Indeed. A post yesterday debunked three images from the past "confirming" he's alive and well now.
When was he last seen on a golf course? A sure sign he's unwell or dead if he hasn't played for a week.
A claim made by f/wits who want an algorithm to populate their feed, rather than curating their own.
The term of ‘illegal migrant’ has been nurtured and the media repeat it as fact. It’s designed to whip up hate & dehumanise - there needs to be a pushback Seeking asylum is legal & has been for 74 years, since the UK signed the UN Convention on Asylum Seekers in 1951 @northeastbylines.co.uk
Just before schools go back the town's caffs are full of noisy families who seem to have had enough of their own kids and I've turned my hearing aids off. There are advantages to being a bit mutton.
AI would probably be better than r4today presenters.
Talking to a mate in the games industry. “All that Gen AI stuff? It’s a passing fad, and we’re, most of us, steering well clear.” If anyone understands AI it’s the games business. It’s why the ghosts chase Pac Man. They’ve been in this for way longer than any of us. And they know it’s bullshit.
It's better without music.
After Brexit, the right wing loonies want to leave the ECHR? Give it another 20 years and they'll want to leave the human race. Oh, no, wait, they already have.
I'm disappointed that the Met Office appears to have rejected my suggestion that storms are named after oil companies. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...
Cars which park on pavements and block the footpath are causing obstruction which the police can prosecute BUT NEVER DO. Explain that #bbcbreakfast
Good morning on Day 1286. As September begins, it becomes the 44th month in which Russia has waged its unprovoked war on Ukraine. Here I document all the major twists and turns as Ukraine fights for its very existence. Welcome to THE daily thread:
Farmers want more cops to provide security for their farms. The gob on a stick is the NFU county chair? No surprise there then. Maybe spend your NFU money on more security than give it to the idiots who told you Brexit was a great idea.
It's been legal to claim asylum in the UK since 1951. Chris 'punchable' Philp should be ashamed of always describing them as 'illegal immigrants' particularly the likes of the Afghan interpreters Tory incompetence abandoned on a runway. Despicable cunt.

The BBC's Harry Farley needs to do some more research into Angela Rayner's flat purchase because, at the moment, he's making the BBC look as stupid as the Telegraph.
It’s odd that the Tory councils took no action against asylum hotels when their party was in power in Westminster but waited until there was a Labour government. #r4today

The shadow home secretary should read the judgement and stop spouting nonsense.

This is what you want at mini roundabouts. Moretonhampstead Carnival, Moretonhampstead, Devon. By the standards of a Devon and Somerset carnival, this is sane! bsky.app/profile/only...
The appeal court says the Labour government are allowed to continue using Tory Migrant Hotels for the time being and the fash are losing their sh1t. Maybe have a word with people like Jenrick who had to set them up because his government was deliberately ignoring asylum applications. 🙄
I was just reading elsewhere that I can pay X £30 a month and have access to Grok's ability to create celeb porn so is Italy going to be blocking X?
One of the reasons Thunderbolts* is, at last, a much better movie than all the earlier stuff is that the Avengers and X-Men aren't in it so obviously, Kevin Feige wants to bring them back. 🙄 www.theguardian.com/film/2025/au...

They should all come down. Most seem to be in the eyeline of motorists or HGV drivers.
On BBC news earlier they were explaining how the UK is adding chicken pox to the MMR now MMRV vaccine. In an adjacent panel they reported how RFKj's deputy will run the CDC. Ruin not run. The clueless twat knows less about science than a brick does.
Gang Of Pedophiles There should be a sweepstake for how many GOP are on Epstein's video collection.
Please, can we refer to them all as "Tory Migrant Hotels". It wasn't the current government which deliberately caused a huge backlog of asylum applications and had to start using masses of hotels. They're trying to fix another thing wrecked by Conservatives. Racist fuckwits have very short memories.
AMERICA: “It’s a mental health issue.” REST OF THE WORLD: “We have those. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA: “It’s video games.” WORLD: “We have those too. But don’t have mass shootings.” AMERICA B: “It’s cause they took Jesus out of the classroom.” WORLD: “God, you’re stupid. It's guns.”
If your media website makes me delete four pop-ups every time I visit, I'm less likely to visit. MSNBC, I am looking at you.
I believe the bin-bag of custard fired all the moderate Tories which is why what's left couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.
It was Arthur and MacOS which changed the way we used computers. Then Windows95 copied them. If British companies hadn't saddled themselves with US PC hardware and MSDOS they would never have adopted Windows 3 and then Win95. BBC breakfast's expert is a child.

#FBPE is not a generic tag; it's the official name of our pro-European movement, as reflected in our website www.fbpe.eu and our blog blog.fbpe.eu. Our movement promotes democratic values and opposes hatred, racism, and extremism. Those who use this name or hashtag publicly support these goals.
All served by the same junk tanks.

Whoa! Weather is breaking up the TV signal. The top of Belmont is probably in a cloud.
We have a planet. We have an atmosphere around it. We are fucking it up. We need to stop it. Thanks.
Does he abuse alcohol? It would explain a lot.
Two children killed in the US because of Russia-influenced gun policy. Four children killed in Ukraine thanks to US foreign policy, influenced by Russia. Tr**p isn't just useless, he's a traitor.
The child-killer strikes again in Kiev. Would the BBC's Farage Fan Club please ask him if he still admires Putin.
We should be calling them 'Tory Asylum Hotels'.
We've banned people from harassing women outside abortion clinics. We should do the same for hotels used by asylum seekers.
The DUP falsely claims that the withdrawal agreement breached the Good Friday Agreement - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... In fact (as the BBC fails to mention) this claim was rejected by every judge in three courts, up to the UK Supreme Court - supremecourt.uk/uploads/uksc...
Same. Can't stand that Michael O'Bleary.
#BREAKING | Hostage families in an announcement: "Turns out our big protests are not enough We are tired of this, we are done. In 19:00 (1 hour) we will announce an escalation of the struggle Be with us." MK Gilad Kariv from The Democrats: "we are behind you"
We can start with Reform and the editorial team from the Times, the Telegraph, the Mail and BBC Politics. No sieve required. Simply deport them all. I'm sure they've all wanted to retire to Afghanistan.
Good morning world! It's Day 1281, so it must be thread number 1281 (4205 since the start of the Crimea invasion) Every day documenting the news, without gratuitous gore, and the war crimes as Russia continues its unprovoked all-out war against a sovereign neighbour.
Did you vote for your local MP? How many of your local constituents are represented by your MP? Find out with this tool from @makevotesmatter.bsky.social... makevotesmatter.org.uk/democracyome...
Hello again, it's Day 1280 and Russia still doesn't seem near ready to end its war on Ukraine. Probably because it's pretty much an utter failure. This is THE daily thread, with all the important news every single day. Thanks for reading and supporting.
A word on immigration. Don't prejudge this, just listen to the data, and then consider what the solution is. The UK has a falling birth rate. This means that - unless things change - each generation will be 25% smaller than the one before.
Europe lost respect for the US when they elected Tr**p the first time. Then Biden repaired it, to a degree, but Tr**p's reappearance has flushed it down the toilet. What the fuck is wrong with you, America?
Did anyone explain to the muppet that, whichever way the wind is blowing, they switch runways at 1pm each day?
An incredible, revelatory intervention by my friend Dr Tarek Loubani. Humane, scathing, courageous. Watch it and share and be enraged.
100% this The Labour Party has lost its way.
The dope will be administering Ivermectin. The last time I saw that used was in a documentary about a safari park who were giving it to some animals to counter parasites.
Where "hard working British people" means pissed up coke heads with a 60% chance of having a criminal record, a 40% chance of being wife beaters and the IQ of a pigeon.
The 🦇💩🤪🟠👨👶 says what?
The same administration that complains about free speech "restrictions" in the UK also wants to "terminate" broadcasting it disagrees with in the USA
White Supremacists are ridiculous.
Oh yes!
That's two lists they need to show us. 1. the list of wars Tr**p has stopped 2. the names of the men who raped children with Epstein's help
Gonna start a rumour that this a hotel for asylum seekers

Friends! It’s Ron v The Camper Van… and I’m not sure who is winning. Mum didn’t understand why she was finding the Camper Van all over the house (even in the kitchen) until she realised Ron was going crazy with it and throwing it around. Here’s a sample! It’s #SundayFunday
Day 1279 and still going☺️ Honest, fair coverage of Russia's war on Ukraine continues. A new week begins - the 184th week of Moscow's full invasion, determined to stop Ukraine having a vote, a voice, or existing. Here's the daily thread..
Take one 2L plastic bottle, a soldering iron, four wooden kebab skewers, a glue gun, 2L of black sunflower seeds. Triggered exposures over one hour. And yes, it can be emptied in one day.

Farridge, the Oligarchs and Tories in control of our media are desperate for riots in the UK and they have only this week before the schools go back. Not sure they'll achieve it this year; frog-face is off to the US to fellate Republicans and oil companies.
Hitler negotiated with a bullet?
RNID and Tinnitus advocate on #bbcbreakfast My ears: fsssssssssssssssssssdddweee [Dons NHS hearing aids] Protect your hearing, kids.
This is just getting ridiculous. Nothing that has happened (or is reported below the headline to have happened) this weekend remotely justifies talk of an explosion or mass protests. The media are confecting a crisis, and, in some sections of it, hoping to provoke one. 1/3
They should make do with a semi-detached house in Harrow. It's good enough for North Korea.
The good thing about flag-shagging 'patriots' is that they are so monumentally thick that they film themselves committing racially aggravated criminal damage and post it on the internet, making it nice and easy for the police to find them.
It's economic illiteracy no matter how "serious" you think they may be.
The thing that shocks me is that people are still reading the Telegraph.
The refugee protests are really against Reform and The Tories and they don't even realise. Farridge's Brexit caused the small boats and the Tories stuffed them into hotels instead of dealing with them. And yet, these same dimwits are protesting alongside the demented thugs. Fucksake.
Gen Z lack critical thinking skills if they're falling for any religion
Food critic😍
This latest spasm of racism, protests, flags, ‘legitimate concerns’, ‘political prisoner’ bullshit is the ugly hangover of a Brexit that failed to deliver the social change it promised because it was all a lie. Now, instead of facing up to that, we get more lies, more hatred. It can only ever fail.
Forgive us.
I've always been sceptical of 'sunlight is the best disinfectant', but I looked it up and apparently it is healthier to hang laundry outside. So maybe that is what we should do with fascists.
True story 🤣
Nasty classist tripe. To infer all working class people are anti immigration is as grotesque as it is incorrect. Farage and Tice are the main cheerleaders for anti-immigration and couldn’t be any less working class.
Of course Tr**p needs the White House to have a ballroom. Where else is he going to relaunch his beauty pageants for young teenage girls? If he pardons Maxwell, he'll have someone to run it. Aunt Ghislaine.
The mafia's most expensive brothel.
People convicted and imprisoned for saying or writing things that stir up racial hatred. • Abu Hamza • Abdullah el-Faisal • Lucy Connolly Guess which conviction made the right wing suddenly decide writing or saying things that stir up hatred is okay, actually.
Some light reading for Lucy Connelly.
