@indieretailgirl I think I've just seen her tweet. It's very similar to the one you did about the Yorkshireman, except she's banging on about some Welsh lass. In other news...I've heard that the owls are not what they seem.

This new Djed Spence chant 😭

@nancylouiselee @JeremyVineOn5 @_GeorgeFinch @MarinaPurkiss @theJeremyVine So you're not a listener. Suggests you live in your own echo chamber. "My hypocrisy is bigger than your ignorance?"! She's on the show because she's got some sort of clue. You're ringing in because you haven't got any.

@leekern13 You clown. Just because it doesn't get reported doesn't mean it doesn't happen. You're actively searching for Jew hate while dismissing any anti-Islam attacks. 27 attacks against 25 mosques in late 2025 alone. But this clearly doesn't fit your agenda.

@JulesAP011 @nicks_leon @Nobody31081993 @Number10cat @CPhilpOfficial Laws get changed because we realise how stupid they are eg. It was once illegal for women to vote. But then again, considering your lack of critical thinking, I'd suggest that for you, voting might be an intellectual leap too far! 😘

Ricky Gervais on 60 Minutes Makes a Crystal-Clear Case for Free Speech

He put it perfectly: the great thing about freedom of speech is that I can say what I want, and you can say you're offended, and I get to decide whether I care or not.

Because let's be honest, there's nothing you can say that someone, somewhere won't find offensive.

That's why blasphemy laws are so absurd, they're basically trying to protect an all-powerful deity from having its feelings hurt.

At the end of the day, we should be free to criticise any idea.

Just because you're offended doesn't automatically mean you're right.

Spot on, Ricky. Free speech isn't about never upsetting anyone, it's about the right to speak anyway.

@nivraxx I forsee it being clitbait.

@prtclll @allenanalysis Such a hellsite. America is lost. It's your kids and mothers and wives these fuckers are shooting in the face. Get an empathy injection before they knock on your doors with their itchy trigger fingers.

This is what people misunderstand about brain damage.

It’s rarely obvious.
It’s subtle.
It accumulates.

We only recognize it when it’s dramatic:
car crashes.
boxing.
football.

And even then, it takes years.

That’s when it gets names:
CTE.
Parkinson’s.
Personality change.

SARS-CoV-2 causes this same kind of injury.
Quietly.
Repeatedly.

We’re in the 12th wave in 6 years.
Every day, millions more are affected—and most won’t realize it yet.

By the time it’s undeniable, prevention is already gone.

Clean air matters.
Respirators matter.
People who look healthy can still infect you.

A huge thank you to every person who reads this and shares it.

I don't know if I've written a more important thread.

I just wish someone in authority would take it on board.

But WHO ARE ALL THESE DEAD PEOPLE that NO ONE is TALK ABOUT?

Imagine if every day in Europe, three or four planes carrying 180 passengers each were to crash, leaving no survivors, and yet no one talked about it. This troubling silence isn't just a European phenomenon;

@RyanMullarkey1 @KnightofChrist7 @basilthegreat Whereas an emotionless psychopath will always side with the corporate entity, I'm glad I still have empathy for Tom and I will reserve some pity for Ryan. What did his mum do to him?!

Laura Dern dropped out of college because UCLA would not allow her to take a leave of absence to film "Blue Velvet."

She gave David Lynch's script to the head of the film department in order to convince him, but he fired back at her: “First of all, if you make this choice, you are no longer welcome at UCLA. You’ll be out. But secondly, having read this script, that you would give up your college education for this is insane.”

Dern says that "today, if you want to get a masters in film at that school, when you write a thesis there are three movies you are required to study. And you know what one of them is? Pisses me off."

Disgusted to see the cynical use of ‘Sit Down’by @TRobinsonNewEra.
No permission was granted, and we are looking into our options.
The song and most of our topical lyrics, make it very clear where we stand, and it’s the antithesis of this organization

Another day, another utterly shameful cruelty against refugees announced.

Recognised refugees -

so people granted the long term right to stay in the UK because they have escaped real danger -

will face new barriers to reuniting with spouses & children safely in the UK #r4todat

Congratulations to the self-appointed guardians of British identity who’ve discovered that nothing says “I care about are kids” like tie-wrapping a flammable flag to a lamppost and walking away. Under the Highways Act (1980), councils are legally responsible for street furniture, including your unsolicited, wind-whipped declaration of bigotry. That means when your polyester import from a Chinese warehouse starts obstructing traffic sightlines, distracting drivers, or threatening to garrotte a pensioner in a stiff breeze, it’s the council, not you who foots the bill. These flags are designed for garden parties and football games and will fade faster than your outrage and fray like your grasp of civic responsibility.
So, while you’re busy defending Western civilisation one lamppost at a time, your local authority will be spending public money removing your patriotic litter before someone sues; don’t tell #ReformUK’s DOLGE.
