Exactly this. Violent, bloke proving us right yet again.

Someone please, please ask him a question in French.

Mr Ian Dury wrote brilliant lyrics. "Later on he drove a Roller, chauffeuring for foreign men Dropped his aitches on occasion, said : 'Cor blimey!' now and then Did the crossword in the Standard at the airport in the rain At the airport in the rain, My old man” #MyOldMan #IanDury

4 Aug 1978, Jilted John released the single JILTED JOHN. Jilted John was actually actor/musician Graham Fellows, who was a 19-year-old drama student at the time. It made No.4 on the UK chart.

Came across this recently (it’s from March). From a related BBC article: “Welcome to the online world of looksmaxxing, where a growing number of young men are going to great lengths to get what they see as the perfect face and body, and therefore the perfect life.” Familiar?

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

One of the most fascinating facts about the ocean, is that there are whales alive today who were born before Moby Dick was written. Some of the bowhead whales in the icy waters off of Alaska today are over 200 years old. Original post

French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡

It’s 2026. Knowledge has never been more accessible. Read books. Read history. Read credible journalism. Ask questions. Think critically. Anyone telling you education is the enemy is protecting themselves from an informed public. An informed electorate is the foundation of a healthy democracy.

Very obliging of #r4today to lead with Reform’s ‘plan’ to stop the boats using the Royal Navy, pretending it’ll be some great WWII-style escapade, rather than a hateful, costly, diplomatically incontinent mess. A total waste of everyone’s time as they’ll never be in power and it’s unworkable anyway.

If someone misoriented me and referred to me as heterosexual, would I be justified in having a serious hissy fit, aggressively reprimanding them whilst shouting “I’m gay! I’m gay” at them and then trying to sue them for completely failing to affirm me? How far would I get? Asking for a friend. 😉

Trevor Phillips one of the architects of the Equality Act: “We never imagined that there would be people peddling the fantasy that you can just make up what sex you are. And it never occurred to me that people who make decisions on these things would be engulfed by this fantasy”.

he adds. “When I was a student, one of the things we fought for was that women could operate independently of men. Now, according to this new fantasy world, the one thing women cannot do is decide when they want to be separate from men. It’s not just outrageous, it’s insane.”

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

What's the word for a man who uses his sexual fantasies to promote his misogynist ideology?
