Not sure how @mrjamesob.bsky.social is holding it together listening to this speech. I’m bloody struggling, but at least have the option to switch the radio off!

"15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now Poland is growing twice as fast as we are," says Kemi Badenoch.

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Very good piece (as always). This album got me through a particular time in my life. My ex wife and I were in the process of moving house when house we were buying fell through. I moved in with the in laws and I bought this. It was the only CD I had available to me as everything else was in storage.

LBC news just played a clip of F**age saying he believes in sharia law at some level in London as he has heard it from taxi drivers.

Why the fuck is he being asked this question. He isn’t a health professional so why on earth would anybody want his fucking opinion on the subject.

"We were told thalidomide was a safe drug and it wasn't..."

Nigel Farage says he has 'no idea' if Donald Trump is right about paracetamol being linked to autism.

Easy to say he’s a fucking lunatic (he is), but people buy this shit. We’ve got a decorator in, early 60’s. Asked him if he wanted a tea earlier & I got a lecture on how Trump will go down as the best president of all time before quoting shit like this, as well as lots of other nonsense. Exhausting.

Trump to the UN: "I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor -- terrible terrible mayor -- and it's been so changed, so changed. Now they want to go to Sharia Law ... both their immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe."

It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen this, it still blows me away.

Yes everyone stop what you're doing and just watch it trust me

I thought the idea of a Mandalorian film was pointless, and that trailer hasn’t done anything to change that opinion.
