Racist bitch is screeching about child safety when she's off her tits with a drink in hand on national tv, abusing a man who's done nothing to her in front of the kids. That's the real face of Reform.

The only time I've had any interaction with an England flag, btw, was the World Cup in '98. Some twat chucked his pint up when England scored. It hit the ceiling & then started dripping down...including down the back of my neck. A kind lad gave me the flag to tuck round my neck to stay dry

Circling back to the one news story I’ve had the cognitive capacity to think about today and… So the big flashy “Border Force” operating out of Heathrow are now working in and on behalf of a major U.K. institution who are sponsoring the party essentially predicated on closing borders, doing racism

In a truly strange twist of fate, our three year old’s current favourite band is Radiohead and his current favourite song is Paranoid Android, and 15-30 year old me would have been delighted but from 30+ I didn’t listen to Radiohead much, so I don’t know where he’s got it from

NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

🇳🇱 KINDER NEWS♥️ Amsterdam is installing small wooden staircases along its canals after 19 cats drowned there in six months. The €100,000 project aims to help cats and other small animals safely climb out of the water, focusing on high-risk areas in collaboration with animal welfare groups.

If you just look at the language here. "Undeterred". This is a judgement of a Court of Appeal. Not a war against a common enemy. It's the small things that are eroding the rule of law in this country. And the Times has become a driving force in it.

Like to see this redone with specific social questions alongside the general "political views." MAGAs will never answer yes because they're playing victim but it'd be interesting to see what response "racist uncle who believes in underage marriage" would get from the non-cultists.
