🤬🤬
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nigel Farage has more TV time than any other politician with the exception of Keir Starmer, though some weeks he has more than him as well. You are being relentlessly forced every day by the Media to listen to a biased racist narrative that 80% of the UK do not agree with.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Best song I've heard in a while ✊ youtu.be/OjGHf7OvglM?...
Not in our name: the flag belongs to us all The far-right does not have an exclusive claim on our national flags.
Hideous little toad
#Trump
My daily rant perfectly expressed
Incredible that Reform and Farage are given hours of coverage to pretend they are patriots on the BBC when their policies aim at the literal destruction of national institutions like the BBC and NHS. The BBC is inviting in a parasite that wants to eat it from the inside.
The Israeli government has adopted the double-strike tactic used by Bashar al-Assad in Syria: target a hospital or heavily populated area, then hit it again when rescue workers, reporters and medics turn up, to kill or maim them too. Hideous war crimes piled one upon another.
And, the Media relentlessly promote him
Oh, no doubt about it.
Or, their personal opinions and prejudices
Everything Farage said over Brexit - including on sovereignty - has been proved demonstrably wrong. He was instrumental is the worst policy catastrophe since the Second World War. Yet the same type of obvious, transparent lies are all the rage now. (1/2)
In case anyone is still wondering why Bolton was raided
The i used to be reasonably balanced but, they joined the rest of the RW Media as soon as Labour came to office. It is beyond them to print anything positive about the Government, that is trying to clear up 14 years of Tory incompetence and corruption in difficult Global conditions
I wonder if #Trump has anybody bright enough to advise him that if he doesn’t stop #Netanyahu, he can kiss any chance of a Peace Prize goodbye for ever. This will be his legacy and, the Historians will crucify him
It’s a real toss between #Israel and the #USA for which is the most corrupt and evil Administration at the moment. #Netanyahu and #Trump are making some of the long standing Despots look like Sunday School Teachers. Toal impotence of Organisations supposed to protect the innocent laid bare #Gaza
FFS
Hardly. A halfwit and an honourable man. No contest
Hands on hips aggressive stance with no answers
Unfortunately, it’s not
“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.
Left: Putin and Trump meet in Alaska Right: "I'm offended that a war criminal (Putin) and a convicted felon (Trump), chose Alaska to meet to end the war in Ukraine without inviting Zelenskyy?" "It is appalling that we are not as a nation arresting Putin when he should be facing war crime charges"
#Trump
Any chance that the exceptional weather for the past 4 months is a factor. Sky always keen to mention the poor weather when the figures go down. GB News sister Company these days, they have completely shot any credibility they had over the past 12 months. Abysmal #sky
Remember Sit-Ins, Marches, Freedom Rides? Parks, King, X? Birmingham, Montgomery, Greensboro? The 1960s KNEW mass arrests. A notable tactic used to bring national attention to the cause. Thanks Met Police for arresting 466 of us yesterday. As history teaches us - we will win. #FreePalestine🇵🇸
I want #Labour to be successful in the face of relentless negativity from the #Media. That said, l am getting really tired of trying to justify some of #Starmer’s decisions. Protesting against genocide, and wilful destruction is neither anti semitic or pro Hamas. Get a fucking grip🤬
A gif of Met police carrying away and arresting an elderly woman today in Parliament square Shame on Labour for putting our police in this position
So just today there are reports of Knife crime down everywhere bar Greater Manchester (6-25%) And The number of asylum seekers in hotels is down from 50,000 (2023) to 34,000 today. Where is this reported. And why is it not reported?
The standing of the Jewish state is at an all-time low. With the history of the Jewish race over the centuries, how can they accept Gaza? Joseph Goebbels was right, repeat a lie often enough, over the generations, it will be believed. In the eyes of Jews Palastinians are unter-mensch.
This is excellent
Well worth your time.
Most wars have military fatality rates between the two sides at 2-1 or less. Israel v Gaza is at about 1-100. That's because it is not a war, it's a Genocide and it's civilians they are murdering.
What possesses #SkyNews to think that the appalling #JohnCraig is remotely competent as Political Editor. He is beyond dreadful. We deserve much better
WTF has to happen for #Starmer and other Leaders to get a backbone and, say that The Holocaust doesn’t give #Israel a free pass in perpetuity for any crimes they may commit. Waiting for #Trump is not a Policy when innocents are being slaughtered daily. This is an Historical watershed #gaza
Hey, UK media! Are you just going to let Farage dump another steaming pile of populist bullshit on us *without ever* properly scrutinising his ideas or him…his funding, his riots, his links to Putin and Trump, his Brexit shitshow, his grifting side gigs, his lies, his ignorance…? Call. Him. TF. Out.
The UN has a problem with democratic rule.
“Israel is in non-stop war crime status, in genocidal status, without shame, without remorse, without truth ... this is a murderous gang in government. They are zealots. They are not going to stop.” — Professor Jeffrey Sachs
#Gaza is a stain on all, so called, civilised Countries that are doing nothing to stop this daily slaughter
Why would #Labour want Diane Abbott in the Government. She is a hard line Corbyn supporter and, has spent the last 18 months flitting from studio to studio slagging off Starmer and everything the Government try to accomplish. There was a time when she was a good MP, that passed long ago
Full moon over Torbay
And, in line with recent Channel 4 News policy, spent at least 50% of the piece suggesting that the current Government had a lot of questions to answer. Since Labour came to power, Channel 4 News has totally lost its objectivity. Very disappointing, the Tories have enough cheerleaders as it is
When Federer was playing the English #Media never published anything but negative headlines about Djokovic. Now that they have a new ‘blue eyed boy’ in Alcaras they clearly intend to adopt the same practice for Sinner. The #Media has done more to damage this Country than any individual or Party
Well done Yannick Sinner. Alcaras is an outstanding player but, he needed this reality check as the fawning Media had succeeded in convincing him that he could walk on water. English Media have been desperately searching for somebody to take Federer’s role in their affection and biases #wimbledon
Jesus H Christ
BRITAIN 2025 COLLUSION IN GENOCIDE LEGAL PROTEST AGAIN GENOCIDE ILLEGAL TOTALLY WARPED PRIORITIES. Don’t tell me it’s complicated, IT’S NOT #gaza #labour #government #shame
I think that they are doing their best but, this is very funny
Sidmouth. Devon
Majdi Othman, a Palestinian father with a disability, bids farewell to his three children killed in an Israeli attack in Khan Younis, Gaza.
In Federer’s absence the British commentators have found a new hero to fawn over in Alcaras. So disrespectful to Siner and Djokovic, let alone Fritz. Pathetic
#wimbledon With a few notable exceptions, usually from Overseas, the commentators are appalling. The Male English contributors are in a dreadful league of their own. They ruin so many matches with their banal input. When the ball is in play, shut the hell up🤬
Sidmouth. Devon
Why is the appalling Chris Bradnam still being allowed to commentate on top tennis matches. His persistent psycho babble detracts from every contest. He is totally incapable of keeping quiet unlike McEnroe, Cash et al who respect the fact that it’s a visual sport and, doesn’t require constant input
I hope that there is a special place in Hell for #Netanyahu and his murderous gang
This Palestinian boy is comforting his younger siblings after they were injured in an Israeli attack that targeted a displacement shelter in Gaza City.
I’m still hopeful that the Covid Inquiry will finally hang him out to dry
👏🏻👏🏻 Amen to that
In one year, Nigel Farage received the most amount of ‘gifts’ of any MP in Westminster, just short of £100,000. Where’s the outrage from our media?
This year it feels more like the Farce of July.
Mark Petchey working wonders with Emma Radacanu. Sabalenca will be a big test
Yes, well done Mark Petchey. Just played her best tennis for years at Wimbledon 2026. Sabalenca will be the real test
And, who do we have to thank for that
An English Country Garden Oxfordshire
Benefits There has barely been any increase in the number of people claiming benefits if you take into account population growth, aging population, increase in morbidity & pension age rising so it include more people Not the narrative you hear in media obr.uk/wtr/welfare-...
Supporting your staff hey. That is pretty unusual over the past decade
When criticism of GENOCIDE is deemed outrageous but, the actual GENOCIDE itself is given a Free Pass on a daily basis, there is something seriously wrong with the moral compasses of the Government and the Media. #Gaza
But genocide is fine. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
I think that the Media and the Politicians seriously underestimate the Public anger about what’s been happening in #Gaza over the past 2 years. This should not be conflated with the Human Rights records of China & Saudi. This living hell is played out in our Living Rooms every day & it is genocide
#Channei4News A once excellent source of unbiased News has, over the past 12 months become a Fox News clone. What the hell has happened to them
U Turn (2025 Media definition) Any evidence of listening to others and being prepared to amend proposed Legislation. Over the past ten years the Media has become accustomed to catastrophic Tory decisions with Zero apologies and untold damage to the Country. This appears to be their pop preference
Means Testing is not popular but, l believe that it is essential if significant savings are to be made in the Welfare budget. The resources need to be much better directed and targeted. Too many ‘comfortable’ people are benefiting from a scheme intended to help the most needy #Welfare
Thr Government could save money on Welfare by examining the type of vehicles being routinely provided under the Motability Scheme. It is an excellent scheme and, the cost of converting cars is substantial but, l am not convinced that ‘Prestige’ cars l have seen are necessary to fulfill the needs
Exactly
Cult !
Their history apparently gives them a ‘Free Pass’ to do whatever they like, in perpetuity, without fear of serious condemnation or sanction. Future historians will write with incredulity about the complicity of the Western Governments that looked away while they wreaked indiscriminate carnage
This should make the world stop. Bosnia all over. Why is this different? New Israeli directive expedites ethnic cleansing of Masafer Yatta. The military order removes the last legal barriers to the wholesale displacement of 12 Palestinian villages in the West Bank. www.972mag.com/masafer-yatt...
Just watching #Politicslive where they are discussing ‘Imigrant Ghettos’ When the same thing happens overseas with Brits it is tweely referred to as ‘Ex Pat Communities’ who make little, or no, effort to learn the language or engage with the local community. More British hypocrisy
Here it is: I’ve seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."
Yes, that’s what l heard. Outstanding performance
I wish that l could remember the full quote - ‘shoulders and moons of Orion’ ring a bell. One of the classic death scenes of all time
Yes, l will go with Rutger
#Trump exaggerated the damage, who would have thought it. Master of the understatement usually.
Trump just said that both Israel & Iran “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.” He’s dead wrong. Netanyahu knows exactly what he’s doing. Netanyahu cannot afford a ceasefire… …any pause/calm and his ghosts (Gaza, corruption, bombing damage, costs, West Bank) will catch up with him.
Liars, damned liars, and fools.
I present to you the leader of the free world - Donald Trump... Trump says Israel and Iran ‘don’t know what the fuck they’re doing’ It's not even AI - this is real WTAF
Well, what a surprise. They are usually so sage and incorruptible
With no vested interest of course
There are some evil men in this World but #Netanyahu has proved without doubt that he is in a class of his own. Any Leader that doesn’t call him out is complicit
#Israel accuses #Iran of breaking the Cease Fire Agreement. Of course they do, they have no interest whatsoever in cessation of hostilities while they can inflict more death and damage with impunity. Netanyahu and his cronies will burn in hell for their lies and actions
Couldn’t make it up could you
