17.10.2025 09:03 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I find it remarkable that now, nearly 10 years post Brexit ref. and 5 since UK left the SM, we still have people saying "But we used to be able to do that when we were members, so we should still be able to".
Brexit changed things.
Joining is not possible without insight.
I have an image of Starmer in a Downing St room shortly after that Tommy Robinson march, and another big influence inside the govt shouting at him "WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU EVEN DOING, MAN??" Then shouting a list of examples of Starmer being right-wing and pissing everyone off. "GET A GRIP *NOW*!"

The Government could pass emergency legislation declaring PPE Medpro a terrorist organisation.
That would allow the Government to use any and all powers to stop their leaders Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman and recover all the money.
Given the Trumpist assault on the patriotism of all who plan to attend No Kings rallies, I urge every Democratic elected official to attend one. They shouldn’t speak—if there are speakers, better to br less partisan civic leaders and citizens—but they should stand in solidarity with the rest of us.

Love’s Sweet Surrender by Arlene Hale. A Candlelight Romance. “Compliments of Belair.” Cover illustration is a white man and white woman embracing on the beach.
In 1983 Philip Morris bought three Candlelight Romances from Dell to promote Belair cigarettes. These “Compliments of Belair” editions were promotional items for customers.

Advertisement for Belair cigarettes. A white man embraces a white woman from behind, offering her a cigarette. “Lighten up! With low tar Belair.”
www.nytimes.com/1983/02/11/b...
This NYT article claims that the brand name Belair was inserted in the text when cigarettes are mentioned, but I’ve skimmed the book and this is not true but there is an ad in the back.
Disgraceful misrepresentation of the facts by Mike Johnson here.

On the 8th of August 1963, The Great Train Robbery took place, they stole £2.63m.
That's far less even with inflation than the £145m Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman owe.
No motherfucking kings.

Really?
Imagine if we invested those billions on healthcare and housing for Americans, instead of bailing out Trump's pals abroad.
He's not opening the government because he doesn't want those secret files revealed. It's not complicated.
