Take your flags and shove them up your arses. You’re not “supporting the country” you’re baiting those you don’t like, don’t want here and regard as vermin. You’re pathetic Little Englanders and you make me ashamed to be British. Give me back my tolerant, pragmatic, amiable country. #UK #Flags

Starmer is increasingly a fucking waste of space.
When he says 'family' values, does he mean the Manson Family, or The Family as in Genovese, Gotti, Lucchese et al? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Unless Starmer is playing him, he's a servile quisling.

Wind turbines only last 10–15 years” is pure FUD propaganda. That’s a design life, not a death sentence. Denmark just extended its 2000-built Middelgrunden offshore wind farm to 2050—50 years! Like bridges, turbines last decades with proper care. The myth is dead. Wind lives on. 🌬️⚡ #EnergyTransition
Denmark extends life of two of its oldest offshore wind farms – one by another 25 years
Two of Denmark’s oldest offshore wind farms get life extensions – one for another 25 years, taking its total operating life to half a century.

This photo is a joke. A joke that started an illegal war.
Everything this man does looks and sounds like a joke... but destroys tens of thousands of people's lives.
He's a clown of violence, hatred, and destruction.

Imagine if a referendum were held in which 52% of those who voted declared that the Earth was flat.
And that subsequently everyone in the UK was forced to behave as if the Earth was indeed flat, and all main parties said "Ok, flat it is. Evidence be damned."
That's Brexit.
