For some reason whenever I hear the name Tommy Robinson, I am reminded that his most famous hit was “sing if you’re glad to be gay. Sing if you’re happy that way”. Which makes me think he can’t be all bad 😊
And maybe its time to bring these guys back. I'm old enough to remember the first time around and how exhilarating it was to go the concerts organised under the slogan "Rock Against Racism". The enemy then was the National Front. Then they became the British National Party. Now they are Reform.
Apparently, prime ministers do not normally resign after terrible council election results. So why is Starmer expected to do so?
George Carlin once said “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups." It was a prophetic warning.
It seems Orban may have been acting as Putin's "purse" by transferring Kremlin money to right wing parties across Europe (including the UK of course)
Interesting that today's press in the UK focuses on how poorly funded the UK military is, despite the UK defence budget being the 6th highest in the world. The problem, it seems, is that a lot of UK spending is on weapons it cannot use (nuclear)
Bloody foreigners, coming over here in their small boats and teaching us how to speak English ..
I think you’ll find the Daily Mail is the same publication that thought Hitler was a good guy and the jews were “pouring into this country” back in the 1930’s.
I'm assuming that one of the pledges any future democratic candidate for the White House will have to make to voters is to demolish this monstrosity, re-instate the previous building, and send the bill for both to Trump.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social Have you noticed how Reforms slogan "Reform will fix it" looks very similar to that of a disgraced sex offender? Shurly shume mishtake?
Has anyone else noticed that Reforms election campaign slogan “reform will fix it” looks suspiciously like the slogan of disgraced sex offender Jimmy Saville? Are they hoping to appeal to sex offenders ?
This image should be shown to every serviceman and woman in the British military, and their families. Voting reform insults their service and their sacrifices.
Sadly, the attempt to distract the world’s press and congress’s attention from the Epstein files by killing lots of people in the Middle East seems to have worked so far. Whether it will work for the mid terms is another thing of course.
