Still an offcomer after all these years. Aficionado of veggie food, bright tights, politics, frocks with POCKETS, and The Archers.

I was open-minded on this at first. I do believe in repentance, I think people can change, & I could see the logic of giving someone who was trying to do better a chance in local govt. But the evidence suggest that the abusive, persecutory mode of politics hasn't changed. He's just switched targets

I'll be honest: I'd buy this a lot more if his main outlet wasn't abusively attacking opposition politicians via AI slop in ways which obviously nod to other forms of prejudice.

An enormous lie, private healthcare is our enemy. I started my career in Bupa and finished it in the NHS, which cares and protects patients Bupa sees them as a financial commodity, they spend 6 months training staff not to meet claims, it will cost you thousands when at your most vulnerable.
