Daily Mail never misses a chance to debase themselves. Not what he actually said but you know, when has the daily fail ever missed an opportunity to spout bollox for the sake of the far right racist cunts.

Most people I know have long suspected Farage and his cronies were on the payroll of Russia. That they'd sell everything and everyone out at a price. But now everyone is shocked at Gill. Has everyone been asleep?

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

I had one, hit that button, and then thought "why fucking bother, this computer can do it already", so I took up guitar instead. Thinking of the young people today, I hope they don't give up on creating their own art.

I don't mind AI image generation being used where it's recognisably not being pushed as art, making a political point, being used as a tool. When I see someone saying they're an AI artist, I think that's adorable, mute, and never have to see it again, but the point with the keyboard hit hard....

If the US government is anti ANTIFA, then that would make the US government, ..... fascists.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

Average real wage of UK workers is stuck the 2008 level.

Some bosses are collecting 1,112 times more than the average employee wage. Millions forced to rely on food banks and charity.

Workers have no say in income distribution. Govts do nothing.

Can't build economy/society on huge inequalities.

The government must ensure fair distribution of income

'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'

I'm guessing Cherrybomb has been used and not upbeat enough.

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

It is with sadness that Stevie Carr has to announce that the Dnipro Kids minibus was stolen last week from Seaview/Edinburgh Road at Joppa. The registration in BL15FUH and if anyone has seen it, or can remember seeing it elsewhere over the past week, please get in touch.
Please share.

Georgia wants to be in the European Union, not under Russia's yoke.

This is a very touching piece, written by an incredibly brave journalist who is in prison for actively resisting arrest. Do read, she more than deserves our attention.
