The thing about criminals - in particular stupid, venal, lying, manipulative, racist, sex-offending, democracy-defying, corrupt, fraudulent criminals - is that they are seldom as clever or persuasive as they think they are. And they eventually find that they can’t buy justice.

You can be arrested for throwing a milkshake at Nigel Farage. But not for dumping billions of litres of shit in the Thames.

The BBC: The far right are making gains in Europe. Should we be worried? Also the BBC: Here's Nigel Farage for the 45th time this week explaining why refugees want to come over here & fuck your cat

🛑Record backlogs in the Crown Court 🛑Cases collapsing daily for lack of staff and resources 🛑Delays of 5 years for rape cases to come to trial 🛑Prisons overflowing 🛑Chronic shortages of courts, judges, police, prosecutors, lawyers & court staff 🛑Laughably soft on crime

Where to bloody start? There isn't enough British food to buy because the crass, malformed, malignant clown-show of Brexit that you promoted, has undermined food production, courtesy of ill-thought out subsidies. Plus, brexit-driven border controls have stymied imports.

When you watched Johnson lie every fucking day, you had no power. When you found out the Tories gave billions to their mates, you had no power. When your mortgage increased because of that useless twat Truss, you had no power. Tomorrow you have power. Use it #GeneralElection

6 Chancellors in 6 years. 6 Health Secretaries in 5. 9 Education Secretaries in 9. If they were a Head Teacher, their school would be in Special Measures. If they ran a branch of a bank, they’d be under arrest. A disgraceful rabble unfit for office: take them away!

Since Britain last went to the polls * Partygate * Boris Johnson lying to Parliament * Mishandling of the pandemic * Matt Hancock and his aide * PPE failures * VIP lanes * Gavin Williamson * Nadine Dorries as Culture Secretary * Suella Braverman’s “invasion” *

A courageous and selfless decision. The President did what he’s done for the last four years - he listened to the American people and put the country’s interests ahead of his own. The exact opposite of Donald Trump.

A great decision by Joe Biden. He has many things he should be justly proud of - particularly in his economic record. All eyes now on the Democrats to find a great future President. An incredibly important decision and the correct one. 🙏

Best news!! Now the Democrats have a chance of winning as Biden was never going to get re-elected…Trump will be furious!! 🤣🎉

My uncle is panicking. He’s running against a strong Black woman—and a former prosecutor—who isn’t afraid to call him out or mock him. His whole campaign strategy was based around attacking Joe Biden—his age, his infirmity, his cognitive decline. It was all projection, of course,

“Not to have control of our water is insane” - 3 cheers for Stephen Fry on #bbclaurak. Taking our broken water system away from reckless profiteers & putting back into public hands is vital step. But the enforcement regime is broken too - it needs more resources & sharper teeth

I’m a doctor originally from Afghanistan who is now proudly serving people of all backgrounds in NHS. Despite the fear of violence against my faith & background, I won't be intimated. UK is my home & I will continue to help anyone who needs it. We shouldn't give in to racism.

I’ve actually witnessed people on here confidently stating that Jeremy Clarkson, a 64 year old man and ex smoker who smoked 40 cigarettes a day for 43 years, had to have heart surgery because he’s had the Covid vaccination. Never underestimate the stupidity on this website.

News flash: On Tuesday night, regardless of what the vote tallies say, Trump will declare victory.  He will claim the only reason he may lose is “vote stealing.” Undermining the legitimacy of an election is how demagogues destroy faith in democracy. Kamala for President.

This platform has become such a toxic mess, so I’m moving to Bluesky, and I would encourage all decent & reasonable people to do the same… 🙏
