Didn’t take long for ASDA to start crying did it? & you know WHY they are crying…
Oh, Rob - I’m so terribly sorry that people like me who came to this country to work in the NHS, care for vulnerable people, build homes, work in shops and harvest crops are giving such a bad case of the fannywobbles. Bless. I do hope you’re not losing too much sleep.
After more than ten years living, working and paying taxes in Britain, I still feel expected to prove that I belong. Labour is normalising that insecurity. Reform is weaponising it. Together, they are making this country more and more hostile for migrants and naturalised citizens.
One of my favourite Roman sites...been a few years mind since I ventured there...2015. Check out AE Housman's a Shropshire Lad...although you probably have... #RomanSiteSaturday #Wroxeter
If you haven’t seen Trump boring the shit out of a load of NASA astronauts… Their faces are priceless, after keeping them waiting for 50 minutes he rambled on endlessly about himself mainly and how he genetically believes in space.
She didn’t pull the ladder up behind herself, and was too strong for them to destroy her for it. There have been a few people who became famous and tried helping others escape poverty, but the billionaires found their vulnerability and went for the jugular. Dolly apparently had no Achilles heel.

Excuse me! It’s Ron here! As Baby Dog’s Deputy, I wanted to thank you all for the Wonderful Support of his Eyelashes yesterday. So many lovely comments and we love them all. As Deputy, I felt I should have my own close-up video, showing you what a Love Bug I am. Mum says I’m adorable 🧡
Many unfollows for this deeply hurtful announcement. I can't promise but will try to be better in the future and refrain from announcing inexpensive international ways to get signed copies of my books using the Bluesky account I set up for the sole purpose of helping me survive via my writing.

Reminds me of Trump, Farage, Lowe & all the hate-filled fascists & takers For all things turn to barrenness In the dim glass the demons hold
Steve: Ugh What day is it Brad: I have no idea. My head hurts
The village gave the scarecrows their annual day out. Mr Lumpy, Chinwag & Little Billy were all allowed to shout at nobody in particular in the big city. They had a wonderful time! When they got back home they were put back in the fields with a glass of milk & some warm turnip.👨🌾

Can we all please agree not to use "staycation" (which means spending your holiday in your own home) with going away on holiday to somewhere else in your own damn country. Looking at you, BBC.
"You think we are calling for brutality? We are calling for demoralizing the people to such an extent that they come out to meet our troops with their hands up." Russian State Duma deputy speaker Pyotr Tolstoy said that Russia must openly bomb Ukrainian cities to demoralize the population
I keep re-seeing the terrible, monumental sights of Earth & water overwhelming that town in Nepal The terror & implacability of Nature. The poor people. It looked like how I imagine Pompei must have looked (a bit) 😔
Germany’s Far Right AfD plans to expand Russian language teaching and reinstate school exchanges with Russia if it wins the Saxony-Anhalt regional election on September 6. It also says it would remove refugee and disabled children from mainstream schools and educate them separately.
‘Educating‘ refugee and disabled children separately has a very nazi ring to it.

Reminds me of the time when fellow gobshite wrote an article about how she wouldn’t let her children play with other children who had certain types of names, like geographical names, but was then revealed that her daughter was called India. youtu.be/oVRlYcPIacE?...

Look - I believe very firmly- that people's private lives are their own business. BUT when you've left your partner, moved with your kids to Dubai without them and started a relationship with someone who also left their partner and kids... well you deserve nothing but mockery for posts like this.
