They are under the illusion they won a landslide, the reality is they only had 35% of the vote. They are losing that quickly.

I lost my brother to cancer in May, he was only 50.

I have spent this week with another brother who moved away years ago.

Starmer, Farage, Trump, nothing matters more than family. Make the most of them whilst you can.

Wandering around a random garden centre in middle England listening to all the old racists going on about how it's their country. The rest of us are doomed because of these old bastards. Same dumb bastards that gave us Brexshit.

“You’re banned, you can’t chant that, you’re nicked for holding a sign, you’re kids are poorer, you’re colder, you have to have an ID card and the racists have legitimate concerns in our island of strangers… now vote for us or Farage wins.”
