I think for next year’s Eurovision we should submit the song from the Pepto Bismol ad. Maybe slow it down to a ballad and throw in a key change, see if that gets us any votes.
Don’t understand why the right are attacking the green MP re alcohol
Yes she’s a hypocrite because of the greens pro heroin policies
But - in most jobs in Britain - if you were drinking on the job - you would be sacked.
Of course our law makers shouldn’t be shitfaced whilst voting.
Tony Blair has criticised the British government for not joining in the war in the Middle East, in the surest sign yet Keir Starmer might be doing the right thing
Donald Trump- “This isn’t Churchill we’re dealing with.”
You’re right. It isn’t.
Britain declared war on Nazi Germany in September 1939. For nearly two years before America entered the conflict after Pearl Harbor, Britain and the Commonwealth stood virtually alone against Hitler.
London burned in the Blitz. Coventry was flattened. Families slept in Underground stations not knowing if their homes would survive the night.
And it wasn’t just Britain.
2.5 million volunteers from the Indian subcontinent, the largest volunteer army in history.
Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders.
Hundreds of thousands from Africa and the Caribbean.
They fought from 1939, in North Africa, in the Atlantic, in Italy, in Burma long before the United States entered the European war.
When America did enter, it became decisive but after victory, Britain was financially exhausted.
In 1946, we borrowed $3.75 billion from the United States and $1.19 billion from Canada to rebuild a country that had poured everything into defeating fascism.
And we honoured that debt.
With interest, Britain repaid around $7.5 billion to America and about $2 billion to Canada nearly $10 billion in total.
The final payment was made in December 2006.
Sixty years after the war ended, Britain was still paying back what it owed.
So yes, this isn’t Churchill’s war.
But Britain still remembers what standing first looks like.
amazing to think we likely won't see another simultaneous lent, chinese new year, ramadan and disgraced member of the british royal family being arrested in our lifetime
For context, I believe annual rate of inflation ending Dec 2025 is 4.18% (RPI).
This is a 0.88% pay cut for circa 1.4m hardworking NHS workers, and not to be celebrated.
It’s “women should get to choose what they do with their own bodies” until a woman decides to become a surrogate and the internet goes into psychosis over it
People have gotten way too relaxed about drinking and driving.
You. Are. Going. To. Kill. Someone.
Just because you are fine with playing loose with your own life doesnt mean you get to do that with the lives of others.
