When you hear that message “calls may be monitored for quality and training purposes”... it means is the person dealing with you will trot out the company line to the point of absurdity - they're being supervised. It's the same with politicians, except their supervisors are a more complex entity.

Big chance today for the voters of Clacton to show how truly British they are, employ their sense of humour and reject fascism just as their grandparents and parents did before them. Make your vote Count, Clacton! The Bin for the win!

The boomers of Clacton give it up large about their hero grandparents who fought and died in the fight against fascism. Now the people of Clacton don't need to risk their lives in that fight - they just need to stroll down to the polls and vote for Binface. Ridicule is kryptonite to fascists.

Just thinking how Johnson spoke like a newspaper column — colourful, bantering bullshit — whereas Badenoch speaks like the worst kind of comment section: querulous, chippy, pedantic (I'm just talking tone here, not content)

The 10th anniversary of the Brexit vote is a good time to remember the man who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, selling out farming & fishing, erecting huge barriers to trade and making everyone worse off, just because he fancied a bash at being PM.

What's hilarious about the deluded mainsfteam media hailing Burnham's popularity is it's not that Burnham's popular, it's that Starmer's not, and a vote for Burnham is a slap for Starmer. The narrative that voters vote for what they want is risible. They vote seeking vengeance on the smugs.

Time for me to repeat one of my ‘sayings’. If you try to solve a problem by passing a law, but people don’t obey the law, you now have two problems where you used to have one.

I tried to donate a car to Habitat for Humanity but they've outsourced their donation program to a 3rd-party, that sells to an auction house that then sells to used car dealers. Habitat gets little or nothing which defeats the entire purpose of donating to them. Enshittification of everything.
