Call me old fashioned but I don’t think that a man, who raped girls that were trafficked in a global elite paedophile ring, should have fucking SERVANTS.

Ironically if I said what should happen to him I’d be arrested, yet the Met refused to investigate his crimes.

It’s important that you watch this and hear what Peter Thiel really thinks - because he is a f**king danger.

Wanna know the bad news?

He’s got his dirty fingers in our NHS.

Zia Yussef was a Tory

Jenkins was a Tory

66% of Reform councilors defected from the Tories

Tesla doesn't recongise Trade Unions.

Apple doesn't recognise unions.

Amazon is anti-union.

McDonald's is anti-union.

Starbucks is anti-union.

Google is anti-union.

Walmart is anti-union.

These mega businesses are not on your side.

@DonaldJTrumpJr So the other 46,700 shootings were straight people. It’s almost like being trans isn’t the problem.

I always thought Eric was the dumber of the two, but Junior is making a pretty good case for being the Idiot Son.

@DonaldJTrumpJr Mass shootings aren’t about gender identity they’re about easy access to military style weapons. Stop blaming communities, start fixing laws.

Real horror isn’t a chainsaw, it’s a quiet 5-4 vote: every time the Court rubber-stamps Trump, another clause of the Constitution disappears. (Jump scare: the lights are on, but oversight isn’t.)

Your 4/8/25 tariff post drew 1.4 M views and economists now peg recession odds “very high.” Instead of course-correcting, the admin fired the EPA IG who flagged their failures, revived Schedule F to swap experts for loyalists, and sells $5 M Mar-a-Lago dinners while 20 crypto-rich aides write rules they profit from. That’s not governance, it’s graft on autoplay.

GOP, scrap the sequel—pick country over kickbacks before the end credits roll on the republic.

I found this on LinkedIn…

Excerpts from The Times of London.
Someone asked, "Why don't some Britons like Donald Trump?"
Nate White, an eloquent and witty English writer, wrote this magnificent response:
Trump lacks certain qualities that the British traditionally value.
He has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honor, and no grace—qualities, oddly enough, with which his predecessor, Mr. Obama, was generously endowed.
While Trump may be ridiculous, he has never said anything ironic, amusing, or even mildly funny—not once, ever. I don't mean this rhetorically, I mean it literally: never. To British sensibilities a lack of humor is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is—to him, a joke is a crude comment, an illiterate insult, an act of casual cruelty.
Trump is like a troll, he's never funny or laughs; he just squeals with delight or mockery.
And the scary thing is, he doesn't just utter crude and stupid insults: he actually thinks while he uses them. His mind is a mere robotic algorithm of petty prejudices and instinctive nastiness.
There is never an underlying layer of irony, complexity, nuance, or depth. It's all superficial. We see him as lacking an inner world, a soul.
In Britain, we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky outsiders: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist.
Trump is neither plucky nor an outsider. He's the opposite.
He's not even a spoiled rich boy, nor a greedy fat cat.
He's more of a big white slug, a privileged Jabba the Hutt.
And worse, he's a bully.
When he finds himself in the midst of bullies; in that case, he suddenly transforms into a sniveling sidekick.
He strikes downwards—something a gentleman should not, could not, and should never do—and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly enjoys hitting the vulnerable or the voiceless—and he hits them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority—perhaps a third—of Americans watch what he does, listen to what he says, and then think, “Yes, he seems like my kind of guy” is a source of confusion and great distress to the British.
After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him utter a sentence or two, without staring into the abyss. He makes artlessness an art form; he's a Picasso of pettiness, a Shakespeare of shit. His flaws are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
There have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of evil people too. But rarely has stupidity been so evil, and rarely has evil been so stupid.
He makes Nixon seem trustworthy and George W. seem intelligent.
If Frankenstein decided to create a monster composed entirely of human flaws, he would create a Trump and a remorseful Dr. Frankenstein screamed in anguish, "My God what have I created?"
If an idiot were a television show, Trump would be the box set.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

We can kid about Trump, but it’s no joking matter. He and his cronies, aided and abetted by the Supreme Court, are turning America into a fascist, authoritarian state. The Republicans need to stop putting party over country and recognize the danger.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

We’re at a dangerous moment in our country - where refugees are being blamed for all society's problems. While the super-rich, who really caused these problems, are busy taking more and more wealth from working class people.

For 40 years, the ideas launched by Thatcher - cuts, deregulation and privatisation - have meant attack after attack on working-class living standards. The last decade and a half of austerity made things even worse.

Instead of holding the billionaire class to account - those who have stolen the wealth created by ordinary people - Farage and his allies are scapegoating refugees and are being cheered on by our billionaire-owned media.

But hatred and division won’t build a single council house. It won’t put a penny more into the NHS. It won’t deliver higher wages. In fact, Farage and his mates voted against stronger workers’ rights in Parliament recently. They want the NHS replaced with a private system.

The only thing this politics of distraction, hatred and division achieves is to protect our rigged economic system - so that the super-rich can keep getting richer, while everyone else is left worse off.

Let's be clear: the cause of the problems in our society is the tiny elite hoarding the vast majority of our country’s wealth. Refugees fleeing war and persecution are not to blame for collapsing living standards, falling wages, or bringing our NHS to its knees.

So instead of this 'divide and rule', let's unite and build a country that really serves the 99% - not the super-rich.

Let's impose a wealth tax on the ultra-rich, let's build huge numbers of council houses, let's bring water and energy back into public ownership and let's kick the profiteers out of our NHS.

That's how we can build a better future for ordinary people.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Socialism is that evil thing that is really bad because it will make the ridiculously rich people less rich, while giving everyone else everything they need.

Who tells you it is really bad?

The ridiculously rich people of course.

@AmazonHelp Can you explain why Amazon UK seems to think that it is reasonable for Amazon Delivery drivers in liveried vans to laugh at people for being disabled?
I do have videos of the incident.
