Oh, yeah. It was great in the 70s.
It must’ve been - it says so on FB
This is the system Farage wants for the UK.
Our health care system is so broken it’s insane.

Stop letting them make you believe a better one is impossible.

Party List systems are terrible.
The only people who want them are the people who see them as a way for their small group to keep tight control of their party, and so the country, within a ‘front’ of democracy.
Won’t they have to keep stamping passports until everywhere in Schengen is fully operational? (Otherwise the non-EES entries/exits won’t have any info)

No - the school classrooms were NOT used to teach “adult migrants”

Your own article explains this TWICE - and yet your headline…?🙄

I covered this yesterday in a thread when it was just RW accounts lying on Twitter

Now the DM are on it, let’s go again!

I think that on public health grounds other countries will soon require American travelers to have personal vaccination books proving they have been vaccinated against the major contagious diseases. Anyone without such proof will be turned back at the border. We cannot afford to import an epidemic.
I see Matt Goodwin is adopting a US Marine/ICE cosplay haircut.
Can we hope that he sees his future on Fox News rather than the Beeb?

JD Vance wants his wife to convert from weird Hinduism, to the much more sensible religion of drinking the blood and eating the flesh of a 2000 year old dead Jewish guy every Sunday.

Gotta love Private Eye.
Always cuts through the crap.
I think it’s one of the ways to use Limited Liability to ’steal’ €$£
1. Borrow $$$ to buy Co. X for 2x its value
2. Load that debt on that (Ltd) company
3. Use your control to strip cash from the operations (cut development, cut this, that) and pay it to yourself
4. Let the Co. die (with the debt)

All these victims of grooming "don't count" to Nigel Farage, Adam Brooks and the rest of these grifters and chancers.

No wonder they are so angry, with their lived experience being downplayed like this.

What is happening to this country?😥🤷🏻‍♂️

With the media in this state, things can only get worse
We never received any notification of the votes this year.
Could be a catastrophic error if this is widespread.
Partly to blame are all the politicians and media who refer to people ‘arriving illegally’ when under our treaty obligations, it is explicit that people claiming asylum can arrive any way they can. Tories saying “if you arrive here illegally you can’t claim asylum” for example (Sunak).

Updated thread on The Lost King film:
I’m digging over old ground but I have to challenge Steve Coogan's line. He claims it’s all true (as has Philippa Langley): Langley will be celebrated for her achievement, Richard Taylor & his personal gripes will be forgotten
So what’s the real story? 1/15
Lucky you still had yellow ink left or you wouldn't have been able to print that.
You aren’t making any sense now.
Bye 👋 Cauldron of Reform-pushing piss.
1. “tends to” is not = to “entire sample” watching it
2. As mentioned previously, it’s where I see their ads. It’s a hypothesis. If you have access to their ad placement schedule, feel free to share it - maybe I’m mistaken.
3. Poor results- there was a listing of polling accuracy shared on here.
The point is the sample are self-selected from a group that tends to watch daytime tv programmes on antiques and WWII, so they are culturally skewed.
Weighting ‘representative’ age or income sub-samples from this skewed base sample doesn’t correct that.
And explains their poor results vs outcomes.

If you're a National Trust member, it's that time of year again: Midnight tonight is the deadline. It's a shame people have to keep doing this to keep a toehold on historical truth in this country, but here we are. Voting link: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/a...

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...
Our politics is increasingly normalised to racism – because politicians are addicted to X
The platform has quietly dragged British politics into a dark place

And I remember the ads for individual lifts instead of stair lifts.
Have to have serious £ to afford them.
But you’re not responding to my points, Cauldron?
