That some of the world's wealthiest and most powerful men were writing crime e-mails to crime man Epstein on gmail suggests two non-exclusive things:

a) Our meritocracy isn't all it's cracked up to be;

b) Our overlords operate at levels of arrogance & impunity that make consequences unimaginable.

Google Translate got better and better overtime and had a short window of being brilliant, before getting, one assumes, AI slopified, and coming up with stuff like this -

Guess who haven’t condemned Dump’s Afghanistan comments disrespecting 447 British deaths and countless wounded?

Nigel Farage.

Richard Tice.

Rupert Lowe.

Robert Jenrick.

Kemi Badenoch.

Nahim Zawahi.

These people hate Britain.

Wake up.

A government that still uses X-Twitter is condoning child abuse and sexual predators.

Then again hardly surprising for a government that thought Epstein’s chum Mandelson would make a good ambassador.

Why do they keep calling it "The Botched Brexit Deal"?

It implies that Brexit *done properly* would gift UK better deals than India, China, USA, Canada etc, indeed even better deals than those countries that are actually members of the EU!

Brexit by definition botches deals

"Brexit means Brexit."

I recall in the 60s, Remembrance Day was one solemn Sunday morning. That was it.
It was a moving occasion at our local memorial and attended by actual WW1 and WW2 veterans. Unlike the mawkish weeks long competition for the most tasteless display of a poppy that it's become
Often, less is more.

All EU members must sign up to the ECHR, because it is a legal obligation under the Treaty of Lisbon. So of course parties in England who don't want the UK to rejoin the EU would much prefer we left it.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

I don't know where this revisionism has come from about the suffragettes - people saying "if the suffragettes were around today, they'd be considered terrorists."

The suffragettes were arrested and tortured, sexually assaulted and beaten by the state. They *were* considered terrorists!

Being anti vaccines for babies is one of the surest signs of a declining civilisation. There could be no clearer evidence on childhood vaccination saving lives and preserving health and yet we’re being distracted by debating this issue.

It seems that many in the Labour government are abandoning British values
STOP APPEASING FASCISTS.

Just sums up everything wrong with this government's approach at the moment, encouraging division rather than finding ways to bring the vast majority together.

Here's how the real two-tier Britain works:
1. Whatever Nigel Farage says, however stupid, is looped and discussed by the media, while left-wing voices are treated as noises off.
2. Tiny far-right protests get massive airtime, while 10s of 000s gathering for Palestine or green causes are ignored.🧵
