Dunno why Braverman needs to hear this, but if you are going for blood and soil nationalism and purity, there will be absolutely no-one "english" after all these years and all the invasions and colonialism. Its over-educational bullshit

At this point Broadcom has absolutely every intention of killing vmware as a commercial operation.

Self serving PR guff. See Tierney who said Celtic was the only club for him then pissed off to England the first chance he got. Or the huns who did walking away when their club died. Also, I seem to remember Lee Richardson offering his services around 2000ish.

Is everything gender? Is everyone twelve? In the Republican Party, you don't have to choose!

Trump posts bizarre drag video attacking CNN

JUST IN: In a deeply embarrassing and un-American court filing, the Trump regime is now arguing that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico can be stripped of White House access in the name of “national security.” 1/

Dumbfounded at those voting against the idea that Scotland has the right to decide its own future. Literally saying "i think someone else should tell us what to do because i'm too thick to decide whats best" Surely you want the option to have your say, even if you want to say no?? Idiots

This is terrorism. Jail him.

5. After around 30 hours at sea, the dinghy was intercepted by the RNLI and those on board transferred to two lifeboats. Two lifeboat personnel tried to secure the empty dinghy. Thomas yelled abuse and knifed the dinghy to deflate it - with a rescuer still on board.

It is very hard to satisfactorily describe just how badly the BBC's journalistic standards have collapsed in recent years. Quite completely fucking useless.

The major problem with this reporting - beyond its fundamental inaccuracy - is that when arrests are eventually made there will be no proper context and therefore it will seem like the state is smothering free expression.

The blackshirts are back, and tumbleweed skites across the space where UKGov action should be.

Over 3,500 people are currently facing terrorism charges in the UK for holding signs saying "I support Palestine Action".

Far-right activist Daniel Thomas slashes dinghy in Channel with blade while rescue worker onboard

Thomas called followers to protest against arrival of asylum seekers in Gosport, but Border Force instead transported them to Dover

NEW | I’m not surprised, but I am livid. BBC NEWS, ‘DANNY TOMMO’ AND THE DINGHY ATTACK THAT DISAPPEARED While the rest of the media – even the very worst parts – report on Daniel Thomas’ actions, BBC News fails to give its audience the facts. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/bbc-news-d...

BBC News, ‘Danny Tommo’ and the dinghy attack that disappeared

While the rest of the media – even the very worst parts – report on Daniel Thomas’ actions, BBC News fails to give its audience the facts.

they should study him in a lab. I don’t think I could write this badly on purpose. still, glad this has higher billing than coverage of last night’s far right escalation

Jim Ratcliffe is just the posh version of hooded boat terrorists. Neither are patriots, in fact I would go so far as to say they are the traitors to their country.

15 years of brutal austerity + increasingly vile far right politics to secure the positions of parties enforcing it + world’s most poisonous media outlets = Years of fascist rioting with little or no government response

something has gone very, very wrong with the UK

Kevin Thurston@del-boy.bsky.social · 2d ago

As a criminal lawyer, it is wild to see so many obviously prosecutable offences committed by a single individual over a short period of time with such apparent impunity.

Emma Yeomans@yeomans.bsky.social · 2d ago

Worrying scenes in the Channel today, for all interested in asylum policy and maritime tactics. A small boat from Normandy spent more than 30 hours at sea. Those on board now on their 2nd rescue vessel as Border Force forced to play cat and mouse with far-right activists who have their own boat.

I imagine the list of things Andy Burnham has not ruled out is quite large? Andy Burnham has not ruled out..... Sending british cows to the moon. Renaming Leicester "Pootown". Giving a paedo a state visit.

Alex Hall Hall@alexhh.bsky.social · 2d ago

Wey hey!! Two cheers. Hurrah! I’m almost, but not, quite, mildly excited that something might not be ruled out in a few years time. Way to go, Andy. Bold, bravely ambivalent, solidly ambiguous, resolutely vague leadership, at last. 🙄🙄🙄 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Guess how the BBC just framed the government promise to give statutory leave to workers who have suffered a bereavement? As extra bureaucracy and cost for corporations... What an utter disgrace the BBC has become. It's simply a tool of billionaire malice now

"Wendies" ?

Ian Dunt@iandunt.bsky.social · 2d ago

Conference season means lots of trips to the fast-food chains that populate Britain. They are near universally terrible. Wendies: an outrage. Subway: drab and filthy. Pret: boring and unsatisfying.

Checking the calendar to make sure it isn't April

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

I'm shocked you can't recruit workers to a service you have threatened to close. How can doctors build lives and careers if they move to a hospital only for the service to be regionalised to belfast - like everything in Northern ireland? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Even medical professionals are skipping health insurance because of high prices." A doctor and a pharmacist in Idaho just dropped coverage for their family of four. Their premium hit nearly $1,600 a month. If they can't afford it, who can?

They always sound so excited, too. “It’s a political earthquake! It’s a shockwave!“ Well yes, that’s the rumble of approaching jackboots. Why are you so hyped?

Jay Rayner@jayrayner1.bsky.social · 3d ago

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.
