Ack Shully

Ben Houchen argued with me by email to tell me that the Nazis weren't right wing.

He's a fucking charlatan. Northumbria University should disown his "education" there.

Houchen is a piece of work. Before his election, I had an email exchange with him about privatisation where he claimed the Nazis really were left wing socialists.

He also failed to read the sentence correctly when I said it was all because he buddied up with his coke fuelled mate Michael Gove.

That's sad, and a reminder to us all. Sorry to hear about your friend, Sarah. :(

It's the pout that makes it.

The Muppet Christmas Carol, obvs. :)

I'll miss this iconic place - always made a habit of visiting whenever I was in Newcastle. It's such a shame.

Rather enjoying some great political and history content from @jimmythegiant.bsky.social on YouTube right now, stellar work.

The best content coming out of Luton!

(Yesss! Did it without mentioning Thatcher once! Ahhh sh**...)

"Oh!" she proclaimed, "it looks like it fell out somewhere near Birmingham." - the response of a woman whose luggage air tag took a while to ID the location after landing in Southampton, UK.

A second later it showed the luggage was actually waiting at the bottom of the plane steps. Pretty good!

If anyone wants to feel concerned about the plight of democracy in the UK, look no further than the latest right-wing petition.

Signed by the wealthy who want to avoid tax and the stupid who either want to allow the wealthy to avoid tax or don't know that's what they're petitioning for. Brexit MK2?

Such a nasty little gremlin. On holiday? With what money? Isn't he poor from having to spend all his money on "organising demos" in London? Oh no, because the grift is real, and racists just can't help but give him money.

Yup, feel you there. No idea why I'm awake at this time in the morning either.

Reporting for duty ma'am!

As far as I'm concerned, it only makes sense for trans men to celebrate this day 'cos they at least have suffered and worked for it.

For everyone else it's kinda just... The default?

Happy international men's day to those who ask when it is roughly every women's day.

I don't get why it would be celebrated though. I'm a man, and being a man has never been difficult compared to other genders.

One of the things I find disconcerting is the amount of people who go out of their way to defend the interests of folks like landowners. As if the land ceases to exist if they sell it!?
