Fairness crusader and curmudgeon with a big heart. Golf, running, hills, nature, politics, science, centrist, humanist. Not so keen on conspiracy nutters, anti-vaxxers and despise post 2010 Tories. Hate Brexit and Reform. USA, what have you done?!

I've just done a Gemini prompt on my phone and it was pretty accurate and unbiased.

He stokes, then reflects them. There needs to be a collective acknowledgement that the UK has gone backwards and is in very serious trouble.

But they enable him, they get into bed with him, they campaign for him and then wonder why it all goes wrong. They choose to do a deal with Trump, for what? Money, Fame, Power? He's been known for decades, a chip off his father's terrible block.

He's gone again? I missed than. When?

I'll bet they will be flown upside down too.

Yeah, but he's back now, right. Reform are right that this country has gone to the dogs, but not for the reasons they think.

Let's try and find out. I live in Notts and have replaced tyres on more than one occasion from poor surfaces.

And how many potholes could this have filled. Notts CC were effectively bankrupt last year.

Criticism as Reform-led council set to spend ยฃ75,000 on new flags The council says union jack flags will be flown in 82 locations in a bid to foster

@mrjamesob.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Great use of loot, this one. ยฃ500 per flag, utterly pointless.

24.10.2025 14:54 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 3

150 flags, ยฃ75,000. ยฃ500 a pop. Fuck sake.

I live in Nottinghamshire and was unaware of this incredible waste of money. Further pissed off because the clandestine flag erectors were being paid by some dodgy far right supporting groups.

I wholeheartedly disagree - it would simple grow the echo chamber. We need a 'call Farage (he's not my friend)' on J O'Brien. Ferarri is a toe tickler, we need Farage, the Tories and the likes to be interviewed by people vested in asking proper questions and thoroughly exposing them.

To add a little colour to the controversy around Katie Lam's comments, courtesy of Wiki, Katie's grandparents were either suffering at the hands of the Nazis or were killed by them. The survivors fled to the UK to avoid persecution and murder.

I didnt think there could be something so terrible as to be a pound shop Truss.

Nice to be surprised once in a while.

Mine would show lots of swearing about how bad my golf is. I can recreate any of them here if anyone cares.

Ah, well done, despite the ticker. You might have to move to Dunbartonshire for the rest.

I think my pal is more concerned about the politics and soap opera surrounding the owner and the worry that nstability will create havoc. Lets hope he does a good job.

And well done on completing the Wainwrights. I wish I lived a little closer to make a better dent in them.

As someone living 20 miles away from the ground and whose best mate is a long standing Forest fan I will report his reaction verbatim seeing what has happened to his club in the last few months - For Fuck's Sake.

[Ends report]

It seems Tory and Ref currently hate each other but we saw with Johnson and Farage and Brexit that they are prepared to do a deal with the devil to get the outcome they want and by nature they dont give a shit about anyone but the rich and powerful and are more ruthless. Living on hope isnt enough

I despise the tories and ref. and wanted nothing more than for KS to win and do well, but the polls are suggesting he isnt tanking, they are stating he has already tanked. I know we are still a long way off the next GE but as it stands we will have a landslide Farage govt. Let's hope ref blow up

Im no arty-type but sometimes a picture just makes you want to go and visit/live in the subject matter and if that is the measure of good art then this is good art.

He is unpopular because the rags keep telling us he is. He is unpopular because he's tanking at the polls and also because he has been very disappointing.

But, does any right thinking person think Farage will be better for our country and for its people. Or Badenoch? Davey is the only alternative

I fear you are being a little generous with 'melt'.

This whole affair has been devasting for exactly three people. JE (dead), GM (prison) and VG (dead - tragic). PA will live out his life in abject luxury and it seems countless others will escape justice.

Good for you.

Would he be able to sue me if I called him a twat, because he is, and I wish he would fuck right off back to oblivion, where he belongs.

I suspect however, that he and the likes of Gullis will join Reform soon and get back in the game. I'm looking forward to 'A Week In Reform'.

Same. And weird that he's complaining about faux-outrage etc as though he has skin the same thickness of a crocodile.

I asked genuine questions to him when I was on FB and Twitter. He blocked me straight away. The questions weren't controversial or insulting but he clearly just didn't like them.

OK, got it now, and appreciate you deciphering my very poorly proof-read previous response.

Yes, I always thought this was an easy distraction. I couldnt care less if they were a sole trader or PLC. The terrible character of Farage and his team, plus the likelihood of them winning the next election as it stands, is of far greater importance.
