Hannah Spencer MP

What business is it of anyone else's if people "intergrate" or not? What business is it what team people support, what language they speak, what faith they practice or what they eat? If they aren't hurting anyone what has it got to do with the rest of us?

Mind your own busniess!

Politicians really do bank on that Falkland's war bounce don't they? Sickening.

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

First piece back at @bylinetimes.bsky.social

This government is more interested in showing racists how spiteful it can be, than either looking after people who need our help or coming up with workable policy.

You can't regulate industries! We must allow them to destroy everything and rob us blind. The 1970s!

He might want to compare the demographics of postal voters and his voters.

@elliechowns.bsky.social : "In 2020 Starmer said he did not think the UK should enter into military action without a legal justification, without a clear goal & without parliamentary approval. None of those conditions are in place now. Indeed, it is an illegal war led by a war criminal"

But what about the crash in the seventies!? Ignore the half a dozen worse carshes since! The 1970s!
