So Flagfash is over and now we enter Poppymas.

Whatever happened to quiet reflection and remembrance?

We have lost that amazing generation and are in danger of losing their quiet dignity and respect.

England is better than this.

I think a teachers strike will be the least of his problems should we shoot ourselves in the other foot and stumble him into No10.

He can't do detail or scrutiny. At least Johnson was a jester, this Neil bloke is a boring snowflake.

I thought I'd hunt out the local BBC news to see how the result went down...

"Good evening from BBCLondon and our viewers in the East who are having technical problems"

Someone convince me that it's not BBCNorwich 🤣

I'm feeling emotional.

Is it waiting 16 years to record a win?
Is it waiting 49 years to finally witness a win myself at Portman Road?
Is it just being in an amazingly happy place right now?

Gotta love this game called football!

..and this morning's train is now 20 minutes late...

Whoever schedules a noon kickoff on a Sunday is an imbecile.

Gosh, trains for a midday kickoff at Ipswich are impossible...

...heading off now.

A night in a random hotel on route awaits.

Tice being an utter wet snowflake on #LBC.

Reform don't like scrutiny.

Keep it up @tomswarbrick.bsky.social !

Would the #FarageFlotilla be a better name for the massive problem his Brexit has caused?

A thin skinned snowflake.

Slight bit of scrutiny and he's throwing a toddler fit.

Farage is not fit.

GlenPB 🇬🇧🇪🇺 @glenpbarnes.bsky.social · 10d

Gosh, crybaby snowflake Farage.

Yet again showing he flaps and founders when under scrutiny.

He's weak.

GlenPB 🇬🇧🇪🇺 @glenpbarnes.bsky.social · 10d

Is it now #CryBabyFarage?

What a massive snowflake.

Woooooooh.

Will you stop creating a podcast of my deepest thoughts.

I'm starting to think you are both my inner soul - it's scary.

Labours dithering on PR is possibly going to be a monumental mistake. If the worst does happen they will be consigned to the BorisBin of broken political parties.

Yeah...

FlipFlopFarage changes his statements constantly, never wanting anything he says to catch up with him.

Another week without a mob charged national boycott of the hotel chains housing asylum seekers.

Are Farage and co more concerned with keeping big hotel owners happy? Do they want it to drag on for political gain?

What a complete two-faced, insincere fraud of a campaign.

GlenPB 🇬🇧🇪🇺 @glenpbarnes.bsky.social · 13d

THIS!!!!

The country is split and fighting itself.
Governments ruling with minority support only add fuel to that discontent.

The world has moved on, Labour policy needs to catch up!

If Reform sweeps to power with a 30% vote share we only have ourselves to blame.

Talk is cheap, action now!

Farage made Brexit happen.
Brexit caused the small boats issue.
Small boats means a need for DigitalID.
Brexit makes us all poorer.

It's all his fault.

Farage's Brexit caused the small boats problem.

Now Farage wants to take away your rights enshrined in the ECHR and the Labour government wants to introduce a DigitalID as a detterent.

Brexit is the problem.
Farage is the problem.

Is anyone countering the extreme right wing on social media, I don't just mean dry statements and logic two days after an event?

Where are the swans telling Farage to wind his neck in?

Where are the GIFs of Father Jack sat drunk and swearing in the corner but with Farage's face?

Is it down to us?

Another day of the same people screaming about leaving the ECHR and refusing DigitalID cards.

Are they all so far down the rabbit hole that they can't see their own contradictions?

GlenPB 🇬🇧🇪🇺 @glenpbarnes.bsky.social · 13d

I saw this and thought it was about the rise of Reform on 30% whilst the rest of the UK squabbles.

We are about to fall into this fire.

Where are the leaders across the west who will stand up for democracy and truth?
