Far right honker, Nigel, furiously peddles stupid, prejudiced ideas that make you poorer. Then, when you are poorer, he tells you you’re right to feel angry about that. But not with him.
For love of god, England, work it out…

We did loads this year…
We kicked out the Tories, we called out the ruinous idiocy of Brexit, we exposed the liars and the grifters, we’ve caused an almighty tantrum in the rightwing press and the Tory MPs that survived are losing their shit in opposition…
Let’s keep going in 2025. Happy New Year!

Sky TV question. Would any of you fine folk know why I can’t seem to use the ‘Manage your Sky TV’ function on the MySky app? I want to downgrade some stuff that I don’t use. TIA

With so much kindness, intelligence and love around, how have we, as a society, totally messed up? War, famine, misinformation, science denial, etc….! Make it make sense.

That is excruciatingly dense. All of it. And yet still so cocky.
Anyone who thinks these arsehats could govern a country must be beyond dim.

In 2022, Brexit cost us £1M a day. So, Mark Francois and Ian Dullard Smith decrying universal phone chargers as a loss of sovereignty is beyond pathetic. Your idiotic ideology has failed, lads.
And we’re all very bored of it. Time to make things work again.

Seeing videos of parts of Belfast flooded, due to Storm Bert. This city's crumbling waste water infrastructure leaves it at serious risk.

Meanwhile the Stormont Executive shows little urgency to fund it and that it is growing into a public health crisis.
