how do I convince you that buying music directly from the artist is a very cool thing to do? how do I get you to understand that the most important part or the music industry is the musicians and that you should directly give them money in exchange for their music?

I absolutely do not care about Rachel Reeves’s junior chess competition.
I absolutely do care about whether Farage is racist or not.
And, given the deranged but distinct possibility that he may become PM, we all should.
Ps… Narrator: there was no Damascene conversion.

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

Look at this graph, Reform almost all of them went to Private School.
If you are Working Class and you vote for Reform, you are a traitor, to yourself.

What the hell does Farage thinks he’s doing, going off to America *again* to maliciously slag off British teachers at some private Christian college, while offering to peddle their courses over here?

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Utter bollocks as usual. The only mention of the ECHR was in confirming that it wasn't considered at all by the judges. Deliberate lying to incite hatred and division by the the frog-faced gobshite.

64% of the richest 10% in Britain got most of their money via inheritance, not by working for it.

But sure. More austerity.
