Anyone else getting requests allegedly from bluesky asking for age verification?

Apparently I have to use either credit card or photo ID.

Credit card? Really?

I think it is a scam

And I am almost 85....

OMG that is gross

The RAF is no longer flying surveillance flights over Gaza for Israel.

They are now letting the US do it from their RAF airbase in Cyprus.

Which is no different at all.

Only a first step but an important one.

My take is always that the first thing to do is to spend massively on normal education. Decent buildings, respect and proper pay for teachers, and respect for all pupils.
Then private education would be perecived as grossly abnormal and the class system would gradually disappear.

What brain was that?

It was indeed that

What a lovely garden!

Shouldn't we complain to BBC for inaccurate reporting?

BBC among media misreportimg/exaggerating scale of asylum protests

Median protest is a few dozen, below 100.

"Usually Several hundred at a time" is false.
- should say *occasionally*
< 1/10 protests have 200 people

"Sometimes thousands"
I dont think a single 2025 protest had > 2000 people yet

Government.
Sorry, eyesight specially bad today

£22bn of water bill hikes will go to private investors - not cleaning up rivers Investors will see their returns from water bills double over the next five years

Imagine borrowing someone’s credit card, spending it on yourself.. then charging them for the privilege.

That’s the scam of privatised water.

Households foot the bill for upgrades, but £22bn will go to investors and creditors.

Repost widely please everyone.
This is so well and simply expressed

I regret to inform you that Starmer’s been tweeting dehumanising videos of migrants again.

These videos have been shown to increase support for Reform, by increasing salience of migration.

He has to go.

Well said!

"But they came here illegally"

1. No, they didn't. Seeking asylum is a human right protected under Article 14 of UDHR.

2. Even if they did, who even gives a fuck?! We would ALL break the law in a desperate situation.

Less chat of legality more chat of justice & morality pls

They're not the same.

These are my views, very much from outside but based on what I read and deduce.

Obviously I could be wrong.

I really hope I am

How many NHS reorganisations are necessary?
Ever since Thatcher with her GP "fundholding" there has been constant tinkering, increasing numbers of (expensive) managers and decreased per capita funding.
It is criminal.
High time people woke up.

General practice is in crisis because, since 2010, tories and now "labour" want to demolish it.
My take, for what it is worth, is that the destruction of the NHS and its replacement with a USA model will never be complete while NHS backbone (GPs) is in place and successful.

Pro-Palestine protester threatened with arrest takes legal action against Kent police Laura Murton seeks damages and apology after police said her demonstration expressed support for banned Palestine Action

" Mentioning freedom of Gaza, Israel, genocide, all of that all come under proscribed groups, which are terror groups dictated by the government" says a policeman.

Mind-blowing ignorance but I do rather like the idea of Israel as a proscribed terror group.

Gicernment is of course complicit in this rip-off

Please repost this and maybe send the information to your MP.

Good thread.
I don't know how you have the time and patience to produce these well-researched items.
Thank you once again!

Isn't that what is implied in the thread?
It is "the markets" that call the tune, upholding glibal capitalism and maintaining and increasing divisions between haves and have-nots.

Do not be fooled that the parties named above are enacting electoral pragmatism; it is nothing more than total capitulation to neoliberalism, disaster capitalism, and the whims of oligarchs who have infiltrated and funded those same parties, along with an MSM that spews out their propaganda.

Haha!

No idea how that got there!

OK Keir Starmer, I do not "recognise" your mob of right-wing city and Trump sycophants as a labour government.

If as PM you don't know how to recognise facts and figures you should step aside in favour of someone who does.
