Imagine if self-serving malevolent people were barred from politics? No I know, it won’t happen.

I see it’s the Express. Look elsewhere for some facts.

@wulfhelm.bsky.social as an extant Anglo-Saxon noble by some miracle would you care to pay homage?

Ræst in Frith Harold, last Anglo-Saxon king before yet more foreign invaders came over to change this country for the umpteenth time 😏

Here in the make believe world hot smoked salmon with buttered French haricots and roasted tatties. No gravy however thick.
Now let me get on with me cream crackers.

Posted before the Trump fan furore. It’s skin deep, much like him.

Yes Zack. I’m well into my 70s but I’ve never known a time when people felt more constantly miserable than they do now. Beaten down by incompetence and disillusionment I think. Thank you for what you’re doing.

I refer to “should of” rather than “shouid have” by way of common example.

Pathetic

I well remember him.

Another soulless Trump clone.

Lord Knows @hickson1chris.bsky.social · 1d

Thank the lord AI isn’t involved when I sit down and write with a pen and paper. I’m sure it will come. Brave New World.

Lord Knows @hickson1chris.bsky.social · 1d

So do I. The reality is that this is a photo opportunity for Trump and Netanyahu. The pair of them don’t have an ounce of integrity between them so I fear the worst still but I hope I’m wrong.

Water cress soup as no chewing required unlike spam.

It’s early days for @zackpolanski.bsky.social but finally there’s a voice that unites all of us who despise the Tories and Reform and who are frankly disappointed by Labour thus far. My values haven’t changed over the years and right now they’re with the Greens.

You won’t see it in the msm because it’s not favourable to him or Reform. Then you think back to how the bastards attacked Angela Rayner.

Lord Knows @hickson1chris.bsky.social · 1d

I absolutely agree with John. It’s papering over the cracks and the cracks will need more than paper.

Lord Knows @hickson1chris.bsky.social · 1d

It’s at best papering over the cracks but all Trump will do is wallow in his own glory. That is all that matters to him after all.

I tried it twice and got a reply saying not of the right quality so it appears that quality turds come at a price. This is an application for the top table.

I remember some years ago, you’ll remember better than me, when Belgium had no government for a while and still continued somehow.

Lord Knows @hickson1chris.bsky.social · 2d

Let’s just remember that before Trump gets what he’s after over Gaza, ie praise, prizes and adulation, that he and his equally psychotic mate Netanyahu have killed thousands of people.

I was summarising comments I’ve read from Starmer supporters. That’s it. By the way I’ll use whatever words I please, as indeed can Starmer supporters because although I don’t agree with them I respect their right to express an opinion. Now go away please.

Lord Knows @hickson1chris.bsky.social · 3d

I didn’t. I’m here for debate not angry finger pointing. I had enough of that on the other place. Besides, I was commenting only in the context of Brexit, nothing else.

Lord Knows @hickson1chris.bsky.social · 3d

It’s what his supporters say, not my words.

Lord Knows @hickson1chris.bsky.social · 3d

No, as a permanent French resident despite being British by birth I avoid going to the UK whenever possible. Home is here in the EU.

The UK must be unappealing to many in the EU who have witnessed their conduct over some years now.

I know Labour voters (normally I am one) defend Starmer’s practical caution but this is a time not to waste any more time! Unashamedly start the process to rejoin the EU!
