Loss of Freedom of Movement in Europe has been devastating to British freelancers and small businesses that rely upon mobility at short notice to provide services across Europe.

Only an EU passport solves the problem.

It’s a serious criminal offence to conspire to remove a UK Prime Minister

Meanwhile, let’s have a look at Steve Bannon’s well documented and ultimately successful attempts to remove Theresa May (with Epstein’s support) from 2018-19

“The Epstein files make it clear that Gill was not one bad apple, but part of something much bigger and darker: a web of far-right, Russia-linked anti-democratic forces. It is an oblique and shady movement, in which [Farage] appears to be embroiled deeply.”

Have you heard of something called the Guga hunt?

Every year, baby gannets are killed for food under a special legal exemption

Please sign the petition calling on NatureScot to stop licensing the Guga hunt.

Yes - if 40% of the UK Voting Age Population does not vote (as in 2024) and Labour won a third of the votes of those who did vote, that means the Labour landslide was based on 20% of the Voting Age Population. This is not an anti Labour point- it is a pro democracy point.
Appreciate there are no perfect electoral systems, but FPTP has been increasingly difficult to defend on a democratic viability basis since 2014 (I despise UKIP, but they amplified the FPTP issues).

With GEs now seeing FPTP majorities on <30% vote shares, 70% disenfranchised rate isn't sustainable.

🚨 Peter Thiel, Palantir co-founder, is a rich powerful man named in the Epstein files.

I raised concerns in opposition.

The power & intellectual imbalance between big tech and politicians matters. It's easy to be bamboozled safeguards and transparency are imperative.

2/12 There is a reason why Putin, Musk, Trump, Vance, Thiel, and Xi all spend fortunes to attack Brussels.

They do not hate the EU because it fails.

They hate it because of its potential.

Our unity is their nightmare

Wuthering Heights
A doomed love between Cathy and Heathcliff leads to tormented heartbreak - and a quest for revenge that reaches across generations. Emily Bronte's haunting classic.

I have mainly seen bad reviews of it, which the clips I've seen support. Am only surprised that she didn't merge Elordi's recent rôles & explain Heathcliff's mysterious origins by having him manufactured in a laboratory… (Or is this the Creature's back-story?)

Coulthart posts a good number of splendid examples of Leloir's illustrations for an 1894 edition of The Three Musketeers. If you love Dumas, The Three Musketeers, historical costume, and/or vintage illustration, take a look.

The Bannonites need to be cleared out of British politics. It's a cross-party problem, so it will be tough…
“brexit, just the beginning” / “return to tribalism. counter to globalization. amazing new alliances. you and I both agreed zero interest rates were too high & as i said in your office. finding things on their way to collapse, was much easier than finding the next bargain”

The Epstein files reveal how the dark agents of chaos - Bannon, Trump, Thiel, Epstein - were working together to undermine democracy and our sense of reality itself.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Emerald Fennell’s take on Emily Brontë is an emotionally hollow, bodice-ripping misfire that misuses Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi but makes the most of Martin Clunes
