Where tourists seldom tread, part 18: three seaside towns that defy the tides of fashion Ayr, Bangor and Millom routinely bring up the rear in coastal town polls, but they offer a calmer alternative to the brash traditional seaside resorts

Another article written by someone remotely from out of date internet information. I live near Millom and it's great, but not for the reasons in this article. I suspect the writer has never even been here www.theguardian.com/travel/2025/...

If any government was serious about reducing undocumented working they'd provide people seeking asylum with the right to work, which has cross party support, helps people rebuild lives faster and could generate £8 billion pa for the government in reduced expenditure and increased tax revenue. 2/2

Omg. Philp is shadow home sec. They really are desperate #r4today

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

#bbcpm has just fact checked and debunked Robert Jenricks rhetoric on #r4today. Followed immediately by repeating Jenricks data on the 6pm news headlines.

Less than 230,000 people signed up to Farage’s party Reform UK - media won’t shut the fuck up about it.

Over 600,000 people signed up to Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s new party - absolute crickets from the media.

You will never convince me the media isn’t complicit in the rise of the far right

I was thinking the same

IMHO no person who has never menstruated should be allowed to graduate from medical school until they have experienced a period pain simulation

Dear Labour - there is not enough red meat you can throw a Reform voter to get them to vote for you. Stop bloody trying as you aren’t getting them on side but are losing everyone else! How the hell can we all see this but not you!?

s/s from article Was there a consensus among the doctors you were working with that you were witnessing a genocide? Dr. Yousaf: There was no doubt. Dr. Rana: Without a doubt. Dr. Yousaf: I'd love to meet a doctor who was there for more than seven days who would say that what they saw wasn't a genocide. Dr. Rana: In terms of war crimes and things like that, we saw targeting of children. We saw young men targeted with rifle shots to their thighs to try to require amputation of their legs. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/08/dnc-palestine-gaza-doctors-uncommitted-israel-kamala-harris/

There were quadcopters targeting men in their groins and genitals. They would come in with no other injuries and would lose their testicles. They're healthy young men, but they'll never have kids. One of the surgeons I was speaking to said, This is the seventh one like this I've seen. This is something they do. A quadcopter comes in and just targets a young man. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/08/dnc-palestine-gaza-doctors-uncommitted-israel-kamala-harris/

I asked the urologist who was doing the operation, How many of these have you seen? Too many to count, he said. The reason I believe him is that when he finished reconstructing this young man, I was so amazed at his proficiency. This was obviously somebody who'd done a ton of this type of case. Either you're trying to decimate the future of a society, or it's just sick entertainment for sociopaths. And I don't know which one it is. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/08/dnc-palestine-gaza-doctors-uncommitted-israel-kamala-harris/

This is sadly not the first doctor reporting that IDF soldiers are shooting young Palestinian males in the testicles.

It seems to be a deliberate act of genocide, to prevent them fathering children.

Dear
@BBC

Get Farage off our screens for a while please. A long while. We wld like to see some decent,informed politicians e.g. those from the Green Party.
We know you have an agenda regarding the snake oil salesman but enough is enough.
Yours sincerely,
The UK (decent majority)

⏳Final week to sign up to the Green Party.

🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

Science and medicine gave us this, folks.

Sorry for the string of videos, but this is amazing and makes me wonder if this is what life could be like if we all just logged off the internet.

IG risolve

Left: Steve Reed, "Nationalising water companies would cost £100 billion, we'd have to take it from the NHS and Education, and it would take years of legal wrangling"

Right: Feargal Sharkey explains how to nationalise water companies without costing the taxpayer a penny

Ministerial payment restrictions being brought in by the Labour Government:

No severance pay for ministers who leave following serious Ministerial Code breach

No severance pay for ministers serving fewer than 6 months

Salary forfeiture for ministers returning to office within 3 months of leaving

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

On August 1st, vote for a leader who’ll take on Reform.

Challenge this Labour government.

And take the fight to the power and wealth they seek to protect.

It’s time for bold leadership.

This is why the BBC has a problem and why we all have a problem

Labour seems totally incapable of cleaning up our water. Banning bonuses is least they should do (& water companies are getting round it anyway). Re-announcing old pledges & peddling myths about cost of nationalisation won’t cut it. Bring water into public hands now #bbclaurak

Of all the ways Keir Starmer has disappointed me, near the top is the nauseous cringe of a privileged white man lecturing the first black woman elected to parliament on the right way to talk about racism.

Just a reminder that the international criminal court (y'know, The Hague) has ARREST WARRANTS out for Netenyahu and Yoav Gallant for crimes against humanity.

Acknowleding this is, according to the British government, a terrorist action punishable by over a decade in prison.

Stand for justice.

Excellent. I'm not on insta but there's lots of silentmiddlechild on here if you search.

There's an account on Instagram called 'silentmiddlechild'. It asks "the smart sibling" to explain US politics, & people are flashed by this kid's eloquence, lucidity, & analytical thinking. As an example, here he is on citizenship birthright. Give it 2 minutes of your time. 1/2
