Why would the EU feel the need to pander to citizens of a country who voted to quit?

Urgh. What a repulsive bunch of racist shit-stirrers. And, of course, Farage never far from the stink.

Wherever we looked for the prominent flaggers and leaders of this movement, we found people smugglers and sex doll salesmen, people with dubious criminal pasts and people willing to put in a good word for Adolf Hitler. Farage told us the flag-raisers were just ordinary folk sticking it to the system. A few months worth of local journalism later, that now looks like a shaky claim.

The entire blame will not be on Starmer. Voters need to use their votes wisely, making informed choices rather than mindlessly following populist bull 🐂 💩.

A message from Virginia’s family:

“Today, an ordinary American girl from an ordinary American family brought down a British prince with her truth and extraordinary courage."

Virginia deserved better, and while she was still alive.

Release the Epstein Files.

More, more, and more for Trump and the band of billionaire buddies and less and less for the rest of us. Gilded-age attitudes, corruption and lawlessness are on display as the protective MAGA bubble has yet to pop.

The luxury gap: Trump builds his palace as Americans face going hungry

Schmoozing the super-rich to fund a $300m ballroom while cutting food aid for those on low incomes threw the president’s architectural folly into sharp relief

Let’s stop living in fear and get on with our lives. Risk management has to be proportionate.

What about buses then? A totally disproportionate response.

Over 500,000 stop and searches of the person annually in England and Wales. Black people are around 6x more likely to be stopped than whites. Seems younger folks are more likely to be stopped.

elimuann.bsky.social @elimuann.bsky.social · 14h

Same has happened here for decades under “stop & search”.

Stop & search powers already exist in the UK and are regularly used. The stats here also show the bias created by racial profiling.

Funny* isn't that the Media complain about the 15% payrise for Train Drivers over 3 years, or the 22% payrise for Doctors over 3 years.

But they ignore the 76% payrise for CEO's over the last 5 years, or the 38% payrise for Bankers in 1 year.

*Disgusting

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor would not have been stripped of "Prince" if the Epstein Files were fiction written by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, John Brennen, and various unnamed people in the Biden administration, as guilty Donald stupidly--and desperately--claims.

Sad that the current political climate appears to have allowed bigotry to resurface unchecked. Sadly, a certain sector of the population feel so inadequate that they have to find people they perceive as inferior to themselves and hurl verbal (& sometimes physical) abuse at them. 😢

This racist stalker on X explains why he is confident in his sense of impunity for racist abuse on the platform. (He may be proved right about that, but let's see)

Interesting how the people screaming that the country is going to rack and ruin because it's overrun by Muslims are the same ones clamouring to move to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Qatar.

Nowt to do with age - just the desire to be very clear about what it is - spreading lies to support your political agenda. Time liars were allowed to be called out in Parliament too when they blatantly are.

In the past, British people - not governments - said "enough".
No government told American troops there would be no segregation in our pubs, or told the fascists in London in the 1930s to fuck off.
Musk knows he only need control the people, not the government.
That's why he bought Twitter.

The Dutch proportional voting system isn’t perfect, but it works. It ensures representation across the political spectrum, keeps the far right in check, and gives voters real influence. Isn’t it time Britain caught up? Stephen McNair reports
