We were promised 'cheaper food after Brexit'. It now costs £5 for a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk, £8 for a jar of Nescafe and £12 for a bottle of olive oil.

Christmas greetings from the Nordic Air Forces ⭐

This year, the 🇸🇪 invited 🇫🇮 and 🇩🇰 to join its Christmas tree flight over all three nations, while 🇳🇴 continued its iconic F-35 Christmas star

A festive salute from the air, and valuable precision-flying training for the crews

According to some accounts on this hell site, people of EU are really suffering under EU tyranny

It so happens that I just took a trip through not one, not two, but THREE EU countries

I thought that I will do a small thread to document my misery and suffering

Theres a very long list of US products that cannot be sold in the EU thanks to EU regulations. Since the favorite pastime of the Trump regime and every US oligarch is now to demonize EU regulations, I thought it would be very much worth going through some of those products.🧵

Last month, we launched a challenge to design and name a watermelon flavor for Palestine. Your response has been amazing.

But did you catch @MagnumIceCream response to the reports that they’d blocked Ben & Jerry’s from developing a flavor for a cease fire in Gaza. 

They told @guardian it was “not the right time” to make the flavor. Back in 2024, thousands of civilians were being killed every day

“Not the right time” ?

@MagnumIceCream says it will protect the Ben & Jerry’s social mission, but the cracks are showing.

🍉 Keep sending in your designs and names for the watermelon flavor
🍉 Share this post with the tags #FreeBenandJerrys and #JusticeforPalestine
🍉Tag @MagnumIceCream to let them know we won’t be silenced

Just a month later and...

🇪🇺 ChatControl is back!

Now they're trying to pass an even more far reaching ChatControl law through the back door, in a form even more intrusive than the originally rejected plan, without needing any of the EU countries votes

The new proposal:
- total mandatory surveillance of ALL text chats, emails and social media in the EU
- obligatory registration of your ID/passport to your chat, email or social media account
- minimum age requirement for chat, email and social media apps of 16 (!)

The only way to stop this law is if EU countries veto it

The creators of ‘K-Pop Demon Hunters’ have rejected the idea of creating a live-action movie:

“There’s so many elements of the tone and the comedy that are so suited for animation, It’s really hard to imagine these characters in a live action world.”

the people of Gaza has witnessed the most barbaric genøcide of the modern history.

Oli Dugmore, "Is Nigel Farage a fascist?"

"Trying to define fascism is like trying to nail jelly to a wall"

"But I would certainly say that if you are advancing a policy program that involves the militarised mass expulsion of an ethnic minority background. That is a component part of fascism"

Victoria Derbyshire, "Militarised?"

Oli Dugmore, "How else are you going to fly 100,000 people a year? How will you round them up? Will the police do that? I don't think they can"

"Are you going to put them on charter flights? Airlines won't take them, so you'll probably use the RAF"

"Where are you going to hold them?"

"Look at what ICE is doing in America as the sort blueprint for this mechanism. They hide their faces, armed to their teeth"

"They look like a militia to me"

Under the last Tory Govt, elected in 2019, of 42 Manifesto Pledges, only 2 were delivered.

In 5 years.

Under the current Labour Govt, elected in 2024, of 83 Manifesto Pledges, 57 are delivered (18), on track (19), or in process (20).

In 1 year.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.
