I'm 99% on bsky now, and am unfollowing people on here who I'm already following on bsky.

This is awful. The last ever Denby Pottery going to the kiln. Why is there not uproar? Where’s the government in this?? We all have Denby in our homes, in family heirlooms, as our history and now it’s closing through lack of support, such a sad sad day. #SaveDenby @denbypottery

Under FISA 702, the government collects massive amounts of data on Americans while “targeting” foreigners overseas.

They then unconstitutionally search that data without a warrant for info on Americans.

The “libertarian demand” he’s whining about is called the Fourth Amendment.

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”

D-Day commemoration, Omaha Beach, June 6 2024

Zelensky arrived, the crowd applauded. And then this happened:

🇺🇸 veteran: You’re a saviour of the people

Zelensky: No, no, you saved Europe

🇺🇸 veteran: My hero

Zelensky: No, you are our hero

Your ICE agents shot an unarmed US citizen in the head. A mother.

Then they shot another man for standing in the street.

The US government murders its own citizens.

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

The US government has joined the 'two-tier policing' debate on the side of Elon Musk, Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox - providing some much needed credibility to everyone on the opposite side of the debate

Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.

Please repost if you want Elon Musk to keep his fascist pro-Russian nose out of British politics.

Our democracy is for the British people. It is not the plaything of the world's richest man.

[Bruce McD @brucemcd23]

Andrea Jenkyns walked out of an all party Mayoral Council meeting with Steve Reed because she ,as a Reform Mayor , won’t acknowledge the effect of Farage’s call to riot

Which led to injuries to 11 police officers in Southampton, and families being subjected to 4 hours of terror as Farage’s supporters hurled brick and wheelie bins

The claim of structurally embedded anti white racism in the police service is a myth concocted by Farage . Leadership is not about inciting riots . Reform have to own the consequences of Farage’s actions

#ChargeFarage

[Bruce McD @brucemcd23]

Of course Jenkyns has always struggled observing appropriate Standards in Public Life

Here she is demonstrating her lack of respect for those who hold views different from her own

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Ofcom claims there is no consensus to ban Nigel Farage from Presenting on GB News.

Lets show them one.

Today I will mostly be using a tragedy to distract attention from my dodgy financial dealings.

Fortunately, Britain has a Bermuda-registered mass circulation newspaper owned by a French-domiciled billionaire, a television station owned by a Dubai hedge fund and a political party backed by a Thailand-based crypto tycoon to remind us of the importance of patriotism

"So, Laure Ferrari, were you aware that Nigel had just received a bribe of £5m while you were scraping together enough to pay for a house in his constituency?"

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Nigel Farage registered ‘absent’ from the last 77 votes in Parliament

Official Parliamentary figures reveal that Reform leader Nigel Farage hasn't bothered to vote for anything in the last 11 weeks...

[Bruce McD @brucemcd23]

Indeed. Compared with the amounts Farage has received in secret , Murrell’s crime involves far less money but is attracting far greater continuing scrutiny

And the disproportionately compared with Rayner’s £44,000 underpayment of Stamp Duty is simply staggering

That earned her 30 Front Pages

And again comparing with Rayner, on top of all the other outstanding questions about Farage’s Murky Millions there is still the question of Stamp Duty re Farage’s constituency house owing to there being no plausible explanation of how its cash purchase was financed

The easy ride Farage gets from the media is a scandal . Can’t all be down to the Carter Ruck effect

[Annabelle Sanderson 💜🤍💚 @WiltsAnnabelle]

When I worked for Nigel I cannot remember him being in the slightest bit interested in this subject or meeting any survivors.

Neither can Jane Collins, the lady who did the work. In fact, he all but abandoned her .

Meanwhile the evidence in the Epstein files of Johnson and Farage colluding with Steve Bannon to topple Theresa May has not been contested https://t.co/vxlFSv4KFW

Trump never had the authority to go to war with Iran. Congress never voted to give him such authority. Mike Johnson is a fraud and a puppet speaker of the House.
