The political satire that i see online on SNL is very funny. Hope it can work in UK as there’s not been much since Spitting Image’s ‘Rest is B*t’

Problem solved.. lol :D

Also a potential solution for people who ramble aimlessly away under the pretext of asking a question .. 😆

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Sickening, especially in light of this.. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

That these weapons exist, that the US is selling them to Israel, that Israel is using them, and that the rest of the world is doing nothing - so many levels of inhumanity and evil.

Ignore the smears: I was never a close friend of Peter Mandelson. And I fully understand the lessons we must learn Wes Streeting

This is the funniest headline I seen in a long time. And bravo to whoever underlined the desperation with the juxtaposed link.

Why Starmer's Epstein scandal is worse than the media says YouTube video by Declassified UK

That’s me done with the Labour Party. Unless they change the entire Israeli-infused / Morgan McSweeney rot that we call a Cabinet and boot out that 2-faced insipid snake Starmer, then my vote will go Green.

Ban Hidden Power in the UK An app to help Ban Hidden Power in the UK

Use this app to write a letter to your MP asking them to ban hidden power and foreign influence in the UK as it continues to erode and weaken our democracy..

I feel this way about the use of X as the main communications route for lots of companies.

Transport are particularly bad for this - train going to be cancelled? Find out on X. Lost your bag? Contact us on X.

You shouldn't have to sign up to a digital platform to engage with the physical world.

I totally agree with this.. it’s a bug bear that I still have to have a Twitter account to contact many companies about customer related issues - they respond quicker via a public platform than they do to emails or contact forms.

I think it’s time to fire Sir Alan, who is coming across as deeply unpleasant and unnecessarily rude in this dying desperate gasp of sinking flagship show #TheApprentice

And it’s everywhere  - I’m still asking myself how I switch the f*ng thing off

It’s so intrusive - and it’s worrying to see so many professional bodies embrace it as if it’s another thing to adapt to in order to stay relevant. I’d like to see a bit of Luddite pushback on this

Yes.. 🤞 It’s about time the UK stood up to these poisonous bullies

The UK should be doing the same. It’s unbelievable how slow organisations are in finding an alternative channel to this sewer and I’m p*d off that I still have to use Twitter for customer service issues.

That sucks. Train crew should have been more sympathetic. Hope you got to your destination eventually and that your future journeys aren’t so awful.

A post from Catherine's Giving Page Many thanks to all those who have donated so generously so far. It is really massively appreciated. My aim was to do 10K / or 400 lengths in my local pool and as we head into the final week of Novem...

I’m raising money for Cancer Research - by swimming 10 km in November. I’ve just got another 2km to go, so if you feel like making a small donation, here’s the link below.

Spitting Image episodes removed from YouTube in legal battle - British Comedy Guide Five episodes of Spitting Image Presents: The Rest Is Bulls*!t have been removed from the internet as the legal battle with the rights holders to Paddington Bear intensifies.

For what it’s worth, I’m really enjoying this latest revival of the show. Don’t let it be censored.

Interesting UK-based site tracking and recording Trump’s increasingly authoritarian actions since Jan 2025..

That’s why I don’t borrow from PLs either (high five) - shame really as I feel there’s more choice than what’s available on Borrow Box.

This is incredibly disappointing.. I was looking forward to seeing the film too. You’d think Penguin would do their research first before publishing it. #TheSaltPath

2 And what is is with these weird cinematic quality like ‘comedic / interview’ videos that crop up in my feed. Stop being so facetious & just FO 😤

3 And why have news & click bait headlines in social media gone into doomsday overdrive?

I detest AI

1. How it intrusively features in search engine & I can’t seem to switch it off without making an epic journey into settings. DuckDuckGo seems to be the only SE that hasn’t followed the trend.

Depressed at the growing tide of garish turquoise spreading across England. I blame an insipid Labour leadership for this mess. Unless they change direction, Labour will lose more votes & Reform will almost certainly take areas in Wales too 😫

Sign the Petition Prevent the Relocation of Our Public Library in Llandudno

It seems that the historic Llandudno Library is in danger of being relocated to an ‘unpopular’ location…. Sign this petition against the council’s shortsighted plan.
