Denmark does not think of itself as a multicultural country whereas Britain does, which makes our situation very different.

Sleepy owl found resting among items on a New York antique store shelf Shoppers in upstate New York month turned up a rare find while perusing a local antique store this month: a live owl resting peacefully among items on a shelf.

Really don't understand how this isn't a bigger scandal. This is conspiracy to commit federal witness tampering (and likely witness murder) for the purpose of covering up a foreign government's deal with organized crime, a deal that has been affirmed by the DOJ.

About a dozen herons on a large industrial dock, with one heron in the foreground in focus and the rest somewhat blurrier. All of the herons are pointing their necks and beaks straight up as they keep an eye on an (unpictured) eagle overhead.

While I was attempting to photograph herons through the chain link fence, a juvenile eagle flew overhead. #LookUp

I don't know why exactly, but I can't stop watching this

Political journalism in this country often treats Muslims the same way it treats white working class people – i.e. as some sort of hive mind rather than a very diverse group of people with their own views.

It's so insanely patronising and elitist.

Anyway. I assume thus will be one of those rare mornings where Nigel Farage won't turn up on Radio 4 at breakfast time. No mstter how much they beg him.

So that's nice.

How embarrassing for him that he is reduced to demeaning the very people he’s failed to persuade enough of rather than asking himself why the people of Gorton and Denton might not want to be represented by a twerpish Partridgean ethnonationalist.

laughing my ass off this so stupid

Ahahaha what do they think happened to all those horses that used to pull carriages? Did they all go to live on a farm upstate? 😂

First snow in Reykjavík, Iceland in 72 days. For us snowfall lovers: hallelujah!

(please note: I said "snowfall." not a huge fan of it after this lol)
#iceland #weather #snow

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

for those who think £75,000 isn’t much

reminder that 1994 “cash for questions” scandal involved payments of £1,000

(In July 1994, The Sunday Times approached several MPs, with two Conservative MPs, Graham Riddick and David Tredinnick, accepting cheques for £1,000 to table a parliamentary question)

when broadcasters repeat Mandelson claim he was “not motivated by financial gain”

please also report the $75,000 of financial gain Mandelson received from Epstein in 2004 and 2004

and the £10s of thousands Mandelson’s husband received from Epstein in 2009/10

plus free flights & mansion stays

Billionaire halts mass eviction after London Centric investigation Exclusive: Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital hoped to replace hundreds of tenants with more lucrative temporary accommodation. That plan has been shelved – for now.

Asif Aziz's Criterion Capital halts mass eviction after London Centric uncovered what was going on. Hundreds of Londoners now receiving bizarre door-to-door visits blaming misinformation and being asked to record videos saying they don't want to be evicted. www.londoncentric.media/p/asif-aziz-...

Local Newspapers: You want to read this news story? NO! WRONG! BAD! Terrible, to go to a news website for news! Look at all these AI pictures of manky feet and belly fat as punishment!

A line in the snow with the impressions of bird wings at both ends of the line. There is a patch of rough snow on the right that looks like clouds.

Several impressions of bird wings on the snow.

Bird created impressions on the snow. It is long and bird shaped with a beak and head on the left and tail feathers on the right. It also kind of looks like a fish.

Bird snow angels🥰 #birds

A white Little Egret stands motionless in deep blue water, its long black bill pointed forward and its pale yellow eye sharply defined. Fine, delicate feathers trail from its body, catching the light. The still surface creates a clear reflection of the bird beneath it, slightly rippled but almost symmetrical, emphasising the calm, minimalist composition.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BirdsInTheirElement , birds in their natural environment, the alt is #Seabirds Good luck and yes my favourite birds are Little Egrets 😁😁 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

If Starmer 2.0 means nothing else, perhaps it can mean this…

This is absolutely shocking, both for the hundreds of people who are being evicted and for plans of this company to relet flats as temporary accommodation which will cost huge amounts of money. Indeed, families made homeless could well find themselves back in same property but costing thousands more

The same scumbag who's been trying to shut down the best cinemas in Central London.

Previous generations of rich people knew that it was important for them to shut the fuck up and build libraries and parks and hospitals since that was the only way we would tolerate them in society. This generation of rich people have forgotten why this was necessary. We should remind them.

Think if you give a Liz Truss venture half a million, it's not even a case that you need to be taxed more, but you should be made a ward of the state and your assets seized for your own safety.

And thou mayest aske thyself, 'How do Ich werke thys?'
And thou mayest aske thyself, 'Wher ys that large destrier?'
And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my beautiful castle!'
And thou mayest telle thyself, 'Thys nys not my swift goshawk!'
