After Reform UK announced its already dead in the water Operation Fortress, I couldn’t wait to see how they plan to implement it. The idea is apparently to invade France, but politely. Photo credits: The Crewkerne Gazette I believe AI may have been used to construct these images 😃
Listening to and seeing various news outlets talking throughout the day about Farage’s new small boats policy and I notice the tone has completely changed - and there is almost a mockery about it as they take pleasure in correcting his falsehoods.
Farage loves nothing more than a well timed presser.
Yeah but Clacton. Never mind that old guff Arron Banks. What I wanna know is what instructions was Farage given when he took the untaxed £5m. Either way it’s a lose, lose because if he wins, he’ll face scrutiny.

Just putting it there: the last week has shown how Bluesky has grown into the most reliable, noise-, bot- and BS-free resource for anyone interested in football governance and politics. The coverage of Fifa's and Infantino's debacle has been fantastic. Size isn't everything.
A policy on foreign motorists from the serious party. Reform U.K. really scraping the barrel. The dregs of a policy that will make everyone in Clacton vote Reform 😂
FIFA's climbdown is like someone promising they won't actually eat human flesh after disclosing that they have a cannibalism fetish. Nobody can ever trust Infantino again, on anything.
Laugh, I nearly cried when he proved the hypothesis.

The absolute GALL of Farage - he helped Clacton residents to pay tax while he paid ZERO tax on the £5m he grifted.
Saudi Arabia has officially screwed itself by attacking Iranian militias in Iraq and restarting their war with the Houthis. The general consensus with Saudi authorities is that they are "equals" with the US & Israel and will be treated as partners that won't be abandoned; they are wrong.
