A large stuffed folder of files with the title “Epstein” is seen with what looks, at first glance, like a red page marker sticking out of the bottom. On closer inspection it is the bottom of a Trump red neck tie. French newspapers once again showing the kind of basic journalistic integrity lacking from most US national newspapers - whose collective negligence has helped ensure a man implicated in the world’s most notorious sex trafficking ring gets to remain President. That the orange pedo felon remains in office is a plague on all their houses. Cunts, one and all.

The cartoon that appeared this week on the front page of France’s most influential national newspaper, Le Monde

Brilliant work by the cartoonist, Guffo.

Let me tell you the good things the government has done in 2025 – because it certainly won’t | Polly Toynbee It’s all there: more apprenticeships, more rights for workers and renters – and most of all, a focus on children. What a shame Labour wavers about saying so, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Every man is like the company he keeps.
- Latin proverb

Nigel's choices of company to keep show a very clear (and heavily denied) pattern. Methinks he doth protest too much.

And, of course, if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it IS a duck.

Take a look.

A racist mob menacing refugee children and our town. Read this and see what lies ahead, unless we act now | Anonymous Last weekend, it fell to ordinary people to oppose the far right and others. The national toxicity has reached us: a kind of hate I haven’t seen since the 1970s

Here's that US politician giving an honest character reference to Nigel Farage.
Time for UK journalists and politicians to step up too.

I prosecute and defend the most serious sexual offences in our courts.

The overwhelming majority of offenders are British-born. Overwhelmingly the victim is someone known to them, either a partner or relative.

Anybody purporting to care about protecting women might start there.

Just back from a few days in Llanbedrog. Great walks and fabulous scenery. We stayed in this cottage (the downstairs part).

Another State visit? So angry, so ashamed of our government. Will be in the streets protesting like before if that man sets foot here.

Could someone (a journalist, perhaps?) ask Nigel Farage how he feels about sharing a platform with people who give Nazi salutes?

80 years ago Auschwitz was liberated. More than one million children, women and men were murdered there as part of the Holocaust. A dark lesson of history; humanity owes it to each of the victims to ensure it will never happen again. #HolocaustMemorialDay

A picture of every Vice-President in order, alongside a picture of Kamala Harris. Four of the VP pictures are outlined, one in red, the next in blue, the next in yellow, and the final in green.

"Putting Kamala Harris as VP into perspective. See the red box? Until then, she would have been enslaved. See the blue box? Until then, she couldn’t vote. Yellow box? Until then, she had to attend a segregated school. The green one? Until then she couldn’t have her own bank account."

Adding my voice to those asking why on earth you have Nigel Farage on air AGAIN. For goodness sake stop giving this man oxygen.
