Charles and William nab tens of millions in Duchy profits each year, despite the Duchies being public property. A complete scam. We should have that cash instead. #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy #DitchTheDuchies

July marks the first consecutive twelve month period where wind generated more electricity than gas in the UK...in every single month. In the last decade, wind generation in the UK has more than doubled, pushing first coal and now gas out of the mix.

Rod Liddle was vile human excrement and the world is a better place now that he is dead. May he be swiftly forgotten, except as a warning of how not to live.

Rod liddle had a police caution for domestic violence against his then pregnant girlfriend. He once wrote in one of his columns that he could never be a teacher because his urge to rape children was too strong. He is now dead. Obviously no kipper for him.

Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him

From today, EU citizens have a legal right to know when they're talking to a bot or looking at a deepfake, backed by fines of up to €15m. Thanks to Brexit, we're missing out on this protection.

Always makes me smile that most people seem happy to be daily ripped off by corporations owning gas, water etc, but as soon as corporations come for their sport they totally lose it 😅#fifa #MotoGP #Liberty

Man who shagged his girlfriend behind his wife's back lectures the Archbishop of Canterbury on Christianity.

RefUK, RW media, & Eurofash are plainly trying to whip up a panic about this. Any serious report must begin by explaining that Ceuta is in Africa - not mainland Spain - and 48k+ of the 50k crossers were already returned. It is frightening how many still don't know this. Please share on all socials.

I used to imagine that I was something of a Stoic. But after reading this (which is excellent, btw), I now think maybe I'm an Epicurean

I'm not saying I'm desperate, but I'm relying on dick pic enthusiast Jaymey McIvor and entitled gobshite Laila Cunningham to help me fight a bin.

Marvelous piece substack.com/@samf/note/c... Especially: "The purpose of education isn’t just to get a job, it is also to become an active citizen with a shared understanding of our world. [If] we ration academic GCSEs to children from better off families, [we will] bake in existing inequalities"

While fires rage in large parts of Europe incl UK, farmers face crop failure and livestock loss, every RefUK or Tory politician on the news must be challenged on their "let's do away with costly net zero nonsense" stance, side-by-side with live images of the cost of inaction. Expose the charlatans.

It's depressing that this moved me so much, but did. First time I've heard a politician praise a group of immigrants, without caveat, for a long while.
