After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.

Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

memory is weird because sometimes you can’t remember what you had for breakfast but you remember being 12, shivering in your puffy coat, next to your friend Karen as Holly’s mom opened her trunk in the parking lot of the Christmas party & Holly looked at you and smirked & you don’t remember why

'A spokesman for the party said: “These inaccurate claims come from a disgruntled former councillor. The party was disgusted by his inappropriate sexual behaviour with women, and he was expelled several months ago."'

Charming people all round, it seems.

Being a strictly tropical fruit the banana is not the natural enemy of British shipping, but like all predators, when given an opportunity its natural instincts will kick in...

Gang: My brother's scooter - literally his only means of independence - batteries died today. He can't get out of his car without it and would be well and truly stuck. If anyone can see their way clear to helping out or sharing this, so he can be out and about this Christmas.

Thank you deeply.

My uncle broke ranks with my Methodist family & told me the Glyderau mountains of Dyffryn Ogwen are home to Gods, & Angels live in the rivers & trees on the valley floor

As a child I listened in awe to his stories of a life with Nature, & still have no reason to not believe him

It's injustice that horseshoe crabs are not related to narwhals
Day 7 #artAdventCalendar my #linocut horseshoe crab (Tachypeus gigas) in grey, blue-bronze and dark brown on 8” x 8” cream-coloured Japanese paper with bark inclusions. 🧪🐡 They get their name from their horseshoe like shape but they are not crabs; they are chelicerates, more closely related to 🧵

“America’s strength was always built from its global alliances. By abandoning these, it exacerbates its weakness.”

Required reading from @snellarthur.bsky.social
🇺🇸 attempts to force 🇺🇦 surrender are currently 0 from 3. Europe is winning, even if it doesn't realise.
Trump's national security strategy exposes weakness. Its attitude to Europe is like the obsessive ex stalking the former partner, wondering who that new guy is.

NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.”

This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

Police search for Nigel Farage whose not been seen since an unhinged rant about Bernard Manning, It Ain't Half Hot Mum, and The Black & White Minstrals Show as concerns grow over his mental state..

The traitor, farage, would hang around outside Jewish Prayers on a Friday, with his minions, to then victimise those Jewish boys as they left.

He did this even as an adult.

He is an extremist far right racist, and a fascist at his soulless core.

There is no excuse if you ever vote for reform.

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, ‘You’re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times.

So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too
