For thousands of years, a solar eclipse has been a prophetic harbinger of a spectacular, epoch-making event. Just saying. #VoteBinface #Clacton

It’s election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.

I believe Clacton deserves an MP who will spend their time shining a light on everything the area has to offer. And why wait till I'm elected? I've been to visit one of the constituency's most stunning landmarks.

Japan News, English language version of country's largest daily, reviews my book Post Mortem - "important read when looking at technology we rely on and the attitudes of govts and tech firms, including Fujitsu...". Let's hope the company's bosses read it. japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/culture/book...

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

I think I’ve been scammed….My Rottweilers haven’t grown in months 😱😱

People like Donald get worse if they’re allowed to. His disgusting racism is increasingly blatant and dangerous because the Republicans, with their silence, encourage it. They are complicit in every awful thing they allow their hideous leader to do.

One of my new fleet of 15 metallic news stands for Enfield Dispatch. If these don't save local journalism, nothing will.

Wouldn't like to be in their choux

Says the man who negotiated the biggest act of self-harm in our history, then killed thousands during Covid by being a dithering fool, then threw away his massive majority because he couldn't follow his own rules. Sit down and shut up you useless tit.

I will be joining the anti racism rally today at Belfast City Hall at 12.00 noon to stand in solidarity with our new and old neighbours and friends and communities. Stop the Violence, Stop the Hate. We are better than this.
