Van dwelling Brit of strongly centre-left politics, a love of blues music and podcasts, and a passion for failing at cooking. Europhile. Rejoiner. United States of Europe would get my X. Van life is incredibly solitary so new friends are always welcome.

I'm getting sick to my back teeth with the 'Israel dragged us into this war' bullshit. Israel certainly is culpable for this clusterfuck but the yanks are, if anything, more culpable. There's no green light without America's say so. Nobody dragged the US in. They chose war of their own accord.

My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.

Here we have yet another self declared 'anti-fascist' that likes Jew killing. These morons have convinced themselves, in spite of decades of evidence to the contrary, that killing Jews is helpful to Palestinians. They are vegetables.

Let's bring back ROTTER as a slur. It's actually quite a powerful insult on lots of levels. I'm minded of rotting zombies with bits falling off in addition to malign personalities. Elon Musk is a smelly rotter.

Americans, would you rather have a decrepit Trump in power or have him die and the reins pass to the much more vigorous, competent and just a nasty JD Vance. As a Brit I'd rather see your orange rapist continue to fuck everything up than see Vance drive Project 25 through to its conclusion.

Jaffa 1929. At 1:30 pm, an immigrant hostel run by the Zionist Commission and home to a hundred people who had arrived in recent weeks and days was attacked by the mob, and though the residents tried to barricade the gate, it was rammed open and Arabs attackers poured in.

I fucking hate the legions of Hamas apologists on Bluesky. What a duplicitous, dishonest and mealy mouthed bunch of shits. They're no better than Russian liars. And no that does not imply any support for Israel's actions in Gaza. It stands on its own merits.

Well this is just terrible news 😢 It was bad enough that we lost Tim early in the COVID pandemic. Now we have lost Mr Ecky Thump himself, the brilliant Bill Oddie. Vale mate. Vale. Thanks for all the laughs. What an absolute treasure we have lost 😢 www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Bill Oddie, naturalist and broadcaster, dies aged 85

Coming to fame in The Goodies, Oddie was later known for his wildlife expertise and presented BBC Springwatch

In the light of Trump and his administrations obvious disdain for the law, I'd like to make a suggestion. Aa soon as the Dems win in 28, round up all those who are responsible for this war and ship them on Trump's shiny new jet to Iran. The entitle Trump family, Hegseth, Rubio, both Kushners....

Spain 1 Carlos Kickaball 0 How predicatable. Argentinians behaving like animals when they don't get their own way. There's a reason the Falkland Islanders have no desire at all to be part of that country. They're shit people.

Ooooh. Anne Widdecombe has died twice today. Firstly of natural causes and then, before tea time, she was brutally murdered. It's been an interesting few days in British politics.
