Every week, without fail.
Every week, without fail.
I noticed this in Tesco earlier. Loads of small boat stuff everywhere. Gets earlier every year. Kids aren't even back at school yet. Shocking.
*whispers* international wealth inequality is the reason for small boats
That and after effects of the UK hand-in-hand with the US bombing the crap out of Syria, Libya and other impoverished countries.
Like Nazi Week and Shark Week on Discovery........ 🙄
I find myself sincerely hoping that the warning on that email says "CAUTION: This email originates from a hyper-capitalist publisher that does not care about facts."
I am so fed up with the MSM constantly talking about small boats. It is literally ridiculous and an instant turn off as far as I am concerned.
I'd like to see it be tell the truth week. That would be novel.
Or Billionaires are ruining the planet week?
At the moment, the planet is only killing off about one of them a year. We need to explain to her that she needs to SCALE.
Its been "Small Boats Decade", but i guess this is what they call, "impartial" journalism too, The media and most elites in this country are profoundly obsessed, dangerous to boot, but nowhere in sight is there a pushback by regulators. Its a deluge of scaremongering 24/7
When is it big boats week or medium boats week?
When the Orcas swim into town.
The owner of The Times never wants it to be wealth inequality week. Doesn't want people talking about applying a 15% surcharge to interest, dividend, rental &, the like income.
As Professor Murphy writes, "Until 1985 we had an Investment Income Surcharge, was paid at 15% on income from investment sources above a set limit." eastangliabylines.co.uk/business/eco...
being subscribed to the times politics email surely must count as self harm.
The Germans have a fantastic word for that (don't they always): "Nebenkriegsschauplatz", literally "secondary theater of war", i.e. creating a meanigless distraction.
It is much easier for the owners of the British MSM to punch down than punch up; change the narrative to asylum seekers and let the public believe that if the rich was taxed more they'd leave. There are some wealthy people who don't mind being taxed. millionairesforhumanity.org/the-milliona...
Usually combined with sharks and Hitler.
It’s even more regular than mental health awareness week on Facebook
Farage Riots 2025. Divisive rhetoric and racist lies. This is all these greedy, self serving people have to offer because they need to deflect attention and scrutiny away from their corruption, wealthy right wing investors, fossil fuel donors, misuse/theft of public funds and senseless policies.
And for the criminal records of domestic abuse and sexual assault among the violent members of their base.
The fact that we spend far too much time on this subject and ignoring other subjects is disturbing. We have so many other problems that if used half as much energy on as we do on small boats etc... we could perhaps do something useful
Farage's version of "Build the wall". Catchy slogans hmm.
FFS for a moment I thought it was a follow-up to the Tall Ships week. (I'm not in Britain)
You will get a brief respite in a week or so when the news is university is rubbish, ‘I didn’t go to university and I am a high paid commentator for the Telegraph’ university is full of thick poor people on EDI admissions or A levels are not as hard as in my day. Then we can get back to small boats👆
The demonisation of migrants will never end until we have a government that refuses to pander to racist bigots & criminal thugs. No sign of that so far, sadly.
Nah. It will end when we have a far right Government that stokes and feeds off those prejudices, in the most brutal and counter productive way. It's coming, brace.
Every week is Look Over There week.
Going by comments on any ReachPLC post on Facebook, where the small boats live rent free, "small boats week" occurs 52 times a year.
Spot on Zoe I mean, they talk about all the time, because it is what the people who still buy that paper want to talk about all the time
It’s what the owners of the paper want the people who buy the paper to be talking about all the time
Truly depressing. They really are doing their level best to pit one against the other. Eventually it will stop working though...always does.
I find this concept of “small boats week” deeply unpatriotic.
Keep on smashing the small boats button til it stops being a hit.
When the actual elite does not have total dominance over the entire media/political nexus?
End of never On both
just like last week, and next week and the week after that too.
I'm thrilled. I'm getting mine out later. See you all soon.😀
It's Groundhog Day but for racism and the lead is that Small Boats Reporter BBC guy
Every mainstream news channel everyday. It's as though nothing is happening outside their bubble.
Orca —> Yacht week when?
Farage can smell blood in the water and traditional media are loving his “content”. Right up to rioting and lynching, it appears…
It’s always small boat week 😭 Sadly it's the most effective piece of marketing ever:
When it’s ’time to prosecute all those companies who ripped off the taxpayer for PPE that was shit or never turned up’ week?
By my reckoning it's been small boats week for roughly 10 years at least now.
The famous British obsession with small boats: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlER...
What a shame this isn't about rowing, or sailing dinghys. Finally the coverage Sir Ben Ainslie was campaigning for
I was writing out a reply to this and accidentally wrote "small boars week" and we should have that instead
As a green activist, I have been lobbying for small boars week for a decade or so now.
Like the antipode of fat bear week! (and hopefully with less cannibalism)
The sooner we realise that this has become a major issue for millions of ppl the better it'll be , mocking their concerns will just harden their resolve Just take a look at MAGA and how they gained control, discussions have to happen and we have to be more open to their misconceived concerns 
Because the BBC has been run by the far right for the past decade and a half which is why they gave their undying support to Farage when he was an MEP, then to Brexit, then to Johnson, now Reform. They havent been impartial for yonks.
I cannot listen to, or watch any BBC programme which promotes right wing propaganda & views. There's no disguising their bias, still stuffed full of Tories: Davie, Bruce, Gibb, Kuenssberg, Mason, Robinson & others - this is also why BBC offer a daily dose of Fake Farage, most frequent guest on BBCQT
They also constantly platform the Tufton St mob without pointing out that the Tax Payers' Alliance does NOT represent tax payers, or that the the Instituted For Economic Affairs is just RW think-tank funded by dark money rather than some august wing of academia. Disgusting.
I am furious that as a tax payer (for over 50 years) I am in some people’s eyes likely to be part of, or in favour of. the ‘Tax Payers Alliance’. NOT IN MY NAME!

Another RW stooge posing as a journalist
Mason is the Uriah Heep of political commentators and it is shameful that he is allowed to get away with such snide, unprofessional, sometimes completely untruthful *journalism*
He even looks like Uriah Heep. He’s a snivelling little worm.
Very true
History will judge this anti-refugee period very badly.
Small boats helped scupper the Spanish Amada and helped evacuate Dunkirk, so they must be worth celebrating
The only time it should be small boats week is sometime in April. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boa...
Stop small boats! Give them bigger boats instead.
Is it when it's legitimate concerns week? #bbcpm seems to be excusing race riots tonight.
