This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Yeah, because everyone wants the person landing their plane to be pissed off, stressed out and anxious…

Who the hell is this identikit nazi Barbie?!?! Do the GOP have a vacuum former hidden somewhere 😳

"Say what you like about nurses, garbage collectors, or mechanics, it’s obvious that were they to vanish in a puff of smoke, the results would be immediate & catastrophic. A world without teachers or dock-workers would soon be in trouble, and even one without science fiction writers or ska musicians would clearly be a lesser place. It’s not entirely clear how humanity would suffer were all private equity CEOs, lobbyists, PR researchers, actuaries, telemarketers, bailiffs or legal consultants to similarly vanish - many suspect it might markedly improve." - David Graeber

Yes

So you can contribute to the UK all your life, pay all your taxes and stamps, but can’t receive any of the benefits, sounds fair…

And I had the great pleasure of his (dark) humour at a course he did at Photofusion.
He told the story of putting together the shot of Dover and Calais (single shot, on film, no Photoshop, a lot of burning in!)
For the opening of the Channel Tunnel. Just a staggering level of technical expertise…

Oh no!
I’m so sorry.

He was a fabulous photographer, I well remember so many amazing shots from the indie in its heyday, they were a great inspiration.

Thank you for bringing joy on a Sunday😁

President Macron:
“We were very naive to leave our public space to social media networks controlled by US or Chinese companies that don’t share our interests and not interested in survival of our democracies.”

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

The Age of Enshittification In a new book, the technology critic Cory Doctorow expands on a coinage that has become bleakly relevant, in Silicon Valley and beyond.

“Enshittification” was a term coined by Cory Doctorow, in 2022, to describe how the technologies that dominated our daily lives seemed to be all getting worse at the same time. Now, in a new book, he expands on the word that has become bleakly relevant.

May I politely suggest you consider a historically successful French intervention…

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

As Reform's Nathan Gill admits taking bribes from Russian 'secret service pawn' Oleg Voloshyn, here’s a nice photo of Nigel Farage with Voloshyn’s wife.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Dear USA

Deploying troops against civilians will not go well.

The next time anyone from DOJ so references their agency they need to be immediately corrected. It's now DOR, the U.S. Department of Revenge, which pairs nicely with the new Department of War.

The trash who now govern us have outflanked Orwell entirely. They show you the lies and just shrug.

these people are giant fucking dorks and they should be mocked relentlessly for being giant fucking dorks

Book THEY KNEW published 2022

Go buy THEY KNEW. It holds up even in the stupidest situations. In fact, the stupider the situation, the better it holds up!

It’s truly astonishing, bewildering and terrifying. Yet it gets sane washed by US media, and tomorrow the show just moves on, with no consequences. Sickening…

Don’t fret we’ll put the kettle on,
Biscuit? 😱

Blimey!
I don’t know how you guys in the USA are coping with this!!

Would you like a nice cup of tea? 🫖

Farage vows to scrap indefinite leave to remain, placing thousands at risk of deportation Reform UK plans to force non-citizens to apply for visas with high salary thresholds and no access to NHS services

Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain.

They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city.

Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.

The ITV exposé on COVID now turns its sights on testing. I was stunned in 2020 when Sir Paul Nurse - Director of the Francis Crick Institute - told me he’d written to the government to offer the services of the Crick (the biggest biomeolecular lab in the country) - and never got a reply…

Tuesday is Rapture Day again and you know what that means.

Rapture Balloons!

Prepare a length of stout cord with a slip knot on one end and keep it at the ready. When you see a Christian starting to lift off, lasso an ankle and tie off the other end to something heavy.

Rapture balloon.

Truth Social post in which Trump addresses Pam Bondi and says she needs to immediately prosecute his political enemies

Imagine if Richard Nixon had just tweeted out the Watergate scandal rather than putting it on secret tapes.

That’s what this is.
