I don’t see being called woke is an insult! I haven’t got all the answers, but I’ve plenty of questions! Always happy to learn

Last November Farage told Sky News: “I’ve just exchanged contracts on the house that I’ll be living there in – is that good enough?… *I’ve bought a house in Clacton* What more do you want me to do?” Oh, I dunno Nigel. Tell the truth? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Also this weird misconception that public sector workers aren't taxpayers too. Anyone want to see the deductions on my payslip? Plus, I've got no choice about manipulating how I'm paid to minimise tax. That's as it should be, but it should be the same for everyone.
I, and thousand like me, have spent our entire careers in the public sector. Every aspect of my entirely life has been funded by tax payers. In exchange I’ve worked as a researcher and a teacher. It was a wage, not a giveaway. Take your misogyny and get fucked, Jez.
Lucy Connolly, jailed for urging people to set fire to hotels housing refugees, is speaking at the Reform party conference today. All the worst people.
Morning all! On the road to Austria after an absolutely storming gig in Halle last night. I love the metal community - the kids in this town formed their own Metal alliance, converted an old building and with an army of volunteers created their own Metal club and meeting place. I salute them. 🤘

Way, way too little, too late!
You had your chance to remove and bar him from the presidency after Jan 6. And you chickened out.
resistance through art
Those who force pregnant women to look at pictures of fetuses before they're allowed to have an abortion should force anti-vaxxers to look at videos of children suffering and dying of preventable diseases and provide a written explanation why they don't mind their own children suffering or dying.
Mrs F has today just finished a year long course of immunotherapy for lung cancer. This followed gruelling sessions of chemotherapy and radiotherapy last year. Here's hoping that everything has been successful and we have many more happy years to come 🙏

He should have to wear that one 24/7!
Farage in Congress shamelessly wearing a GB News badge. Grifting twat. I’ve added a more appropriate one. You’re welcome.
🚨 SCOOP: Reform donor in breach of company law Nigel Farage’s party has taken £50,000 from a company run by property tycoon Robert Tchenguiz — despite the firm failing to file its accounts on time, a criminal offence under the Companies Act. democracyforsale.substack.com/p/new-reform...

Good point! Lol
Presidential sex abuse (how relevant)
I was a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Seeing these women getting the coverage and support they are this morning...brings a smile to my face. I don't see broken women. I see strong and empowered women. They. Will. Prevail.

Asking for a friend? Lol
Zack Polanski has been on Question Time 0 times. Nigel Farage has been on Question Time 38 times. But they both lead parties with 4 MP's. When is Zack getting his 38 appearances?
This has MADE MY FUCKING DAY!! 😅😅😅🔥🔥

That’ll be all over our news tonight! (some hope!)
Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with" JR then demolishes Farage, ending with "You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

Christ. We literally were so sick of the Tories talking about delivery by the end. Who thought this was a good comms strategy? Fuckssake. Amateurs.
It's a good question.

Not a chance with today’s media backing him all the way!

Anybody in a position of power anywhere, care to comment? Anyone? I suppose the total destabilisation of the global structure is the aim, and boy are we racing to a conclusion!

I’d disagree with ‘turned out to be’ - he always was!
As noted elsewhere in this thread, Isaac from Crystal Clean Windows York Limited came over and cleaned the restaurants windows for free and helped remove the graffiti. That's patriotism! Trying to make your community better. Reaching out and helping others.

I live in one of the most multicultural areas of the UK and there is rarely a day where I'm not positively impacted by that - whether it's delicious food, really good local businesses or my incredibly kind neighbours. I'm not saying this as a political statement, more just a reality of my life.

lol - looks awful!
Disgraceful.

As you say - so simple, but beautiful works

Like, I don’t wanna yuck anyone’s yum or whatever, but the absolute blanket coverage of extremely vacuous takes about the engagement of a pop star made me realise (again) that the counterculture is really going through a fallow period at the moment, isn’t it?
But it is the guns. Metal detectors and perimeter controls aren’t going to stop an armed maniac from shooting kids. Just like common sense won’t stop a Fox maniac from shooting his mouth.

On a train to Norwich and surrounded by some very icky men who haven't stopped fucking sniffing, clearing their throats or guzzling non stop. Once again I'm reminded what a good job it is that I never married as they'd have almost certainly ended up underneath my patio within a week. 🤮🤮🤮
It's time to start showing receipts.

Something to do with clashes with Europe game nights, or some such - I lost the will to live half way through the explanation!

According to my bsky timeline, Yaxley Lemming is spouting shit about inger land on Twatter & Cis E SpaceEx is retweeting it. Anyone who's still using that toxic site is legitimising the sewage.

She should save her tears for herself. He’s doing everything that he’d said he’d do, so they knew exactly what they were voting for, except they thought he wouldn’t include them!
Maybe the government should step in once Bamford has paid his £500m tax bill.

And yet I’m still having arguments with people going on about left wing bias at the BBC! I despair- is there no critical thinking around these days, or do people just swallow this rubbish!
Dennis (@dennisd56.bsky.social) reply parent
Gave up on it after about 20 mins - truly awful!
Jeez I’m sick of all these flag shaggers, their stupidity is utterly depressing! I really do worry for the future of the UK.
Dennis (@dennisd56.bsky.social) reply parent
We have the same here : London is a war zone etc, which is rather odd when I’m around various parts every day and just see people getting in with their lives. Yes of course there is crime, but it’s nowhere near what the right wing scaremongers would have you believe!
I'm thinking of all the many times I wore a watch, used a park, and walked a street in DC and was never robbed or mugged. Was I just *incredibly* lucky? Or is Stephen Miller a shameless fucking liar? (Hint: I suspect the latter.)

Never knew of him until my wife showed me some you tube clips - seemed to be a thoroughly decent man who will be sadly missed, especially these days. RIP
I hope the fella on the ground gets a totally different sentence from the bloke one floor up. Not because I think he deserves it, I'd just like to see some genuine two-tier justice for once.
So glad I resigned my Labour membership after that horrific immigration speech by Starmer. Not saying there aren't positives happening in the country - NHS, climate policies, housing - but f*** me, if your agenda is to further divide an already polarised nation then 🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽
Whatever patriotism is, it certainly isn’t encouraging hate of a fellow human because of their race, religion or heritage, while waving a flag. Pass it on.
If you don't love Nigel Farage give this a Like. If you hate him, give it a RT.
Dennis (@dennisd56.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh yes! Lol
Dangerous and bad right wing radical. Starmer loves him. It's their party now. Why is he being interviewed is the obvious question.
