Leaders 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.

Maybe the *real* pandemic was the america-braining that infected us all to the extent that we're on day...four? five? of UK lockdown discourse, sparked almost entirely by a very dumb US witch hunt against Anthony Fauci.
Banging couple of dives in the M2 and the Baygitano yesterday. Congers in holes: nice, free-swimming: unusual but cool, swimming at you: hell to the fuck no

It’s still July, still a heatwave, we’re in a drought, Europe’s on fire, the football season hasn’t started….. So get up Imperial then, go to The Range, it’s time to get the Hallowe’en stuff in my bab!
TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.
Liberal England... Our universities aren't just managerialist: they're authoritarian "The atmosphere of fear and expected obedience reminds me of my time as a student in Poland, but the reason I use the word 'authoritarian' is more banal: leadership is immune to any actionable feedback from below."

Very satisfying to catch someone in a big fat lie in a meeting in front of very important people: "when we place people in the accommodation we provide certain items of new furniture and have a removals team for the old" - next 3 slides: pictures of mountain of fly-tipped mattresses front and back
"Free Lucy Connolly" and "jail Zack Polanski" are not remotely intellectually consistent as positions. Anyone who's said both – hi Zia! – can be dismissed as an insincere grifter. And that's even before you factor that Connolly's post was significantly worse *and* made during a time of riots.
Feels to me like the UK has forgotten what actual terrorism is. Wait until they hear about dissident Republicans driving massive bombs around the place and loyalist terrorists burning people out of their homes

Business rates to be cut by 20% for England pubs, clubs and music venues

This disingenuous commentary doesn’t help anyone. Frauds start unravelling pretty quickly. That you apparently cannot afford to put your oven or treat yourself is quickly undermined by the question “so why are you spending £50 per week on petrol?” Then, it turns out, she has an agent and /1
Ash@queerash.bsky.social · 2w agoElaine in this article "can't remember the last time she used her oven" but also spends £200 a month on petrol (so driving probably ~50 miles a day?) (she's also a professional old person; she was on Good Morning Britain last year, and then also at the Nov budget, and the year before lmao)
