Isn’t that Barry Glendenning’s stance at the Guardian?

This guy used to make decent points, but ever since Jezza fucked-up, he’s become extremely embittered, instead of accepting that no-one really liked him. I mean, no honest person would consider the current lot have “deliberately fucked-over” everyone in the UK, nor be the “most reviled govt”

lol.

A warning has been issued after fake letters were posted through letterboxes, claiming people would have to house refugees if they flew St George's flag.
The letter said that "patriotic" households displaying the country's flag will temporarily house refugees because ‘we know you would be proud to assist your country’.

The problem isn’t gambling. If it was, other western countries that have had legal gambling/sport-betting for decades would have the US’s issues; they don’t. Issue is USA’s inability to handle gambling

BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 1d

I do think we have a pretty good chance of turning gambling into a genuine popular moral crusade 19th century style, because it's becoming a social evil that's destroying young men's lives in particular but also making sports coverage really shit.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

The extent to which the news media cycle is focusing on Reform rather than the wider strategic goals of Plaid Cymru as the party that actually won is a sign that much of the media and political establishment is going to again end up blindsided by trends that were visible long before

Mark McGeoghegan @markmcgeoghegan.bsky.social · 2d

That scene of the Welsh BBC correspondent being the only person interviewing Caerphilly's new Plaid AM while the rest of the media interviewed Reform's loser in the background was far too on the nose.

TBF, their refusal to promote the good things they’re doing has been pretty much consistent since they got elected…

This would also be a factor in my deep disappointment in No 10 communications and the direction of policy messaging. Here is something which is undoubtedly a good thing for millions of private renters, a once in decades change. Something that people *need* to know about. And... tumbleweed.

So the Renters' Rights Bill completed Parliament today. It has taken some time and I think we've forgotten what an important and really substantial piece of legislation it is. A huge and valuable change is coming (even if we don't know exactly when yet).

Graham Platner has a skull and crossbones tattoo he got as a soldier, James Talarico is a Teach for America grifter funded by casino interests, Mallory McMorrow has a secret AIPAC plan for donors.
Guess what pearl clutchers think is scandalous?

In some ways the current media-political complex panic over Reform and maybe even the AfD resembles the hype cycle inflating the AI bubble

Incredible what a great Rorschach test the Platner tattoo is. Almost no one I have respect for is defending it and almost everyone I think is a dishonest hack is coming up with excuses. Like, cutting across ideology even!

I will take the internet's word that that's a Nazi symbol but if you're just looking at it on the wall of a parlor without the internet it looks more Grateful Dead than Nazi.

Looks like Maccabi have saved the UK government from the spectacle of somehow overturning an expert public safety assessment.

Either politicians make public safety at sports stadiums an absolute priority or they do not.

Maccabi Tel Aviv say in a statement that they will "decline any allocation offered on behalf of away fans" for next month's Europa League match against Aston Villa at Villa Park, adding that "the wellbeing and safety of our fans is paramount."

Keynesianism is like Ozempic in that it's something that works but makes people mad because they want moral hazard to be involved

Regime Accountant, CPA ☠️🎢 @regimecpa.bsky.social · Apr 4

There’s a certain kind of person who thinks Keynesian stimulus is “putting off” a necessary correction and I’m always amazed how many of them there are.

A woman who rang ABC Sydney radio said she found out about the Optus outage from her cat.

The cat has an automatic wi-fi feeder (connected to Optus) & when breakfast wasn't delivered at 6:10 am, the cat went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.

I've never had curry or a kabab and don't intend to.
British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones.
Also, our national dish isn't a chicken tikka masala we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.
