If, like us, you're frustrated with billionaire-owned mainstream media -

-then do back the Bylines Network to bring a new type of grassroots media into the landscape, with monthly 300,000-400,000 article reads - and many millions of search engine & soc media impressions 💪

🪬🧿Unicorns are the best!

#unicorn #joke #funny #animal #rhino #swordfish #humor #alttext
The image is a three-panel joke comparing a unicorn to other animals with horns. The top panel is a horse with a horn on its head. To the right of the horse is the word, "Unicorn". The middle panel shows a rhinoceros with a horn on its nose. To the right of the rhino are the words, "Heavy assault unicorn." The bottom panel shows a swordfish leaping out of the water. Next to it are the words, "High speed submersible unicorn."

I find it extraordinary that despite most evidence discrediting Thatcher/Reaganomics & showing they are mainly responsible for the current inequality & crumbling public services these right-wingers still cite her as the most amazing PM of all time.
Selfishness & insular do not a society make 🤨

Javier Milei had to beg a bail-out and already needs another. Argentina's economy is in a tailspin. Gov't bonds and peso in freefall. People starving, throwing rocks at him.

Farage last year: "He's amazing. It's Thatcherism on steroids. Cutting and slashing expenditure. That's leadership."

Remind us Dorries, who rolled out the red carpet & warmly welcomed as a heroe an actual convicted incitor of violence at their conference?

What a load of utter waffle. Yusuf is a typical man with nothing to say beyond his own self-importance & imagined victimhood.
He constantly repeats an unverified claim that Farage cannot be beaten at the ballot box & that Starmer is inciting violence.

Ah, morning Kev - there you are!
Just spent a week in the fabulous Picos de Europa in Northern Spain which reminded me of your camino diaries...
I now have a bit more respect for your journey, certainly 'hilly'! 🙏
