The UK needs to phase in far stricter media laws that enforce independent, non-partisan reporting. We’ve already bred a nation of racists and misogynists — how on earth is this meant to end?

That’s exactly what Farage and Reform are aiming for—tearing the country apart to create chaos and crisis, only to present themselves as the heroic problem-solvers. It’s a bargain-basement remake of the Trump MAGA playbook.

Easy — it’s the urge to have a leader as low-grade and morally bent as themselves.
A way to “raise” their own standing by dragging everyone else’s standards down.

Tear into parts? So the “island of strangers” is set to cut into two—or more— islands of strangers?
Weak joke, sorry. But I’m fed up with Sir Keir’s waffling and his toothless swings at Reform and Farage.

Starmer “lacking vision”? Are you sure? Nothing says inspirational like playing Trump’s little helper in an imaginary “special relationship” while running a tweaked Tory-Lite government.

Oddly comforting to know that idiots, morons and imbeciles are sprinkled across every race, background and profession — though it hardly makes it any better.

The Bishop 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇹🇼🇨🇦🏴‍☠️💙 @fritzbischoff.bsky.social · 11d

We’re still a long way from the sort of authoritarian takeover Trump has pulled off.
But worst is yet to come.
Trump has no chance of winning the midterms or the 2028 election, and I expect he’s planning to provoke a national emergency so he can exploit emergency powers to manipulate the vote.

Reform’s 🇬🇧🤡 leader bribed by 🇷🇺Russia.
I’m always amazed anew at how British nationalists almost masochistically humiliate themselves—while the dim flag-shagging mob cheers them on.
