My folks house is beautiful and kept immaculately. Also my Mum is far too polite to turn away a gift that's bought by someone else. So for years now I've been bringing back some of the worst holiday tat I can find, and she feels obliged to display it. Here's the latest and the collection 😆

Good! The telegraph and daily mail have a long history of saying and whipping up racial hatred. And they use freedom of the press to say what they like, and apologise on the 12th page in the bottom left corner when the public thinks they've gone to far, only then to be regulated by one of their own

Hey British gov sites. Glad you came to terms with the Russian influence in the Brexit vote. Now get the hell off X, which is equally designed to destabilize & groom viewers to act against their own interests. 🇬🇧 Gov sites (that includes the BBC,) should NOT BE ON X. @ukparliament.parliament.uk
