I think too many people believe the propaganda behind Capitalism, that it is seeking to achieve something, or that it rewards hard work or that it encourages competition or innovation.

It is just a system of control.

Shackles in the form of currency.

In Another Break With Trump, Pope Leo Skips U.S. 250th Celebration for Migrant Island As Trump builds his presidency around America’s 250th anniversary, the pope heads to Europe’s most symbolic migrant crossing — days after rejecting the president’s “Board of Peace.”

NEW: JD Vance flew to Rome to formally invite Pope Leo XIV to join America’s 250th anniversary celebration.

The first American pope has declined — days after rejecting President Trump’s “Board of Peace” invitation.

On July 4, he’ll be in Lampedusa, standing with migrants.

When Norfolk Police ask Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor if he has any special dietary requirements whilst in custody:

My first day as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's surprise birthday party planner seems to have gone rather well, & he seemed completely overwhelmed by the surprise.
I have now added "by royal appointment " to my CV

Oh, the grand old duke of york
He ██████████████████
He ██████████████████
And he ██████████████████

I encourage everyone to read Virginia Giuffre's memoir, Nobody’s Girl, published posthumously in October 2025, and to share it with others.

The best way to honour her legacy is to believe & support sexual abuse survivors, and amplify their voices above the power & wealth that seeks to silence them.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Agreed.

Finland's President Alexander Stubb with a confident explanation why countries can't narrowly be judged on GDP alone. Welfare system nations aren't just the happiest but also economically successful. [Spain is currently the EU's economic powerhouse.]

In the end, what are countries for? People.

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Excellent response to a dumb question.

Farage's Reform Party - reversing Robin Hood
Stealing from the poorest and most vulnerable people to give to the (obscenely) wealthiest.
Man of the millionaire people strikes again.

Same as last time.

They promise sunlit uplands, but deliver only swamps and all the creatures that live in them.

Problem is, Jenrick, you can go on #r4today and bemoan the state of the economy and the cost of living, you can claim to be oh so concerned… but we all know you’re full of shit. We know you don’t care. You spent years failing us as a Tory. You’ve swapped rosettes, not had a personality transplant.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

I despise stupid cunts who pontificate to others about alienating allies, having alienated every nation on the continent we live on, out of sheer bigotry and spite.

Go fuck yourself Nigel Farage.

And all who sail with you.

How to make pancakes the british way:
Step 1: remember it's pancake day
Step 2: work all day because you are a cog in the capitalism nightmare machine
Step 3: Too tired to make pancakes
Step 4: no pancakes for you

It’s telling that one “profession“ for which there is no educational or skills minimum requirement, is politics.

We know who four of the five lecterns are for - Farage, Tice, Jenrick, Yusuf - but the identity of the fifth Beatle is for now a mystery. Presumably they want *one* woman at least.

I’m in Westminster where Nigel Farage is about to unveil his ‘shadow cabinet’ and the decor is slightly bonkers. Looks like he’s going to launch a Simon Cowell-era boyband instead.
