English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books Survey finds 60% of key cities councils are planning to sell assets to meet costs of adult and children’s social care

English councils plan to sell off social clubs and sports centres to balance books.

Social spaces lost forever. Libraries, community centres, school playgrounds, parks closed/sold as council funding cut in real terms to appease the rich.

Social vandalism.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

We cannot continue letting billionaires keep the world's money while the poorest suffer Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of all new wealth. The poorest half of the world has received only 1%.

Since 2000, the richest 1% of the world's population has taken 41% of new wealth, the poorest half has received only 1%.

Rich buy political parties, media, means of production, cause corruption, climate crisis, make mockery of democracy. Poor die early.

Must redistribute or risk social disorder.

What he said Part 2: 💯 🎯

Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun?

Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

'Get rid of the migrants or I'll become a migrant' is quite the argument

While YouTube content creators reportedly contributed £2.2bn to the UK economy in 2024, 55% of Britons nevertheless don't consider being a social media content creator to be a "real job"

Agree 💯, with The Boss.......

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

The Brits have such a way with words. You know. Those things with letter that help you define and say stuff about things.

BREAKING: In an unhinged moment, Trump admits: We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

I think Trump forgot he hired them all. What an embarrassment.

Stephen Miller gave a speech that was nearly 100% plagiarised from Joseph Goebbels.

Please stop telling us that the whole MAGA/Trump movement is not Nazism.

We’ve always known it was.

Man with a sign around his neck which says GURKHA VETERANS HUNGER STRIKE FAST UNTO DEATH (Mr Dhan Bahadur Gurung)

Ex-Gurkha Dhan Gurung on hunger strike in London, trying to get a fair pension after risking his life fighting for this country. The policy on removing Indefinite Leave to Remain which Farage has just announced would result in veteran Gurkhas all being deported. Reform is an appalling party.

SOME BLOKE on TV said it would take 9,618,000 fully grown African elephants standing trunk to tail to encompass the earth at the equator. But according to Wikipedia, there are only about 700,000 elephants left in the wild, so I'm afraid it's just never going to happen. D Williams, Donegal

It wasn’t a blistering speech, it was the incoherent ramblings of a lunatic.

Everything's shit at the moment, so here's 46 seconds of Sweep playing a bell along with a brass band:

Farage’s plan to scrap indefinite leave could collapse the NHS…

Which would be incredibly good news for someone wanting us to move to an ‘insurance based system’

FYI the average American pays £480 per month for private healthcare

Please wake up folks.

The most shameful bit…

Trump’s inner circle knows he’s unfit for office & a national embarrassment

But they’re too compromised, power-hungry, cruel or corrupted to call it out

They’ve let America be dragged, on an incalculable scale, because of their own cowardice & greed.

Camera Obscura, Biggest Bluest Hi-Fi (2001)

They got slicker, and barely put a foot wrong for five consecutive albums. And although my intro to them was LGOOTC, the debut has a unique charm and tugs my heartstrings like no other.
