A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Zia Yusuf ~ @ZiaYusufUK • Follow Important information: The authorities slashed Nigel's security by 75% two weeks ago. Thankfully donors stepped in to ensure he is protected. The Prime Minister has embarked on a sick campaign of incitement of violence against the man he knows he cannot beat at the ballot box. X

A question on this - who are these mysterious and terribly kind “donors”?

So Baroness Mone didn’t just connect PPE Medpro to the government’s VIP lane. She took an active role lobbying for the company:

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

'Turquoise Tories': Opposition criticise Reform UK administration at West Northants Council as party reveal five-year plan Opposition leaders on West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) have criticised the Reform UK administration for becoming “turquoise Tories”, as they unveiled their delivery plan for the next five years.

WHAT. THE. FUCK ⁉️

Reform UK MP jailed for 'repeatedly kicking his ex girlfriend' He had not publicly disclosed the conviction before he was elected as an MP and downplayed the attack as a “teenage indiscretion”.

Reform MP James McMurdock (won his seat by 98 votes) didn't disclose his conviction for assaulting his partner before the GE

He went on to describe it as a "teenage indiscretion"

The Times now reveals he "kicked his girlfriend" repeatedly

Thoughts?

On Monday we learnt that 1 in 3 children are living in poverty…

And that deprivation has hit a record high

Given their new found compassion for struggling Brits

Where’s Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Andrew Lloyd Webber to fight their corner?

…anywhere?

Excited for this.

If the farmers were Just Stop Oil the Media would be screaming for them to be arrested. But because they are protesting for the billionaires and not against them, they have their full support.

Screenbrag of Top Gear magazine article https://www.topgear.com/car-news/jeremy-clarkson/jeremy-clarkson-quad%E2%80%99s-own-country "I have bought a farm. There are many sensible reasons for this. Land is a better investment than any bank can offer. The government doesn't get any of my money when I die. And the price of the food that I grow can only go up. But there is another, much more important reason: I can now have a quad bike."

Screengrab of Daily Mail article, 19 Nov 2024: "Explaining his purchase of his farm he said: 'Let's start from the beginning I wanted to shoot, which comes with the benefit of not paying inheritance tax, now I do. 'People like me will simply put it in a trust, and so long as I live for seven years that's fine. As my daughter says, you might be in a deep freeze at the end of it, but you will live for seven years. 'It is incredibly time consuming to have to do that, why should all these people have to do that, why should they?' Clarkson said the 'only reason' Rachel Reeves bought in the inheritance tax on farmers was to 'stop wealthy people'. When Ms Derbyshire argued that Ms Reeves had bought in the measure to 'raise money for public services', Clarkson turned to the protesters and said: 'Are you listening to this?' 'When asked if he'd had a GP appointment recently, he said: 'Yes, I just recently had a heart attack.' Ms Derbyshire then asked 'where should they get their money from if not farmers?' to which Clarkson replied: 'Did you hear that everyone? BBC thinks you should be paying for everything.'"

I'm not sure Jeremy Clarkson is the most sympathetic champion for poor farmers, many of whose concerns about the loss of #Brexit subsidies and poor trade deals are legitimate.

Here is what he told Top Gear magazine when he bought his farm 👇🏽 and what he claims today 👇🏽. 🧐~AA

This Vote Leave farmer believed EU subsidies hindered entrepreneurial flare and voted accordingly. I presume tax breaks at the nation's expense are equally unwelcome amongst Brexiter farmers?

Why many free speech absolutism is nearly always intellectually dishonest and one-sided, in one minute.

I note, for example, that many of those most angry about Alison Pearson’s experience were exactly those calling for police action against things they didn’t like being said on the Gaza protests.

Actual good news.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

It’s happening

Apparently the Daily Heil thinks that Gen Z should all have grown up in an Enid Blyton novel, gone to boarding school, reported working class oiks to policemen on bicycles and be eating nothing but ham and turkey sandwiches, heaps of tomatoes, fresh lettuce and lashings of ginger beer.

Bluesky seems to be a much nicer place to be. I’ve therefore decided to post the odd ‘classic from the CWS archive’ from time to time. As kind of sorbets between the main courses of hideousness.
This one’s from December 2017 x

Look who’s here! 👏

This unspeakable, insufferable cunt. Musk won't ever be able to demonstrate a microgram of the bravery and dignity Zelenskyy has demonstrated.
