You do realise there’s only a glimmer of global hope today because millions of Putin/Musk/Trump bots were blown up by Ukraine, right? Western democracy is still fucked until these people are permanently stopped and decisively punished.
Yeah, well done America.
So…. When do we in the UK book in the second Brexit referendum which will be at least 75% REJOIN?
You cannot be a moral person and not fervently wish everything the average Palestinian has suffered throughout their lives on every single Labour MP, and indeed every Zionist supporter in every field. But especially Labour MPs.
I haven't eaten brand Rice Krispies for decades, good to know the cheaper alternatives are better in every way.

We need shame to make a comeback. It's the lack of *shame* from those with power which has broken everything.

I wonder if celebrities who do gambling adverts ever go out in search of suicidal people on roof edges so they can shout "JUMP!" at them? I suppose it depends what the money's like.
I think you absolutely should legally be allowed to bludgeon Jess Glynne to death, as long as you loudly sing that bastard 'Hold My Hand' song as you do so.
I swear no more cash has ever been wrung out of one single song than that one, it's a genuine crime against humanity.
Am I not supposed to draw anything meaningful about modern society from the fact that U channel (or whatever it's called this week) broadcasts a brand new "comedy game show" at least once a week – and not a single one of them has reached 1% of the quality of 'A Word In Your Era'?
America's real problem was the way it developed without a national dependency on yeast extract spread on toast every morning. Lack of essential B vitamins leads directly to fascism.
Could there be a more minuscule loss to our culture than the works of Boy George?
2.5 okayish songs, 45 years ago, as part of a group, and not one single thing of value since.
Big George contributed more to our culture than that tragically pathetic kidnapping sex criminal. youtu.be/O_Y9OhnPkQA?is=tLq_…
It’s hard to comprehend the level of idiocy required to still claim the tiniest flake of faith in Labour as an even vaguely humane organisation. From Burnham down, they are a violently immoral and dangerous force for injustice and suffering the nation over.

The 1996 Only Fools And Horses special features a futuristic dream sequence involving Rodney. The scene is set on 2nd November 2026.
No political democracy which can possibly be in any way influenced by £$€ – let alone entirely powered by it – can ever be a system capable of providing even the very lowest minimum of fairness in society.
This does go without saying, but it’s transparently true.
