what's unreasonable about a 4,000 signature petition to ban a group of football fans who chanted in the streets of Amsterdam about how they want to physically and sexually assault people? sounds like a good local MP to me

recent promotional email from Your Party UK which reads: "We're building a mass democratic movement for real change. In the past week we've seen thousands of people come out for Your Party meetings from Ealing to Birmingham."

Google Maps screenshot zoomed out to show most of mainland UK (although the top of Scotland is cropped out, sorry) showing distance from Ealing to Birmingham is 96 miles

"from Ealing to Birmingham" isn't even 100 miles

this post is how I found out Stephen Bush, a columnist at the Financial Times who I have never interacted with, has me added to a blocklist

I don't know how big of a warning sign you need that the death of seeing me post about once a month is bad for your politics!

People out here sucking Satan's cock and justifying it by saying their mouth is a decentralized network

starting to look like purée day 2025 might actually be back on the menu

I understand this in principle, but in practice *not* having a common, standardised form of ID locks people out of critical infrastructure, utilities, services right now. that's surely a problem that needs fixing?

this could actually be true because the company that holds all the mailing list & contact data is different from the company where the donations are going

imagine getting frustrated that your workplace wasn't achieving its objectives quickly enough, so stealing all of their data to email everyone with details of the new domain you'd bought and asking them to start paying £55/year, and pinky promising the money will reach the right place

I have been quite happy boycotting any organisation I know shares a link with Stephen Fry for a decade, so thank you for the list

something without an established hierarchy means they have free choice. which makes the choice to use Stephen Fry, presumably paying him, more worthy of criticism imo

he's the "patron" of Humanists UK. I don't see it as being much different from asking an Anglican why they've shared something narrated by one of their despicable archbishops

Stephen "abuse victims should grow up and get over it" Fry? you share his approach to life?

have you seen the people & policies available in this country? why would you bother voting?

[wise men arriving at the inn] messiah? yeah cool. you came all the way here on a little donkey? what breed? I need to see where this fits on my donkey genealogy charts

I keep ours under the sink, so that if there is a water leak, glue is easily accessible for resealing; and if there is a glue leak, there is easy access to water for cleaning

neither of these things have ever happened

far flung Nottinghamshire is a special place. I've never heard a better example of crab mentality than when I spoke to someone from Retford who was swearing against Worksop because they'd got "the cinema" and Retford hadn't

It does kind of look like BBC staff are all shitting their pants in molten terror, every time some awkward guest says something that departs from the approved narrative, doesn’t it.

cats have decentred productivity from their lives and, in this way, are animals existing outside the capitalist mode

Gregg Wallace, wearing a blue hair net and getting all up in that factory

goes inside the factory to defeat this grotesque villain

We have a Labour MP that battered a constituent on camera and managed to have his conviction downgraded to a suspended sentence and yet ask your MP why they do more for a foreign state than your own voters and you get the full treatment from South Wales Police and the courts.

it's a real shame a dental practice isn't called a Zahnfleischerei

Annette Dittert @annettedittert.bsk... • 10m This is something I genuinely do not understand. Why does Labour not do something about it now? Peter Geoghegan @peterge... • 38m 'Reform is launching a drive to raise funds from wealthy offshore donors in low tax jurisdictions including Monaco, UAE and Switzerland.' Britain's election laws are broken - and, so far, Labour's mooted fixes are completely insufficient

Why does President Cookie Monster not simply criminalise chocolate biscuits

screenshot of record at Companies House showing the record for Craic House Ltd, which operates Craic Health, the organisation proposing this comedy social prescription scheme. the "nature of business" shows as "other information technology service activities + other business support service activities not classified". it also shows the company was previously known as Langulin UK Ltd until Mar 2023

screenshot of a LinkedIn page supposedly belonging to Langulin UK Ltd. the description reads: "Langulin products websites, branding, digital content marketing and sales strategy and implementation, for unique brands and projects."

it's literally just a rebranded marketing company. absolutely no medical or psychology background

of course the service trying to pitch comedy in place of mental health services groups its events into "greater london" and "rest of UK" lmao

Self Esteem's Prioritise Pleasure Bus, Sheffield 2023 First South Yorkshire have introduced a number of buses painted to celebrate Sheffield's brilliant music scene. This bus features the artwork of Self Esteem's brilliant 2021 album Prioritise Pleasure....

an AI-generated image of something that looks mostly like a brown & white cow looking away from the 'camera', doing a gloopy cry out of its one visible eye. I stole this from Adobe Stock. I can't believe people pay for this shit
