A short but fascinating illustration of why we should never hand essential infrastructure to private industry. What this vid doesn’t say is that in the south, a number of reservoirs have actually been sold off since privatisation. Bring Water back under public ownership!

If you believe the BBC was wrong to air this party political broadcast without first reviewing the content, here’s the link to lodge a complaint. www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

Couple of weeks ago.

Is this a good temp for a workout with my personal trainer? Holly shitballs. No. No it is not.

Exceptional fact checking by the team over at FULL FACT. Shame this can’t be done in real time by the broadcasters.

In case you needed a (very cute!) reminder that the hatred of far right politics is taught, here’s a short video. Don’t hate. It’s not very British.

Superb. Worth a minute of your time.

Well, I’m a bit of a Depeche Mode fan. Black Celebration and Music for the Masses were both excellent. I’ll go with Black Celebration.

AI has its uses - I don’t care what they say!

It’s a shame that as Bluesky has grown, it has attracted bots, crazies, and arseholes like this individual. Easy block. “Leftist” my arse. Just evidence-free, nasty clickbait. I share so you, too, can block :)

The world is depressing, my health is depressing, and the weather is depressing. If four cupcakes and a few episodes of Stargate SG:1 can’t cheer me up, nothing can!! 😂

Europe now targeted in the face of Starmer’s decision to support the US in their unlawful wars. (Whole video - not a link)

The US press briefing put me in mind of something - can’t quite put my finger on it.

Real scenes from the Pentagon. #OperationEpicFury #FuckTrump

It’s neck and neck * * some necks are longer than others.

Now THIS is worth watching. Great job by the Economist. #epstein #epsteinfiles

This is what awaits the US at the midterm elections. They’re so comfortable in their positions that they’re not even trying to hide it any longer.

Braverman - who believes homelessness is a lifestyle choice & pro-Palestinian protests were hate marches - is about as universally unpopular as it gets for a politician. 2023 on the left, current on the right. Strange choice for Reform. Signed, a tofu-eating wokerati ;)

Scary. The “President” of the United States believes he’s so all-powerful that only his conscience can stop him.

In case you somehow believe yesterday was an isolated incident or that ICE is somehow justified. This makes me so damn angry.

This really is worth watching - 90 seconds of your time. ICE - the USA’s Gestapo - has shit and killed before, and each time they’re in court they lie. vm.tiktok.com/ZGdmD81Be/

All I’m saying is you never see Donald Trump and Baron Bomburst (from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) in the same room.

Happy New Year to you all. I hope you all have a brilliant 2026.

Last day of entertaining today. Good job too as my social battery is just about empty. We also left my least favourite to last….. Stuff upper lip, eh? 😬
