I hate Reform, I hate Tommy Robinson, I hate MAGA. I hate how far-right the world is going...that is the last political thing I'll say on here. I'm trying to get out of the political hole I'm in on social media. It's too much for me. Please unfollow me if you wish.
OK this post is still accurate except that wasn't the last political post I did...believe me, I'm trying 😂
OK I did have a speech written down 😂 but instead I'll just say this.
It's ridiculous and sad that politicians, celebrities, whoever they are in the public eye can get away with the hate they're spewing to rile people up. I really can't wait for this to be over.

Let me hear your Muppet hot takes, but with some ground rules:
1. No mention of Kermit, because that topic's been beaten to death.
2. Try to keep it positive, if possible.
Now, what do you got for me?

I think the only politicians that would be against doing the following are ones that are doing one or more of them
Banning crypto donations
Capping donation amounts
Politicians not having a 2nd job
If you're taking being a politician seriously it should be a full-time job, wanting what's best for

Honestly, take 'em out of the PMQs political points scoring pantomime and stick 'em in a parliament backroom, the decent ones with shared interests in specific fields put their differences aside and work for the benefit of the country. Especially if you take out most of the self-serving Cons 😄.

Ro Khanna is right...Andrew needs to answer questions...right after Trump and Bannon do. He says the Queen is just like everyone else, so is the President of the United States. Get those 2 to talk then you can call Andrew!

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries.
One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home.

If you've never seen one of these mini mighty raptors, a good place to go is Finley National Wildlife Refuge and its surrounding areas, (Corvallis, Oregon). I must have counted close to 50 of them yesterday, (along with 10 Bald Eagles, a Red Tailed Hawk, and a Northern Harrier.)

If you want to see the BBC improve, then you MUST take part in the consultation as part of the Charter renewal.
It is open now!
I've spoken before on how the word 'impartial' used prominently in the current Charter to define the BBC's purposes is a major problem, only being added in 2017.
