What we've got here is a failure to communicate

I worked as a cleaner in a factory with offices above. One day, an employee was rude to me about something that wasn't my issue. From that point onwards, I cleaned her mouse, keyboard and phone with the same cloths I used for the toilets.

Hear me out.

Instead of expecting 8 billion people to become experts from watching YouTube videos on every new infectious disease that emerges, what if we relied on people who study infectious diseases for a living?

We could even organize them into public health agencies that track outbreaks, analyze the evidence, forecast emerging risks, and translate complex science into clear, practical advice for everyone else.

@BladeoftheS Whole I agree with most of your posts and that the King and royal estate should pay for their own renovations, and that there is not significant social house building (or the skills left in the country to build them) the figures are incorrect. England spends in excess of £4bn p/a

On 23 June 2026, Britain marks ten years since the Brexit referendum. We were promised £350 million a week for the NHS. We were promised the easiest trade deals in history. We were promised sunlit uplands.

Research now shows the economy is 6-8% smaller, business investment fell 18% and 63% of us would vote to rejoin.

And you want to vote the man that hurt so many of our pockets and got us here? Vote tactically on the 7th of May. Stop Refrom. We deserve better. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧☕️🫖

Tunnock's is pretty much the only brand I can think of that hasn't engaged in enshittifaction. No change to recipe, shrinkflation, rebranding, change in packaging. I hope they're still going when all their competitors are fucked.

@MoSalah Thank you both for the memories. Loved the whole ride. May your next steps and the rest of your lives be filled with happiness YNWA

Tony Benn would have been 101 today.

His "Don't arab women weep when their children die, doesn't bombing strengthen their resolve?"

Is as relevant now as it was 25 years ago.

How can the BBC justify how much coverage they give other marches which are significantly smaller in size?

The bias is so obviously blatant.

BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.

Please share this far and wide...

"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.

"Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman."

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed."

"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.

“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”

Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.

Please like and share.

I’m slightly curious.

How can the government freeze & unfreeze £2.5bn from Roman Abramovich who isn’t a UK Passport Holder.

But yet can’t get a penny back from Michelle Mone & husband for defrauding the UK taxpayer, both are UK Passport Holders..

Weird isn’t it - like hell 🤣
