What a cruel and heartless woman

Even her dog seems to be disgusted at her

Yep. Even in the narrow road that I live in, I sometimes have to walk in the road because cars are parked on the pavement!

Cars parked entirely on a pavement (sidewalk) leaving the narrow road clear

Before pavements were council-provided free car parking, they used to be for people to walk on and push prams on. (I am old and grumpy.)

Reeves suggests impact of Brexit on UK economy has been even worse than critics predicted at time Rachel Reeves has suggested that the impact of Brexit on the economy has been even worse than critics predicted when the UK voted to leave the EU. Speaking at the Regional Investment Summit in Birmingham, in response to a question about the budget, she said: “I don’t think that the past has to define our future. That’s why we are doing things differently. That’s why we are deregulating. It’s why we’re overturning the planning system. It’s why we are backing all regions of the UK with the capital spending that we’re putting in. Because I’m determined to defy those projections [from the OBR] and grow our economy quicker. We also know – and the OBR, I think, is going to be pretty frank about this [in its next report on the state of the economy, published to coincide with the budget on 26 November] – that things like austerity, the cuts to capital spending and Brexit, have had a bigger impact on our economy than even was projected back then. That’s why we are unashamedly rebuilding our relations with the European Union to reduce some of those costs that were, in my view, needlessly added to businesses since 2016 and since we formally left a few years ago.” The Guardian, 21st October, 11:56 BST

The tide is finally turning: the past doesn’t have to define the future, but we must acknowledge the damage Brexit has caused. By rebuilding our relationship with the European Union, we can begin to restore the trust that was broken almost a decade ago.

In 1974 (I think 🤔), the BBC did an experiment with quad sound.

Using:
R2 FM Stereo for the front sound
R3 FM Stereo for the rear sound.

And no, unfortunately I didn’t hear the effect.

Football team away supporters are regularly banned in Europe. All English teams were banned for five years from Europe. All quite normal in football and not anti English, anti Dutch or anti Israeli. Just anti thug!

And his wife! 😳

Unfortunately yes, Israel owns them

The people of Birmingham do not want zionists in their city. That's 2 million people. Starmer is ignoring the will of his own people purely because he so disgracefully bows down to Israel and America. He should be removed from office immediately.

Fuck Israel and fuck the Westminster that panders to them....it's not just Starmer. Too many of our politicians take the blood money and expect us not to notice.

Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were banned because of information from Interpol in Europe, who passed it on to the Home Office, who gave it to the Police, who banned them.

Is our Government really going to endanger the safety of our citizens just so it doesn't upset Israel?

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Weirdo bloke Polanski of the green party has had yet another ridiculous idea

"weirdo” “ridiculous” - these are the playground taunts when you have no political arguments left to make.

And just like playground bullies, they come from a place of fear. Because they can see us organising and they don’t know how to respond.

Isn’t @glaxosmithkline.bsky.social (GSK) a British company?

Apologies for the expression, but I initially fell for that “hook, line and sinker”. 😳

Increase sentence for Gisèle Pelicot rapist, prosecutor tells appeal court Dominique Sie recommends 12-year jail term after Husamettin Dugan’s ‘refusal to take responsibility’ for assault The French state prosecutor has called for the jail term of an unemployed builder to be increased after he contested his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot after she had been drugged unconscious by her husband. Dominique Sie, the lead state prosecutor, told Nîmes appeal court that Husamettin Dogan’s claims of innocence were an example of how rape culture was still widespread in society as part of “archaic” forms of “male domination”.

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

And what’s that saying? ‘ when America coughs the U.K. catches a cold’

WAKE THE F'K UP UK....this Fascist takeover will be easier to pull off in UK than than US...your Press are more compromised/compliant already, the FPTP electoral system hands complete control to 33% vote, & the Right - REFORM, Tommy & (now) Tory are getting close to lock Goose-step.

That is why fascism walked into America with ease and without any restraint.

Heading, or already here?

Look at the way the cops have recently treated those in Trafalgar Square, and more recently, a man simply holding up a copy of The New World magazine!!!

It’s scary. Sending in presidential storm troopers and arresting democratically elected opposition politicians is pure authoritarianism.

And, yes, it’s heading this way.

I’m listening to what’s going on in the USA.

We need to pay attention people.

American is being completely taken over by fascism.

There will be no opposition party.

It’s happening.

Brilliantl!!!

🤣🤣🤣
👏👏👏
