6 months for a paedo for rape! I’ve heard of jaywalkers getting heavier sentences.

Or are paedo crimes not important any more. Just like treason.

I too am astounded.

If Tories win the next election.

Yes.

Given how successful US “liberation” has been around the world .since WW2, they are better off not being “liberated”

There was a wonderful documentary years ago on UK TV about a woman who kept an otter sanctuary. The nippy little buggers had eaten several of her fingers.

Reagan was Trump .v.1.. racist, far-right, and as thick as a brick.

In his own snobbish, racist, xenophobe way, Clarkson is as nasty as Farage.

It would be terrible if people forgot the Trump/Farage/Putin links.

NEW: We need to talk about Russia.

So, yes, that's why we need to talk about Nigel Farage.

Mere quibbles.

Duolingo just offered me benefits for syncing my contacts.

They can fuck right off.

My personal details are personal.

I repeat, they can fuck right off.

Having lived in Hong Kong, I have huge faith in the Chinese. Entrepreneurial, education focused, hard working. They will have a huge effect on the future, if they don’t mess it up.

Ecological crimes like fish kills are never pursued.

The previous lot did nothing but screw up the UK and make money for their mates.
Labour still need to purge the BBC of fascists and ban the tax-dodging far right from owning media.

Will they have food banks?

Tom MacUaidh @tommacuaidh.bsky.social · 2d

A vile pro-brexit Tory.

Tom MacUaidh @tommacuaidh.bsky.social · 3d

A foreign invader who wanted to starve the US military could just bomb the food banks.

Some years ago we Irish threw out a plan for voting machines because we didn’t trust the bastards.
The votes are now counted by humans manually under close observation.

Imagine being that paranoid.

What’s wrong with the ace and the Tower? Tourists would just love it.

Tom MacUaidh @tommacuaidh.bsky.social · 3d

Brilliant one.

Where will they put the second Russian base? (The first one is in the Oval Office)

Tom MacUaidh @tommacuaidh.bsky.social · 3d

All the advertisements these days ( O no, I used that cursed phrase) use the term “Two times”.

When did you fuckers all forget the term “twice”?

For Irish readers:
If schools in disadvantaged areas are “Deis” schools, are fee-paying schools for rich kids “Dosh” schools?

Mark my words, anyday now they’ll ask the Brits to come back.

Yeah, Right.

Deport everyone back to where their ancestors come from.
We’ll all find the Rift Valley in Kenya a bit crowded.
