How are you feeling today?

Came through to Venice on Thursday and did this. Again it might have been a trial run as we still had to get our passports stamped. Fairly painless really.Will be interesting to see how long it takes on Monday when we return.

Stewart Lee: The thugs have taken my flag. So I’ve taken theirs What do you do with a lot of cheap banners hanging from motorway bridges once you’ve torn them down?

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick”

Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism.

Take a look at Farage's grovelling "Happy Birthday Mr. President" tweet. He's even holding a bottle of Trump wine.

Farage is no proud patriot. He's a creepy fascist sycophant who parrots Russian lies and thinks Andrew Tate is an important voice for men.

Imagine being mad you didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize while you’re busy stirring up Civil War in your own country.

It is embarassing not to see the BBC pulling up Reform leaders claiming that Nathan Gill was just some fan who got photos taken with Farage - he was an MEP for them & their leader in Wales while taking cash from Russia to act against the UK! Literally the very basics of your job to point this out

"You should never overestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."

– George Monbiot

This story is now big news all over the world... except in the UK.

Detente.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Russian MoD video with a partially deflated decoy aircraft in the background. Like a dog receiving a bollocking its tail is tucked away out of sight and its nose is down.

"You've let me down, you've let the squadron down... and worst of of all you've let yourself down."

Actually just had a wee moist eye moment when I heard. My first real crush and genuine decent human being. Certainly in comparison to what what we've got left.

Problem is most decent people just laugh & shrug, thinking nobody is stupid enough to believe that, but they sadly are. This indulgent complacency needs to be firmly replaced with a grim determination to instantly quell what we know to be cruel & stupid rather than treating it as merely ridiculous.

If you want to know about the state of British media, these 'formidable obstacles' include assault of a police officer, ABH, football hooliganism, entering the US on a false passport, mortgage fraud, stalking, endangering a grooming trial, defaming a 15 year old refugee and a lifetime of racism.

Respect my collie authority.

Soft kitty,
filthy kitty,
little ball of grime,
Smelly kitty,
dirty kitty,
purr purr, slime.

Nick Robinson gleefully reads out stuff from his right-wing mates in the right-wing British press and uses that to set the agenda on #r4today but apparently it is Gary Lineker who the BBC thought was biased.

Presumably he wears a hat so he can take his teeth home in it, when someone punches him in the face. Probably his mother.

CBS has now decided to cancel Late Night with Stephen Colbert simply because he called out their parent company Paramount for giving the orange felon a $16M bribe. Once again they prove to be nothing more than a propaganda arm for MAGA fascism.

I might be fluffy but I'm dead hard I am.

Brian Cox, "I think Nigel Farage is an idiot"

"I think he's a venal idiot who talks a lot of crap"

For God sakes woman! Just who the hell is Bennie from Crossroads anyway?

Oh my goodness, and then what happened?
