It told me, that america is so dependent on easily manipulated media, that they ignore reality itself in favour of fantasy delivered by a foreigner because they like how it sounds.
2024 election really was the end.

I've finally found something that I've been looking for for years.
Yes, it's an old colander... but it's there's something special and historical about the artefact... can you tell what's so extra interesting about it?

The 30% support for Farage is being overtaken, finally, by the 70% of us who absolutely loathe him.
About time that happened.

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

In a functioning society, the only people who would listen to the opinions of Liz Truss would be fellow passengers on a London night bus and many of them would get off at the next stop and walk the rest of their journey.

It’s #SmallBusinessSaturday!
A day to celebrate the brilliant businesses that give our high streets character.
This Xmas, please shop local, it matters.
I’ve run two small businesses; it’s 24/7 and tough.
I’ll keep campaigning for them. If you’re one, I’m your MP too, please reach out for support

Newsom understands how to humiliate someone who absolutely hates being humiliated. And Dems need a whole lot more of this. Trump cannot stand when people highlight exactly who he is in a way he can’t spin or outrun. If you’re planning on running for president, this is the skill set you better master

It turned out to be quite tricky and, frankly, damn dangerous, so I went back to regular paper.
