This is *such* a revealing line about Kemi's world view and contempt for those who do the day to day work of keeping our society functioning
This walk #HumanistHeritage walk introduces some of the key freethinkers and reformers who have shaped, and been shaped by, Cardiff. These include names like Aneurin Bevan, the architect of the NHS, and lesser known figures like Millicent Mackenzie, a pioneer for women’s rights and education.

The Righteous Rupert Lowe-Life preached about leaches sucking the financial blood out of Britain. This is the same Whoopert Lowe-Life whose company took £100k in furlough cash despite making £7.9 million profit He really didn’t need it but it was free, it was available so he took it like a leach
Phang: "Capital One said, 'We don't want the business anymore of the 45th president of the United States, his businesses, his failed sons, and his revocable trust.' So you can imagine -- I am just hypothesizing... but it suggests whatever Capital One uncovered was pretty bad. Makes you wonder..."
it’s actually crazy how every Republican who claims they will stand up to Trump is just a total cuck with a humiliation fetish
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayTillis admits Trump is weaponizing the DOJ during his speech announcing he'll vote for Todd Blanche: "Maybe it's a little bit more intense in this administration than the last one ... I'm going to support Mr Blanche's nomination"
❗️Zelensky: Today, many were shocked by another video of the Russian drone safari against people in Kherson. The man was injured by the explosion. The world must see this. It must see every fact that Russia has gone mad, and every fact that the Russian military enjoys killing and mocking people.
Buying groceries and voting are basically the same, except at the store you pick the vegetables and at the polls you elect them.
Anne Frank was arrested on this day in 1944. History rarely returns wearing the same uniform, it returns asking the same thing of ordinary people: Will you sit down and look away? Or will you stand up and fight? #Resist
The proposition that the president of the United States is an adjudicated rapist isn't an argument. It is a fact.

Approval of east London datacentre labelled ‘slap in the face’ for local democracy. Datacentre prioritised over building affordable homes. Little attention to environmental issues. Govt overturning local council refusal is not devolution or democracy. Big business always wins.

Once again for those at the back: ‘Don’t speak ill of the dead’ is about your great aunt Elsie, who liked a long gin with a short tonic at elevenses, and blew your inheritance money betting on the horses. Speaking ill of absolute monsters is a moral obligation, actually.
What more fitting way to remember Rod Liddle’s life and work than by making nasty jokes about someone who can’t answer back
Rod Liddle has died. He blazed a trail from international socialist in Labour to the xenophobic "left conservatism" of zombie Social Democratic Party. He wrote for the Guardian until 2003, then increasingly curled out his stale pale male opinions in RW press. He'll mostly be remembered as a nonce.
![Rod Liddle article in THE SPECTATOR
"I never found out because the one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids. It seemed to me virtually impossible not to, and I was convinced that I'd be right in there, on day one. We're talking secondary school level here, by the way - and even then I don't think I'd have dabbled much below year ten, as it is now called. I just thought we ought to clear that up early on. At my old comprehensive..."
["I don't think I'd have dabbled much below year ten, as it is now called" = Year Ten is 14 to 15 years old]

It’s not a revelation that the president of the USA is one of the most prolific white-collar criminals on Earth, but what is slightly galling is that nobody seems to care all that much.

The best time to make “Republicans want to take your kids into school a bathroom, pull down their pants, and inspect their genitals” stick to the entire party of Epstein file protectors was when they said that’s essentially what they wanted to do years ago back in Ohio. The next best time is now.

I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.
