It is two years today since this dimwit gave us the most hilarious demonstration of karma in history.

My guide to when a by-election should be held: CALL AN ELECTION: When a grifting gobshite wants to distract attention from his dodgy finances. DON’T CALL AN ELECTION: When Robert Jenrick, Danny Kruger, Andrew Rosindell and Suella Braverman fancy changing parties.
ZELENSKYY: Some say with modern technology we're returning Russia to the Middle Ages. Some remember Napoleon, when Moscow burned. But our main goal is not Russia without gasoline, but Ukraine without Russia, without war, with Europe, and Ukraine and Europe without Moscow threat.
Only a united Europe can stand strong against growing authoritarian pressure from China and Trump’s America. Europe has democracy, innovation, culture, human rights, and solidarity. Together, we are stronger. #EU #Europe #EuropeanUnion #Democracy #Unity #Freedom #StrongerTogether #EuropeanValues
A good thread that encapsulates a lot of my thoughts on the current state of UK media.
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 4mo agoAlmost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
What a good job that the Settle & Carlisle line never closed.

BBC Expert Rips Trump For His 'Alarming Lack Of Knowledge' About Iran

GB News loses £22m, taking their total losses to over £130m. Except it's not a 'loss', it's an investment by Paul Marshall in providing a propaganda service to platform right wing grifters, gobshites, conspiracy nutters and contrarian fuckwits.
Farage forgets that the receipts are everywhere This should be enough to trigger the investigation of the Bannon / Epstein connections to Brexit and of course emails exist verifying those connections already
Please just for today say a prayer for the BBC’s Chris Mason.🙏🏻 This brave & much loved Conservative stormtrooper has fought tooth & nail to bring down a Labour Govt It didn’t quite work out Chris but you will join the long list of Tory heroes such as Boris & Maggie! Hero! 😢
Nigel Farage has declared that he is against working from home. It's not a surprise given he is never in Clacton.
True words, although I would be inclined to replace "own" with "supposed".

If Trump is the best that Moscow could find to be a Russian asset, what the heck do they regard as a liability?
Extraordinary story in Poland. Yet more sabotage. Culpability not yet established, but all eyes will be on Russia. Poland has already arrested a total of 55 people only recently for illegal activities on Russia’s behalf. Hybrid warfare becoming part of European life. www.ft.com/content/485f...
Poland blames sabotage for blast on major railway line
Prime Minister Donald Tusk stops short of linking Moscow to explosion

It might actually be part of a fiesta, but I still reckon it says a lot about those taking part.
Politics in the U.K.@politicsintheuk.bsky.social · 9mo agoBritish bellends in Spanish Benidorm threw a protest against immigration. This must be the kind of galaxy-level stupidity where you’re screaming about ‘immigrants’ while you’re drunk in a foreign country, sunburnt to hell, and literally the immigrant clogging up the place.
I came across this through another repost, and it's definitely worth taking some time out to read it all.
Chris Grey@chrisgrey.bsky.social · 9mo agoI'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3
This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.
Who knew that Matthew Syed has a sense of humour!

This has been known for eons, but now with social media and other platforms, it's been perfected. Manipulation has become common. I remember when truth and honesty and integrity and morality were important traits.
