But they seemed like such nice, patriotic, community-minded chaps. (Except the ones currently facing murder, child abuse & assault charges, obviously.)
Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterdayLeaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
If you aren't angry then you aren't paying attention.
WHY WOULD ANY USA CITIZEN BE EXEMPT FROM A TAX AUDIT??? Especially The President? He is not a KING ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Now mixing in paid advertisements into his normal corruption.
For days, Reform politicians claimed that significant numbers of migrants who surged into Ceuta would be heading to Calais and onwards to Britain Not only have most already returned to Morocco, but Moroccans have made up just 0.07% of small boat arrivals since 2021 inews.co.uk/news/no-thou...
No, thousands of migrants won't come to the UK from Ceuta - here's why
Fears of a new migration crisis impacting the UK are misplaced despite the chaotic scenes witnessed in Ceuta, an expert has said

“The president and first lady seemed totally unfazed about whether there was an abuser—another abuser—in their workplace. There was no follow-up from either of them to see if I needed help or protection. There was no investigation ordered. No effort to get to the bottom of this ....
I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Hook line and stinker. Farage is toast.
Northern & proud 👊@gazlancs.bsky.social · 4d agoNigel Farage struck a secret deal to return as Reform leader months before the election, and showed it to the treasurer in May 2024.So the man who claimed he “wasn’t involved in politics” and therefore didn’t need to declare gifts was already cutting leadership deals behind the scenes.😆

Exclusive: Some EU citizens in the UK have been contacted by the Home Office to say they were granted settlement status after Brexit "in error". If you know anyone this happened to contact me on lisa.ocarroll@theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
EU citizens in UK get letters telling them post-Brexit residency rights were given ‘in error’
After years of building lives in UK, potentially thousands of EU citizens could be told they have no right to remain

We could easily make Air-to air heat pumps (heating and cooling) with HEPA filters the standard for all public buildings, schools and workplaces. Yes, big spending, but an investment with almost incalculable returns.The only thing lacking is political will.
Spain clearly controls entry into the Schengen area from Africa. Almost everyone who entered Ceuta has returned. They would not have been eligible for regularisation anyway. Take your profound ignorance elsewhere.
Piñín♾️ ... que de Piñón "ye" sobrín@the-real-nacho.bsky.social · 4d agoSpain could control entry to the Schengen area from Africa but it doesn't. The ailing government in Madrid has just granted EU residency to 600,000+ undocumented migrants. This pull factor together with Spain's incompetent border control strategies have led to a very dangerous situation in #Ceuta.
Energy abundance is not the same as abundant energy. Nice to see The Hill run with electrofficiency, a term I coined this year: electrify an end use and you cut the energy needed to deliver the same service. thehill.com/opinion/ener...

Performative bullshit. Fauci is a hero. Besides, they’re trying to ban an 85-year-old retiree from a job he already left.
So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
Among the very many dim takes around the Ceuta incident... the very, very dumbest must be the assumption in Reform circles that all those people were somehow trying to make it to Britain. How exceptionalist and indeed exceptionally stupid can you get?
Epstein files aren't worth seeing or discussing, but Fauci's personal diary...? THERE's our new distraction. I'd listen to this remarkable woman.
This is even worse than Badenoch’s letter yesterday, as she has space to explain what she would do instead of net zero targets to tackle the climate change she accepts is real but then doesn’t. She accuses Labour of not having a plan, then insists we should trust her unannounced plan will be better.
