The UK is falling apart and the Media is ranting on about immigration, which hasn't really changed in 5 years, and is in fact going down. Perhaps their obsession is not because it is a big deal, but because the big issue is the rampant profiteering of their billionaire masters?

Oh that’s an interesting thought.
I think that they are cotton gins, part of a process to remove seeds from the cotton, comb it, then bale it. Interestingly, the sacks say the material has come from Southern Rhodesia, which was a big supplier of cotton.
Thanks! They seem to have some sort of extraction device to get the dust out of the air???

#OnThisDay 2 Sept 1892 Goodison Park, the first purpose-built football stadium in England, hosted its first match as #Everton beat West Brom 4-2 It also hosted matches in the 1966 World Cup and has a church within its grounds Have you been? What did you think? #groundhopping
I've looked and looked; but it really looks like a horse and cart.
An easy mistake to make. You need to look at in an existential way. If you do you will clearly see that it is, in fact, a horse and cart 😂😂😂
We need to stop slashing into Disabled People, Pensioners and workers to save pennies. And start slashing into Billionaires and Privatisation, to get billions.
Question to Zach Polanski at the leadership announcement: "Q: How can you take on Nigel Farage when your policy on immigration is so different?" Everything wrong with British politics and media summed up so succinctly in a single absolutely unhinged question.
Well said!!!!
If Nigel Farage really loved Britain he wouldn't talk it down at every opportunity to a bunch of ill informed right wing American fuckwits who know sweet FA about the reality of this country.
Thanks Gerry.

Thanks Mark. I’ll look out for it. I know a couple of retired pilots and a current one plus a crew member on the pilot boat. Their stories are fascinating.
At a subsequent trial it was found to be justifiable homicide
Liverpool Pilot boat No 4 - the brave pilots and their crews do an amazing job in a river that is difficult to navigate.

I certainly hope so!

Can anyone help me with what process is going on here please? On the back of the photo it says “cotton workers”.
You get a better class of graffiti in Lark Lane Liverpool.

Greta Thunberg continues her journey to try break Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza from the sea which they have maintained for 18 years The War Criminals pledged to arrest the 'terrorist' and detain her indefinately in one of their torture camps The world stands with Greta
They said Brexit was taking back control, now they say leaving the ECHR is taking back control How about we really take back control, of the Energy, of the Water, of the Public Transport, of the Housing, of the Banks They would be terrified of that, actually taking back control
Imagine living a life where you only want to mix with people who look and sound like you. Never accomplishing anything of note, barely making it out your own town and sneering at people who can speak several languages with respectable professions or businesses. Go get a job you pathetic gimps.
Rejoin isn’t the issue of the era. Racism is. Britain is drowning in hate. We can’t let Farage remake us into a truly nasty nation www.thenewworld.co.uk/paul-mason-r...
It will not stop them from dying and when they die they will not have any money at all.
Why do people who already have more money than they could spend in 100 lifetimes want more?!

Pay attention to where you pay attention.
Brexit never ended, and it never will
People who stand for the rule of law, blaming people they don’t know of crimes they have not committed by committing crimes!
Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Well I’m shocked I tell you … shocked!!!! NOT!

Racism has cost the UK yet another nurse. This will be the cost, you will be left with racist thugs and no healthcare.
Admit it! You read this in your head in a ludicrous French accent!
Urban walls, sidewalks, and even utility meters are the unlikely canvases behind this clever collection of genius street art. From an illusion of a zebra being striped to a sidewalk creature with a real rock for a head, these eight works turn... 👇
Revoking an entire nationality’s visas is collective punishment and never acceptable — especially in this moment when millions of Palestinians lack equal rights, basic healthcare, and so much more at home, forcing them out of the US is unfathomably cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
A lead CDC official who resigned said Kennedy’s team asked him to “change studies that have been settled in the past” to fit anti-vax views. That’s not public health leadership—it’s malpractice. 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/30/o... #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #SciSky #NurseSky
ICYMI: Heathrow Airport has been unveiled as a "major sponsor" of Reform UK's conference this coming weekend. Reform says "big businesses flock to the Party they perceive to be most likely to form the next Government." (Heathrow is majority owned by state-owned sovereign wealth funds - inc. Qatar)
Brexiteers hate everything! They hate everything that they do not understand!
Yes you are probably right.
Amazing!!!!
She did for us – in so many senses of the word – what Reagan did for the US.
What is it with right wingers? They lie constantly even about things that can easily be checked … that suggests a very high degree of stupidity!

Ha good on them. Let them know they are not getting to you,even if they are.
Clayton “MP” Fartrage is skipping the return to parliament next week to fly to the USA. If he were a kid skipping the start of the school year there would be fines and sanctions flying around. No doubt he’ll be bad-mouthing the UK again although he doesn’t need to leave the country to do that.

Even someone more right-wing than Nigel #FarageRiots (is that possible) uses misogynistic language and is heavily critical of Reform, saying #FarageRiots2 has “submitted” to Islam and looks down on working-class people who give him power…..Nigel’s sacked him! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
