Ashington is WELL special

Within 30 minutes I've witnessed

A pissed, blood soaked, SHIRTLESS bloke in Lidl trying to buy booze... looking like he's straight from Shitfaced Fight Club!

Then get stopped by fire engine rushing to extinguish whatever is ablaze under the fucking bridge I'm stuck on!
😬

Yes...the engine was off before anybody asks! Just stuck on a bridge...with something on fire underneath

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

They are indeed Nigel #FarageRiots boats that are coming across the channel, it says so on the label.

Obviously he has been misquoted and this chart is pure fabrication….FAKE NEWS!

I’m sure that he voted “REMAIN”

Every year, there's a 📸 competition called www.comedywildlifephoto.com. It's a conservation project with great, often hilarious photos full of fun (instead of Schadenfreude). This is how the world should be: joyful, observant, open-eyed.
#GoodMorning, everyone. The winner:

This is important. proposed amendments to the Data Protection and Digital Information Bill, specifically New Clause 21 (NC21) submitted by Dr Ben Spencer MP and others, which appears to mandate the recording of “sex” solely as defined by “sex at birth” across public authorities.

The amendment would under the guise of Data Protection, force all records including driving licence and passport to out trans people. It is urgent that you contact your MP and use all channels to prevent this. I have drafted a letter to my MP which people can use as a template.

Nigel Farage announces plan to deport legal immigrants.

Will split families. Will resisters end-up in concentration camps?

Plans to deny welfare benefits to those who worked, paid taxes.

Produces false financial savings numbers.

Reform party will eventually come after citizens, with parents who were born abroad, like myself. My friends and I have had this discussion for some time. Make no joke about it, if they get into power they will need to continue to enrage the British voting public, they need chaos to thrive.

I don't doubt that. But that just shows what the BBC, even in Scotland, views as the establishment. And that's rule from Westminster.

The possible answer is because the conservatives are now nowhere in regards to public opinion.
The BBC always claims impartiality as a public broadcaster. But it is (and always has been) part of the establishment. Does that unofficially mean Reform now? They're almost all Tories anyway.🤷🏻‍♂️

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

There once was a man called 30p lee,
Who liked to threaten the BBC.
He's was offended by satire
So he threatened to conspire
