It looks wonderful. I wish I was there right now.

you'd think that the fact the president of the united states is completely fucking insane would be a bigger news story

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.

🚨 Today, after years of police using facial recognition without proper laws or safeguards, the Home Office has finally launched a public consultation. This is our chance to have our say.

Spray-painted yellow stencil on a sidewalk reads “NEIGHBOR KIDNAPPED HERE” and, underneath, “ABOLISH ICE.” A few dry leaves are scattered around the pavement. The tweet above says, “Seattle is using stencils when neighbors go missing.”

Powerful.

A yellow tractor on a London street, driven by a man dressed as Father Christmas. The sign on the front reads 'Farmer Christmas: The Naughty List. Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, David Lammy, Diane Abbott, Angela Rayner, the BBC.'

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

US diplomacy: We got ChatGPT to cook up a 28 point plan. 27 of them are how we screw you over.

EU diplomacy: Hey, you like Lego, right?

Today, Ukrainians honor the memory of those who perished during the Holodomor — the genocide orchestrated by the USSR in 1932–1933 to crush resistance to the communist regime and to erase Ukrainians as an independent nation.

UK Labour want everyone to know that their new asylum policies, inc stealing the valuables of asylum seekers, were inspired by the Danish Social Democrats.

In Denmark's local elections yesterday the Soc Dems took a hammering, losing Copenhagen for the first time in 122 years. The new mayor? Green.

"We have become the destination of choice in Europe" according to the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood.

Data from Eurostat & the Home Office shows the UK had the fifth largest number of claims of the EU/UK area in 2025, at 108,000... assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/691ae0...

Labourism is a disease

After a mercifully short search I have found my copy, also bought in 1977. Time for another read.

So, dreadful AI trash to launch 'Your Party'. Also no women to be seen. 😑

Looking at the Telraam figures for St. Clements the number of cars travelling through are down about 40% post congestion charge.

I'd say a great success.

Glad that someone has finally taken responsibility for the appalling assault on democracy that was the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Slightly confused that it's the Director-General of the BBC, but what do I know?

Private jets don't pay fuel tax. Now I don't either. You pay fuel duty. Why don’t billionaires? This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get. Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for…

This video is brilliant: buff.ly/1zyTWmM

Seems a total slam dunk that owners of private jets should pay fuel duties. Doesn't it?

The answer is annoying.

Reform UK, the Russian spy and rolls of Kremlin cash: the inside story of Nathan Gill How did a former Mormon bishop end up pleading guilty to taking bribes to make statements in favour of Russia in the European parliament?

I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament

They were crooks and shysters to a man

They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today

UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy

"Are we the baddies?"

This is what happened to my Grandfather in Frankfurt, Germany on 9th November 1938, commonly known as Kristallnacht.

And what about those UK politicians who have served the interests of Putin's terrorist kleptocracy, in some cases for money (considerably more money than was paid to these low-level operatives)?

When will we finally see the unredacted Russia Report?

[Scene is a high school classroom. A teacher is writing on the whiteboard 'ACT 2 SCENE 3'.] TEACHER: OK class - open up Macbeth to Act 2 Scene 3... TEACHER: So - does anybody have any ideas on Shakespeares meaning behind the character of 'the Porter' in this scene? [A voice comes from off-scene, behind the teacher's back[. VOICE: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. TEACHER [turning round]: Sorry….. who are you? [We see a wider scene that shows it is the GHOST OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, hovering over the heads of the startled students] SHAKESPEARE: I'm the Ghost of Shakespeare and I've come back to say: this scene means *absolutely nothing*. The Porter is a funny drunk bloke I lobbed in to cover a costume change! I mean like, not everything I did was genius OK? Stop giving me the ick. TEACHER: So um...what do you suggest we study? SHAKESPEARE: The most important text in British culture! TEACHER: Which is...? SHAKESPEARE: 'Bollocks People Say on the Internet.' TEACHER: You think we should study... bollocks people say on the internet? SHAKESPEARE: Yes. TEACHER: But Mr Shakespeare... your Porter scene was a question in a past GCSE paper... We need to analyse it so the kids don't end up failing their exams... SHAKESPEARE: Yes, and I'm just suggesting you should analyse Bollocks People Say on the Internet instead, so they don't end up painting flags on roundabouts. [Silent pause] TEACHER: OK class - open up your phones to X... [ends]

President Zelenskyy:

Yesterday, Russia attacked a kindergarten.

The "second army in the world" fighting against Ukrainian children. This doesn't show that they want to stop this war.

Racist fearmongering propaganda in the age of AI slop. WTF

Done with absolutely no subtlety. It’s just so over the top. I mean, the opening with Mamdani eating rice?!?!?!?

I just cannot take this shit seriously. If you're a senior Labour figure and think that the party's stance is cowardly but are too afraid to put your name on the record saying it YOU ARE A COWARD.

Of everything he has done, this somehow hits different.

It lays bare the vacuous, moral bankruptcy of the man and, perhaps more than anything, the generational cowardice of those who should stop him, but won’t.

Tel Aviv football derby between Hapoel and Maccabi called off after rioting Israeli police make nine arrests, citing ‘disorderly conduct, riots, injured police officers’ and infrastructure damage

Starmer should never have got involved with the decision of the local authorities in Birmingham regarding the Villa match and linking it to anti-semitism was idiotic.
