All I have to say about Greenland is I truly worry about Trump's ability to find Greenland on a map and not end up annexing Iceland instead...

Under the Treason Felony Act 1848, it is a crime punishable by life imprisonment to intimidate parliament or encourage any foreign power to invade the U.K.
We should be applying this law to every traitor openly calling for the U.S to depose our democratically elected government.

I used to get teased for my family being too poor to afford the "good" fibre broadband.
This is my WiFi speed now and it's about to get faster. Our ethernet is also faster than this.
Who's laughing now? 🙂↕️

You ever learn a piece of family lore so diabolical you consider immediately voluntarily having yourself committed to psych for your own safety?

So YouTube can't disclose to me why I keep getting rejected from the YPP and when I bring up suggestions, they can't discuss it further.
But when I say that I bet it's because I've vocally supported Palestine in a video, they can immediately say "that's not it"...

I bet taking away people’s wedding rings will help to plug a hole in the budget made by paying the private companies who are charging obscene amounts of money to cramp up people in “asylum hotels”. Maybe they should be forced to sell a kidney too, everyone has two after all.

I am BEGGING Nintendo to start cracking down on the hentai and AI slop on the e-store as hard as they crack down on modders

For Shabana Mahmood to attack some of the most cruelly treated people in the world as having won a "golden ticket" because they manage to get to and claim asylum in Britain is unforgiveable.
A new, far right, low for which I can think of no precedent, by any UK Government.

Had someone tell me that if I'm so ashamed to be British, I should denounce my British citizenship and I'm like... you realise that doesn't change the fact that I was born and raised in the UK, by British parents... right??

As a British immigrant living abroad, I am watching in horror as "expats" organise a stop the boats protest in Benidorm.
This is why the rest of us get a bad name. This behaviour is why we are hated abroad.

I’m so fucking angry.
This is exactly what I’ve warned all you continual supporters of Labour about for years.
They have NOTHING for you- only threats that what follows is worse, as they appeal actively to the supporters of those evil policies.
Leave this rancid, ideologically hollowed out party.

This is the politics of blackmail. The alternative is not a Reform government. The alternative is maintaining our international commitments to being a compassionate nation

A law was just passed in Iceland that I believe means that people don't have to seek consent from neighbours and building managers before owning a pet and, as comments on Facebook agree, I have never heard of a country where so many people have life threatening dog/cat allergies
