And the fierce flame of freedom that burns in our hearts...
The fire is still burning the future's still calling
To follow the dream till the end of my days
Wishing's for fools but dreams are for outlaws
Laughter's for lovers and tears for the brave

The Green Party are level with the Labour Party for the first time in history.

Let's see if the UK media give the Greens greater coverage to reflect their new popularity. Cannot imagine it will be anywhere near their continual talking up of Farage even when he had ZERO MPs.

Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman owe £145m, their estimated wealth is £500m.

They should be arrested and kept in prison until they payup in full.

Just like any criminal who stole this much would be.

Marie McGowan, 89, has died 3 years after a brutal assault during which she was put headfirst into a rubbish bin. Her attacker, Alex Bailey, believed she was "a man dressed as a woman."

This is the world the transphobes are creating "to protect women."

Tees Valley mayor Lord (Ben) Houchen shared his economic wisdom at the Tory conference. The Conservative party, he said, must be the party of “sound money”.

The evil Green Party is going to tax the richest 0.3% of us.

Is really not going very well as an attack on the Green Party.

I'm sure they will come up with a new completely fake smear soon, like the antisemitism one from 2017-19.

Things Farage won’t answer:

1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?

2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gill’s Russian Bribes?

3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?

4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?

Absolutely disgraceful that BBC Scotland is giving airtime to an extremist Zionist commentator who is allowed to characterise anti-genocide protests as “celebrating the murder of Jews” without any pushback from the ‘interviewer’.
