AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Watch how Argentina graciously accept that they were outplayed by a better team in the World Cup Final and applaud their opponents for their efforts. Oh hang on ...

Squeezy John@johnspiers· 23d

Nice to see the tradition of World Cup finals being played on pitches with the most inexplicably confusing shadows that you literally never see at any football match anywhere else. I can just see Maradona disappearing in one of these beauties!

Now that the England football team has done what the England football team does ... there's only one person that can save the summer for our woebegone country:

Oh dear ... this poll on the Daily Mail website isn't going as well for Nigel Farage as they might have hoped. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

"Good ruck kid!"

Will it be Reform paying for this by-election though? Or will it be a crypto-billionaire in Thailand or a convicted criminal called Posh George?

A tweet from Nigel Farage … reading I have spoken to the CEO of Tendring District Council. Reform has offered to cover the cost of the by-election.
I will be writing to Rachel Reeves later today with the same message.
Given that we asked for this by-election in the first place, it's only right that we pay for it.

Quick advert time ... I'm off on tour with my mates in the Gigspanner Big Band this week to kick off our summer dates. f not a gloriously sunny festival, then I'm reliably assured that it will be a lovely air-conditioned theatre or thick-walled ancient church!!! Ticket links johnspiers.co.uk/shows

A picture of the Gigspanner Big Band playing live with prominent banjo, slide guitar, melodeon and Peter Knight singing. The text reads: "The kind of re-enchantment which only comes from top-class musicians with a deep understanding of their material. Simply remarkable" 5 stars from R2 magazine. Tour dates 7th July Oxford Playhouse, 8th July Stroud Sub Rooms, 9th July Hailsham Pavilion, 10th July Deal Arts Festival, 11th July The Cut Halesworth, 12th July Ely Folk Festival, 5th August Sidmouth Folk Week.

I don’t understand how it would be possible to leave the EU any more than we already have … and given that it’s cost us 6% of our GDP I’m not sure how wise it would be to seek any more of it!!!

If we’re swapping graphics … here’s the one that really matters.

Just a reminder of all the things Keir Starmer promised Labour Party members back in 2020 as he wrestled power from Jeremy Corbyn … many of these core pledges have been completely broken since becoming Prime Minister.

I've never seen this one before! Are they just admitting defeat now?

Genuine road sign saying "Failed Road Surface" in white letters on a red background.

Well that will help everyone get to sleep on a stiflingly hot summer’s weekday night. Thanks … military pricks!!! (They’ve been going round in circles doing this for the last hour or so)

You do realise that this story is talking about Ireland right?

indigenous
adjective
Add to word list :=
used to refer to the people who originally lived in a place, rather than people who moved there from somewhere else, or to things that relate to these people:

From Southport to Southampton. For a second summer in a row Nigel Farage has made a racially incendiary speech following a tragedy whipping up his racist thugs to descend on the innocent neighbourhoods and riot. His dog whistles should be punished. And we should call them Farage Riots.

Man! You know the Cowley Road is getting middle aged when …

The view from a side street on to the once “happening” Cowley Road in Oxford … a discarded Gaviscon bottle sits on a window sill at the side.

Firkling (vb) - to use your hands to gently rootle around in the soil around potato plants in the hope of finding an early harvest of baby new potatoes without digging the whole thing up.

Some freshly dug little new potatoes in a trug with some broad bean pods.

Whit Monday at Bampton and a rare chance to hear Jinky Wells’ fiddle being played for a dance. Wells is the recorded source for the Bampton dance tunes. It was given back to the village last year and has been gently restored and will be on display in the village archive next to the library.

Why the hell would Moscow bother hacking Farage’s phone when he’s had a Batman-style hotline to the Kremlin for the last 20 years???

Well I know which way the Super Furry Animals are voting in the latest EFDSS ballot!

Just found this photo!!! 👀👀

John Spiers, Tim Van Eyken and Saul Rose looking incredibly young. They’re wearing suits and ties in a field around this time of year and posing with their melodeon bellows all extended.

Socialism.

A large tree that has grafted itself on to a smaller tree by two branches. The smaller tree has been cut off from its roots but both trees are still alive because the larger one is supplying all the water and nutrients the smaller one with no roots needs via the common branches.

Happy World Bee Day from my allotment ... this one is enjoying my broad bean plants! #Allotment #WorldBeeDay

6/7 It devalues antisemitism in a world where there are actual racists against all Jews by conflating that with political disagreement with the current Israeli government. The same papers who decry Zack Polanski as antisemitic portray him as a Nazi era cartoon Jew. (Times, Mail, Telegraph, Sun)

At dawn this morning in Oxford on there was the annual territorial battle of singing between the humans and the birds … this year I think the bird’s tree just shaved it! #MayMorning

There is literally no way Keir Starmer can win the next election because it happens in about 3 weeks time. This from the same people that claimed that anyone else apart from Jeremy Corbyn's Labour would be 30 points ahead in the polls when he was beating Theresa May .... they have run out of road

Squeezy John@johnspiers· Apr 23

Just got this advert on YouTube ... ... no ... Jesus Christ NO ... are you mental?

Squeezy John@johnspiers· Apr 23

I can't wait for Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson to demand that we deport thick violent white men because their culture is incompatible with our British values and that they're all child rapists.

6/6 and imagine the wonders of seeing the dirty kebab/pizza/chicken shops actually open with their lights on … or being able to stay in a Wetherspoons long enough for it to be dark when I leave. Sigh! I check the smart meter and notice it’s gone up another £50 … England … my England!
