Congratulations Nige and Andy, and the knuckle-dragging troglodytes of Clacton!! Who would have thought a bucket of raw sewage could beat a dustbin!! 😜
The good people of Clacton have the opportunity to vote for a dustbin or a bucket of raw sewage. We can only hope that they will make the correct choice this time. 🤞
This also happened in the UK, when David Bull, a presenter on the far-right propaganda channel GBNews, affixed a feminine hygiene product to his ear as a gesture of solidarity with Trump, following his phoney 'assassination attempt'.
To the cowardly draft-dodging lump of excrement, who describes his own brave war dead as 'suckers and losers': UK personnel killed in Afghanistan fighting alongside our US allies number 454,with 2000 + wounded, many severely. In Iraq, 179 killed, 3598 wounded. Josh Leakey's VC citation says it all.
Hurrah for the Blackshirts! - today's Daily Mail echoes its 1934 pro-Nazi stance. Is this assault on Britain's democracy treasonable?
Personality of the Year 2025. The Horse that gave Trump a very special salute during the State Visit to the UK
Has anyone else noticed the remarkable resemblance between Stephen Miller and the late Adolf Eichmann? Could they be related?
Try explaining that to this nugget who wore a tampon on his ear on UK's far-right TalkTV to show solidarity with the 'wounded' Trump!
Is it my imagination, or is the tasteless and tacky bling in the Oval Office multiplying on a regular basis? When are the slot machines and roulette tables scheduled to arrive?

Plus ça change... meet the Hamilton bottle, designed by William Hamilton bottle to contain carbonated mineral waters in 1814!
Thanks for the follow. Lovely dog - what's his/her name? This is Ryan and Bridie (Ryan's the tan lurcher).
I hope his cold gets better. There are so many beautiful walks around here. Unfortunately, as I can no longer drive, we have to depend on an unreliable bus service!
'One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can.' William Wordsworth (1770-1850). Watercolour by Robert Hills (1769-1844).
In 1933, after the Reichstag Fire, Hitler, as Chancellor, persuaded President von Hindenburg to issue a decree suspending habeas corpus and other civil liberties. This led to an Enabling Act giving the government absolute power and was a key step in the establishment of a totalitarian regime.
