Old git shaking my fist at the universe at the madness that is current politics
Good to see JD out in the wild and that Trump doesn’t have him locked away 24/7. But two questions

1. Why is Kemi in the US meeting with JD, thought that was Farages job
2. Why isn’t JD in France with Trump instead of the Musckovite

Just been going through my vinyl and realised that it dates from the 80s and 90s before I moved to cassettes and then CDs

Looking at prices for original vinyl in mint condition I am tempted to not pay them, but where is the fun in that

I am really enjoying not fighting obviously mad people on X/Twitter

Instead I have taken to being extremely polite (in a very sarcastic British way) in challenging them

And signing off with a cheery Toodleoo

I think this upsets them more

Trump just nominated Pam Bondi to replace Gaetz. This election complaint we filed with DoJ years ago seems pretty important now. "We believe Pam Bondi and Donald Trump violated federal voting laws including but not limited to bribery across state lines."

It's SO rare that somebody serves prison time for spousal abuse. This guy's a fucking danger.
Reform MP James McMurdock was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend.

He had told the media he was jailed for "pushing" his former partner in 2006.

Court records obtained by The Times say the sentence was given because of "the serious nature of the offence”.

Now that she owns Jeremy Clarkson (net worth £55m) Victoria Derbyshire's family have to pay inheritance tax on him when she dies.
“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.
