Grumpy privileged old white man who went to Eton๐๐คก. The Torygraph used to employ real journalists. The outfit heโs moaning about looks like a kilt to me - would he get in a froth if ScotRail staff wore kilts? I use Eurostar regularly; staff and service are great and the informs look good.

Heโs being advised by James Orr, a deeply misogynistic religious zealot who is helping him sanitise the messages so they can get funding from US religious groups and super PACs. Banning abortion rights, fertility treatments and opposing vaccines are on the Reform agenda.

This is good news. Letโs hope they can add more capacity. I use the service 3-4 times a year but have to trek from Somerset to London to use it. Birmingham would be much simpler.

The irony of a once well written newspaper turned propaganda rag advising on great writing; I doubt they use sub-editors for most of their copy these days.

The only people he quotes or refers to are rich, old and, with one exception, male. Each one of them moaning they canโt use the abusive, racist and uncivilised language of the 1970s. As for Connolly, she broke the law by inciting violence, nothing to do with free speech; illegal since the 1980s.

Farage is soon to get an EU pension of circa ยฃ75,000 a year for doing nothing, he rarely turned up for work in Brussels. The irony of this is the UK taxpayer is funding it under the Brexit deal. Hard working Brits paying a man who made them poorer.

He had no problem taking Putinโs money even after their invasion of Ukraine and in the full knowledge that it was betraying his country, democracy, free speech and the freedoms millions died to protect. Heโs a traitor who loves taking and spending taxpayerโs money.

Most of the old fields are being sweated by small companies youโve never heard of. The majors have been leaving the UKCS for twenty years. Costs are too high compared with other places and there are no big fields left to drill anyway. Sheโs talking nonsense. It wouldnโt affect prices in any event.

Take a look at James Orr too if you have time. A nasty nationalist and misogynist dressing up some very dangerous policies in pseudo academic language to impress the masses.

Four journalists among 15 killed in Israeli strike on hospital in Gaza, say health officials
Deaths take to at least 192 the number of Palestinian journalists killed in the conflict since 7 October 2023
It's easy to forget how utterly inhuman this is. How unspeakable. How absolutely appalling.
Israeli forces deliberately fired missiles into a hospital.
A *fucking hospital*.
And - according to WHO - they've done it to at least 734 other healthcare facilities.

A word on immigration. Don't prejudge this, just listen to the data, and then consider what the solution is.
The UK has a falling birth rate. This means that - unless things change - each generation will be 25% smaller than the one before.

Walz: "It boggles my damn mind that in the midst of a military takeover of our cities, the flaunting of the rule of law, that the press finds the need to talk about, 'Oh, there's a division in the Dem Party.' There's a division in my damn house & we're still married and things are good. That's life"
