Racism was rife and casual in the area of rural Britain I lived in for 11/12 years I know this mainly because racist numpties regularly assumed that I'm racist too because I'm white and I'd share their ignorant views or wouldn't have a problem with them being racist around me. It was everywhere.
No. More's the pity.
That's very public spirited of you 🙂 I rarely go to Tesco but I'd imagine they only sell them online if they know what's good for them.
🤣 Brilliant! They probably wrote it the day entered the leadership race just in case.
As if by magic! Sarah Montague R4 World at One. 1st question: "Would you form an alliance with Jeremy Corbyn?" A: "Way too early to talk about alliances and that's a membership decision anyway" 2nd question: "So how would a deal with Corbyn work?" A: "Way too early to talk..." etc FFS! 😡
Bye then 👋 #MakeTheCotswoldsGreatAgain
I did see that. I was going to write one myself saying that I'm happy with my Nigel overall but he leans a little to right.
Good morning, Beverly 🙂
Someone told me about this and I thought it was a wind-up. It isn't. Won't be going to Tesco anytime soon if they're making money selling cut-outs of prominent racists. "Every little shit helps"
@stewardship.bsky.social He's alright!
🤣
Great stuff. What are your thoughts on the deputies, Mothin and Rachel?
Already seeing the media linking him with what they believe to be the toxicity of Corbyn as the early attempts at Dangerous Commie by Association begin the hatchet job roll-out Gay/vegan/woke/tree hugger/baby eater to follow soon. Our media is so predictably shit.
My former partner's child needs the taxi service as the only SEND school place is miles away. It's not because her mother wants to lie in in the mornings. This 'policy' was announced on R4 World at One yesterday in the headlines. No context or further comment or what other parties would do.
@sarahphilpott123.bsky.social
Congratulations @mothinali.bsky.social Great result 👏
👏
Yes but think how long it will take to paint on roundabouts? 😉 I love this idea.
Huge congratulations to @zackpolanski.bsky.social elected as the next Leader of @greenparty.org.uk 👏👏 Greens are on the up. We have already achieved so much, but there is more to be done offering a true alternative to this dire version of Labour. Let’s get to it! 💚
Already seen some of the 'gay, vegan and woke Lefty' stuff. I've also noticed that asking him if he'll form a coalition with Corbyn has become a standard question (especially on the BBC) and no doubt as a means of generating 'dangerous Commie' associations. Same old same old.
Great stuff. RW media hatchet jobs arrive tomorrow, I should think? Good 👍
👏
BBC News - Zack Polanski elected leader of the Green Party www.bbc.com/news/article... #BackZack Congratulations @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Why? What for?
I heard UK government will be sending aid after first obtaining assurances that none will benefit the Taliban. They have to say that to fend off the inevitable gammony objections to helping desperate people. Even though Gammon-in-Chief, Farage, wants to hand them money for migrants? Strange times.
Linehan's still moaning about not being able to be a hateful, transphobic bigot like you could be in the good old days. Starmer just appointed a former trustee of an anti-trans activist group as a comms director so Linehan's allegation that the UK is being run by trans activists is also garbage.
Really? I'd forgotten how good it is. I have little, pernickity moans about it here and there but they don't detract. A fantastic film. And John Barry's music ❤️ So, I have to ask... what's your number one choice?
www.theguardian.com/film/2025/se... This is sad. I recently re-watched Dances with Wolves for the first time since it was released and was reminded of just how good his performance as Kicking Bird was. A lovely guy too, by all accounts. RIP
Again? How many days are they giving him this time? 🥱
Yes. She's a glimmer of journalistic light at the Beeb.
Rees-Mogg lied to the Queen. Lying is what and who he is. His entire career as a politician has been sustained on lies and falsehoods.
Prepping for today's press conference...
I kind of get the boneheads absorbing clickbait and lies like unquestioning sponges. But the almost complete failure of the media to hold these frauds to account and expose their hypocrisy is disgraceful. Nowhere is fossil fuel funding for Reform or the Tories highlighted in MSM. Nowhere.
Not even that good. A joke. A clown.
Remember when she claimed to have struck a trade deal with Canada and the Canadians said "No, you haven't"? Dear, oh dear 😔
Don't threaten us with a good time!
Just so embarrassing. The US White House straight out lying. He corrupts and destroys everything.
Oil markets are governed by global prices. Extracting dwindling North Sea oil will make NO DIFFERENCE to energy prices in the UK. NSO extraction peaked 1999/2000 and are estimated gone by 2050. It won't sustain any meaningful energy policy. Ask her... how much fossil fuel 💸 💰 goes to the Tories?
She was also firmly pro-net zero until the fossil fuel lobby donations started coming in and Reform stole her meagre thunder. Will the Tories be electing a leader any time soon?
Today's the day! #BackZack #TheGreenParty #Greens
That's beautiful. Thank you.
Transphobic cvnt
@hollybrigstocke.bsky.social Have you seen this unapologetically hostile shit?
What a beautiful sentiment. Both lovely and profound. What a fella Grandpa must have been.
Beautiful. I always think owls have real character.
She's not the most inspiring speaker tbh. She doesn't really need to be, I guess, but even so.
Of course he is. He's "horrified".
Even their merch is fraudulent.
Almost by the minute today.
Really? You don't don't make sure that wherever you're sat in your home there's a flag directly in front of you? Like normal people normally do? Couldn't make this up. You just couldn't.
Oh, nice. Really nice. Lovely. Great.
They love it really!
Wow! Someone at the FT's not a fan of KemiKaze.
I have heard about this a few times today. Not as often as I have about hotels and boats and flags and fashy shit of course. Or Tice this and Farage that. But I have heard about it. There's hope yet.
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s... This is fantastic news. A hugely successful conservation project. And "maintaining natural protected areas where jaguars can roam freely" demonstrates the crucial factor in these projects succeeding... habitat preservation. We can do good when we want to.
🙈
My toes just curled so much that I now look like I'm wearing Aladdin's slippers.
They should have started exposing Farage's lies and failures immediately after the election. They should be constantly calling out the ongoing damage to the UK caused by his Brexit and its impact on irregular immigration - no Dublin Agreement, etc. They *should* be doing something. Anything. Now!
Good call!
Nothing say's concern for your children and community like violently assaulting the police.
Once he becomes the first Labour leader to lose Wales in next year's Senedd elections, things will start to change. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
As a former Tory MP, I wonder if he includes Sunak and all Tories of colour as 'Abdul'? Disgusting racist pig.
One meagre nugget of positivity is that I'm hearing people inaccurately using this term being picked up on it more frequently now. Matthew Wright always does on his LBC show, as do a couple of others on that station. CH4 News frequently do. I've largely given up on the BBC.
I follow @labourlewis.bsky.social and @richardburgon.bsky.social (Lab) and Ed Davey. I follow Natalie Bennett and Jenny Jones (Grn) in the Lords and Zack Polanski and other prominent Greens who aren't MPs.
Wow! The mind of a Tory/Ukip MP as found floating turd-like down the sewer of X. No holds barred racist incitement. #DouglasCarswell
"Raise her case"? What does that mean. The 'case' was that she incited hatred, pleaded guilty to doing so and went to prison for it. She's not a prisoner of conscience. She's not Nelson Mandela FFS! Make no mistake - Farage is looking to sell this country out to foreign wealth and oligarchy.
That's going to have a massive impact on the Championship, isn't it? Could be a good ending here but I can't see Max taking Oscar. Hadjar, Russell and Albon all in that following mix. And Bearman smashing it too.
Speeding in the pit lane. This is the best Zandvoort in yonks. Hadjar still in fourth. Charles sat on a sand mound watching the race.
Yeah... it's pretty good. Great footage of the Charles/Kimi incident.
That was pretty shoddy of Kimi. He almost drove into him. Leclerc moaning that his stop was unnecessary anyway. Wouldn't be the first time they've stuffed it! And Monza next.
Like something from Stalinist Russia.
Ha ha... yes. Leclerc would cut his grandmother's throat for a position. Great stuff!
It will. Already done for Lewis on the paint. Very impressed with Hadjar yesterday and today. I'm jinxing Piastri by predicting it's his today.
I am. And posting here. Multi-tasking.
I just can't take her seriously. This is nothing to do with sensible energy policy. It's all about trying to match Reform's anti-net zero red meat (good luck with that), repaying the fossil fuel lobby donations and grabbing a headline. That's all her clickbait 'leadership' amounts to.
Because the RW press is largely foreign-based wealth owned, paying either very little or zero tax in the UK. Scapegoating those who most need help and portraying them as free-loading scum suits their agenda. That's why offshore-funded Farage is their golden boy.
This is great. I remember similar projects in Levenshulme and Preston way back when I lived up that way. There was an inspirational docu-film about a guy in a gang and crime-ridden part of LA who started transforming waste areas in the neighbourhood into cultivated spaces. I'll have a look for it.
I don't know tbh. I never watch it.
The BBC's journalism standards are falling off a cliff. As for former net zero advocate, Kemi... her conversion couldn't be anything to do with money could it? bsky.app/profile/writ...
It's amazing how a fossil fuel lobby donation to your dwindling party funds can impact upon your profound convictions... www.desmog.com/2025/02/28/k...
🤣 🤡 It's so pathetically transparent. You barely have to scratch the surface. It's that she expects people to take her seriously that is so excruciatingly embarrassing.
Ain't that the truth 🙏
The Tory Party is a dying star. We're seeing its dwindling fuel being exhausted in desperate, gasping spasms, this latest one funded by Tufton St. fossil fuel lobby donations. Soon, it'll collapse, implode and go supernova and become a memory in a changed universe.
Precisely. A completely vacuous gesture. I only hope there are journalists left somewhere in the UK media who might point out she was fully behind net zero until she received donations from the fossil fuel lobby.
I'm impressed. Agree with you on chips. French fries are a feeble substitute. The Gods invented mash.
Evidence and thought don't figure in this though, do they? It steals some Reform anti-net zero thunder (good luck with that) and payback for the Tufton St. fossil fuel lobby donations. Unless she really does believe finite resources aren't disappearing fast enough?
I'm guessing this falls into the latter group? Cleaner on the inside though, yeah?
BBC News - Tories pledge to get all oil and gas out of North Sea www.bbc.com/news/article... Another day, another vacuous, attention-seeking gesture. God, this woman is really, really stupid.
One of your regular haunts, Suz? 😉
Snowflakes.
I really do hope that if, as recently reported, little Marco Rubio asked the UK government for their assistance in possible military intervention in Venezuela they told him to fvck off in no uncertain terms.
#JSO
And now everyone walks all over you?
But any PL club would think nothing of doing the same. It's not just Chelsea. I had a season ticket at Highbury for umpteen years and they'd happily do exactly the same. The PL is not a healthy place.
@sarahphilpott123.bsky.social Wow! I didn't even know Ranvir was on LBC. Here with @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social Remember back in the day in Preston when we used to see her on North West Tonight with Gordon Burns and Tony Livesey? Good to see she's still cutting it.
news.sky.com/story/sir-ke... Really? This is his answer to the fascist narrative? "If you cross the Channel illegally you will be detained and sent back". Crossing the Channel isn't illegal. He knows this. Sent back where? France? Country of origin? Narnia? We're screwed.
No journalist asks him about the impact of leaving the ECHR on the Good Friday Agreement. No journalist points out to him that he claimed leaving the EU and free movement would see immigration tumble and the exact opposite has happened. So why should he be trusted a second time? Free Ride Farage.
