I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

So what is Lee Anderson’s little secret?
He’s going to carry on election campaigning in the wrong constituency?
He smears peanut butter on his girth?
He smells of mint?
He’s joining a new political party?
He hasn’t had a bath in 4 years?
His nickname is ‘Bubbles’?
He’s a vegan?🤔

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

"Britain is suffering, she is not well," said Suella Braverman, announcing her defection to Reform UK.

Emily Maitlis says that after "slagging off Britain's broken-ness," the former Tory is in for one hell of a shock when she finds out who's responsible...

Suella Braverman becomes the latest Tory MP to jump ship and join Reform UK. Does her defection damage the Conservatives – or is it Nigel Farage who should be worried?

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).

She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.

She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.

Horrible.

No, BBC News. Alex Pretti was not simply "shot dead". That implies an accident, or a least a morally neutral action.

This man was deliberately murdered, by agents of his own government. It was a conscious act of pure, cowardly evil.

Please have a word with your online colleagues who seem to have deliberately not watched any footage of the incident and are presenting the demonstrable lies from the administration as though they are a valid opinion.

You don't belong in such tawdry company.
