Zack Polanski is the antidote to Farage’s poison. Keep calling it out Zack they’re rattled.

Zack Polanski, "Reform UK's Zia Yusuf was full of b*llocks and I think it was important to call that out on #BBCQT"

"What has become clear about Reform UK, they're a bunch of cowards"

Patience rewarded: after many hours in a hide, the night's silence gave way to the quiet presence of a leopard at the water's edge.

They still will.. and this is lovely!

This first paragraph also applies to Reform in the U.K. Most of their intending voters have no idea that they’ll lose their NHS, their human rights and any semblance of competent economics, but they will at least have permission to be racist.

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 1d

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

I mean you’re barely covering the total shut down of the govt, the non payment of hundreds of thousands of fed employees incl the military and behaving as though everything is normal. Nor are you talking about the main reason why .. to keep the lid on the Epstein files. All very odd!

Hey @itvnews.bsky.social @skynewsrss.bsky.social please can you explain why you’re not covering the descent of the USA into fascism and the fight back which seems to be taking shape right now! It’s all over social media. Have you been told to keep quiet?

There is an enormous irony of course in Trump declaring peace and security in Gaza whilst simultaneously beginning to wage his war of suppression on his own citizens.

My former sister in law was one of the looney tune southern so-called ‘Christians ‘ and she never let a detail like scripture get in the way of the total nonsense she espouses. And yes, she’s a Trumper.

Hey Bible boy:

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

Matthew 25:35-36

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

My dearest Gertrude,

I fear I shall not make it home. This war has ravaged our supplies and broken our will.

We arrived with weapons, purpose, and a directive. Yet at every turn, we are mocked. Belittled.

I have never experienced an insult so great in a war zone

Send my best to the children
