#carolemalone Talking about Farage's overt racism and antisemitism when at Dulwich.

She's not wrong when she says there are things each of us have said in the past that we wouldn't say today.

That being said, in her case, the past is as far back as yesterday.

How is YouTube allowed to continue to run known AI generated scams using the likeness of the PM and Martin Lewis?

We seems to be charging headlong toward more and more automation.

I am watching the UK budget via LBC on youtube, you'd think the platform would realize the importance of the event and not schedule ads throughout.

I can announce tod.. $$$$$$ ..and I commend this statement to the house.

#RachelReeves Oooh that was a zinger Rachel, admitting in parliament that you are circumventing the devolved government of Scotland. Backroom deals with Sarwar are not the flex you think it is.

Nearly as bad a look as attacking a person unable to respond.

Hope is an endless torture for those who can't escape their fate.
-- Kafka

For the reform voter that hope is Farage and that fate is of their own making.

I'm sorry the job your dad did can no longer earn a decent wage, but that's not the fault of immigrants.

This shouldn't be a surprise.

Populists thrive on convincing people there are simple solutions to their imagined problems.

What's simpler than a magical sky daddy that will fix EVERYTHING.

Democracy is not doomed by grifters but by simpletons that believe them.

It's infuriating to see tech leaders trying to get in front of the coming AI crash as if they aren't entirely culpable for, and personally profiting from, the bubble.

#TRUMP For a man who claims any decision against him is rigged, he sure is hoping his base don't believe he's rigging the Epstein evidence.

Glad to see the 'Stolen Valor' admiral has been arrested.

I found another one...

If Wes Streeting is Labour's answer to the moral and personality vacuum that is Starmer, let me be the first to welcome or new, nicotine stained, overlord to Downing Street.

Hey, if teachers are so lazy and they get soooo much time off, maybe we should pay them like babysitters?

I am fairly confident that every teacher would jump at that opportunity.

About as confident that most parents would be horrified about how much that would actually cost.

At what point do mainstream politicians admit that it is their policies that have hollowed out the education system, creating a vacuum in literacy and critical thinking skills, that have allowed the lies 'vomited' spewed by the likes of Farage to cut through.

#BBCQT We need to stop the right wing from conflating the 'wealthy' and the 'super rich'.

People earning high salaries are not the problem.

Tax income, capital gains, dividends etc, at the same rate and classify loans secured against unrealized gains as income.

Who is Morgan McSweeney?

Someone who I could not have a lower opinion of, even if he was on Epstein's list.
November 13, 2025 at 10:30 PM
Comical to hear Rory Stewart claiming that 16 - 17 years old know nothing about politics.

Are we to understand that he thinks the reform voting block are astute critical thinkers?

If Trump survives the Epstein files, suing the BBC may prove to be his undoing.

If the UK government holds it's nerve, his lawyers will force him to drop the lawsuit or face perjuring himself.

Welcome to the UK chum(p).

Morgan McSweeney moving on from Corbyn to Starmer
November 12, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Rumours of Starmer being replaced before the next election are giving people false hope.

It's false hope because the party apparatus are less 'Andy Burnham' more 'Wes Streeting'.

Personally I think that would be like torpedoing the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.

And the band played on.

I see Rachel Reeves has made it to Chapter 13 of Begg Fischer and Dornbusch.

Probably had ChatGPT summarize it...

Oy, Reeves....

+ Forget about wealth taxes, inheritance tax, etc.

+Income tax should have a top rate of 50%, base rate of 25%.

+ Any loan secured against unrealized gains (stock, property, etc) should be classified as income.

+ Crimal reform to make fines scale with wealth.

+ Exit tax.
