How is Whitey's birthrate doing these days? Probably much like the rest of the world - in decline.

Don't promise me poached then present me with coddled, you eggy mountebanks

The press still tie themselves up in knots with their vague and passive language over Israel's genocidal atrocities.

He found them did he? In a secret room you say. I imagine he had an enormous set of big rusty keys on an iron hoop, and he goes round trying the keys in all the mystery doors.

I was on holiday near there last year. The Welsh have some of the best castles.

Harlech?

A 7-year-study of 70,000 elderly people from 19 towns in Japan has found that the more public library books there are in a town, the fewer residents need long-term nursing care.

Comic strip by Stephen Collins, it begins with a nighttime city scene. In the next few panels, a mysterious figure, giant in the moonlight, walks towards us through the skyline. His feet echo "boom, boom" in the empty night. A large title panel declares this character's name: THE TW*T COLLECTOR. He stands, giant, unseen in the empty city night, wearing a big pointy hat on his head, and a sort of long smock. He is carrying a large sack in his hand. Slowly, he raises his arm, his arm extends, freakishly long, longer still, through the open window of a tower block. It reaches inside someone's home, and slowly withdraws, now clutching a protesting, terrified man. The man's wife comes to the window to watch his departure. slowly, the giant raises the little man and inspectes him in his hand. After a pause, the man says "b-but I'm not a tw*t!" There is another pause, after which his wife, calmly from off screen, says "you are a tw*t, dear". The Tw*t Collector summarily throws the man in his bag, which we now see is full of screaming people and is labelled TW*TS, then stomps off into the distance, through the moonlit city.

Sometimes, I long for him

BREAKING: At least 90 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since dawn, sources in the besieged enclave’s hospitals tell Al Jazeera.

My response: this wasn't written by Voltaire but by an American neo nazi who, coincidentally I'm sure, is also a convicted paedophile.

The UK is still importing goods from Israel’s settlements in the West Bank.

These settlements are illegal, a war crime and a key feature of Israel's system of apartheid.

Email your MP & urge them to call for a ban on settlement goods now: http://amn.st/63325443wv

Musk has adjusted Grok’s algorithm so it’s now a neo-Nazi.

Pretty cool that almost every progressive commentator, elected official and organization still uses Musk’s X algorithm to communicate with the public! Good job guys.

Just received news that 27 people have been arrested in Parliament Square under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action".
This is real police state behaviour.

Of course, the ones banging on about it are the ones who survived it.

We didn't have heating for a while in the dales during a bitter winter, and you know what, it was miserable.

Oh my. I can see why there might be blood!

Blood from where? 🤔

Yes, I'd imagined that the Labour rank and file might have forced Starmer & co to stay to the left, but far from it. Instead he seems committed to putting Reform into office. Luckily they can't organise a piss up in a brewery.

True. Good points. Mind, after the apparently chaotic "launch", it'll be interesting to see how it progresses.

In the UK, without proportional representation, creating a new political party just seems like an utter waste of time and effort.

As an idea, I was always behind having a quality national broadcaster. The BBC has become such a craven and weak organisation, subservient to the government and Zionists, that I would gladly remove its entitlement to state funding.

Bob Vylan dropped from music festivals in Manchester and France The band made headlines with controversial comments on stage at Glastonbury about the IDF.

Utterly ridiculous. 😡

I have no idea as to why this might be considered a useful measure of anything. Unless you're a naïve and nostalgic fool.
