Who let's him do this... and who could possibly be impressed?

FBPE. Generally genial. Still learning as I go. Check out my web site - seanconnorswrites.com Best review from Jaden `This book is brilliant! Just as good as Harry Potter - but without the magicʼ. 🤣
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 21h agoGotta love the EU. This is a great move.

Hi George, I couldn't see in the article who funded the research, any ideas?
I don't think they are committed to anything much! The British Apathy League once held a conference, and nobody came. That's them.
Zero new reservoirs since Thatcher. Just sayin'!
fife4europe #FBPE #RejoinEU@fife4europe.bsky.social · 2w agoAsking households to abide by hosepipe bans while data centres draw millions of litres of drinking water daily is unviable. The UK government must mandate non-potable or dry cooling for AI infrastructure—tech growth cannot come at the expense of basic water security.
Same in Spain since 2012. I've known of two families deported for not meeting the requirements and becoming a burden on the state.
If you’re wondering why UK press has suddenly woken up to Farage, please read this. It’s because: Brexit. The r/w press refused to scrutinise the money behind Farage & the lawsuit against me scared off the rest. But this isn’t a new scandal. It’s the same one I’ve been reporting on for a decade
THE NERVE@thenerve.news · 2w agoNEW: Who funds Nigel Farage? And why has it taken till now for any journalistic scrutiny? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social who has tracked him for a decade exposes how the UK press & regulators looked the other way 🧵👇
I'm a boomer and have millennial and gen-z daughters who understand why we have vaccines and believe in them. It's not a generational thing. It's an intelligence, critical thinking, feelings over facts thing.
There's an international money network reaching the 4 corners of the world, stretching back hundreds of years that controls much of the UK. A dusty, old, untouchable world within a world. Cocooned by its own police force and fuelled by the pound sterling. On the day they adopt the Euro pigs will fly
Those in favour of authoritarian regimes and the rule of the few have found the blind spot of democracy.
Interesting read. The long and short of it is, without any actual voting members and controlled by just 2 people (and lots of billionaire donors), if Reform win the general election, we effectively become an Oligarchy/Dictatorship. Our liberty is on the line here.
Discouraging an activity with a benefit-to-cost ratio of nearly 10:1. A triumph of policymaking.
Fall in international student numbers ‘cost UK £2.9 billion’
Latest cost-benefit analysis finds overseas enrolments generate nearly 10 times more money for UK than they take away

That distinction is irrelevant. If you truly believe your system of government is so democratically deficient so as to not at all being able to represent the will of the people, then 1) it certainly shouldn't be a member of the EU and 2) you should revolt against what is clearly outright tyranny.
Absolutely correct, the historical record is unambiguous. Britain voted to leave the EU, celebrated leaving the EU and spent years denouncing the EU. Calling that anything other than a rejection is simply revisionism.
Critical thinking is the most essential requirement for a functioning democracy.
And Johnson’s election victory on the promise that he would, “get Brexit done.”
The same Republicans who were hysterical when asked to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID19 have no problem wearing masks to spread their White Nationalist Christian hatred.
It's the BBC way, just like Farage. I wonder what it's going to report about the Cottrell exposé with Farage in the Sunday Times?
Neil Mackay@neilmackay.bsky.social · last mo.Very strange framing of this story by the BBC. They could just play it straight in the headline and say ‘Marine Le Pen awaits verdict to decide her future in French presidential race’. But to add ‘moment of destiny’ bestows a sense of greatness on her. It’s also notable she’s not called ‘far right’
Great, so how do you separate them from other UK citizens remembering that you can’t - as confirmed by the courts - force them to hold different ID? The GFA is no compatible as stands with Schengen.
He’s a bandwagon jumping, professional RW gobshite. Any live media that has him on ( and there are too many) gets immediately switched off. So frustrating watching people like Montie, who said Boris would be a great PM, just change to ‘Farage would be a great PM’ and the clapping seals clap.
Surely the two aren’t mutually exclusive? All tax avoidance should be investigated. We all pay otherwise.
A plausible range of 30-70% says to me that the data must be pretty awful.
That, and then the UK will have to thoroughly reform. An attitude change will also be needed.
... have to be quite mad to waste time and resources on entering into negotiations at this point. I honestly find these blinkered people who think we can rejoin by simply flicking their fingers and demanding it almost as annoying as those Brexiteers who, when we left, wondered why the EU...
In addition, he strongly implied it was 'salary'. What services did he provide for this work? #NigelFarage
Seán Connors@seanconnorswrites.bsky.social · last mo.If £5m is given as a political donation, it must be declared. If £5m is given as a no strings attached gift - that he could use to buy Ferraris if he wanted - then it must be declared for tax purposes. Either way, he's got big questions to answer.
