Several years in chemistry followed by a career in IT. Now retired. Outdoorsy and leftish. Not a fan of the Bisto Stained Beelzebub, nor the craven billionaires that do his bidding. Never buy American.

How are we supposed to respond when they quite literally ask us to reject the evidence of our eyes?

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

After Trump's vile post about the Reiners went sour on him, is anyone surprised we're talking about a vexatious legal claim instead of the criticisms of him by his followers?

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts.
Completely, terrifyingly innocent.
And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial.
Politicians would do well to remember this when they tell us that justice is all about processing “criminals” swiftly.

Hey Americans. If you don't want my tourist money because you chose to elect a megalomaniac psycho with an incredibly fragile ego then that's fine. Canada, New Zealand and Australia will I'm sure be happy to have my money. And any number of other countries that we'd love to visit.

If he were to do that he'd be setting a very dangerous precedent for himself now, wouldn't he?

County council approved flag shaggers have been out in my neighbourhood hanging their banners. £75000 of public money from a cash strapped council to proclaim the profound sexual insecurities of Reform Council leaders.

Because at this time the political reality and economic reality aren't aligned and it would just cause another decade of paralysed government as they pingponged between the extremes. Make the case by all means but until the issue is essentially settled action is useless.
What’s the point of Keir Starmer employing an economics advisor if he ignores her on the biggest economic issue of the day?

Instead of appealing to our finer community feelings between programmes perhaps BBC News could consider stop being a safe haven for extremists and employ journalists willing to do their jobs in holding everybody to account rather than just the people Robbie Gibb disapproves of.

Migration isn't tearing Britain apart. The reform company and their billionaire backers are. And I hope they burn in hell for it.

It's beyond funny that he thinks he has a reputation that could be damaged. Just release the damned Epstein files and stop screaming squirrel every ten minutes you tangerine freak.

A trillion is unimaginable so let's put some scale to it. There's a nice illustration of the scale difference between a million and a billion. A million seconds is about 11 days whilst a billion is 31.7 years. A holiday versus a third of a long life. A trillion is 31700 years. Back to the ice age.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.
Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.
Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Have had a spam culling session. Why would buying underpants lead someone to believe I wanted to hear from them every damn day. It's a once in a decade purchase.

No matter what he does to distract us, he still hung out with a convicted paedophile and likely participated in his parties. If only there was a set of documents that might shed light on the matter. #EpsteinFiles

Getting a bit het up about what is and isn't creative, what with Badenoch's nonsense. So I just want to get it off my chest. There is beauty and creativity in music, painting, literature, quantum mechanics, synthetic chemistry, evolutionary biology, history, physics... you get the picture.

Are you trying to suggest that the shutdown is a distractionary tactic to avoid releasing the Epstein Files? Hmmm. Interesting. You might be on to something. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles.

I no longer wish to visit the US. Too many absolute c....s who are happy to elect a brain dead paedophile as president then sit and cheer as he proves himself to be an absolute <> himself, again, at the UN. I fear as a Brit we'll be here soon but Christ it's embarrassing to be American right now.
