Churchill has only been on the £5 note for 9 years.

People on the right are absolutely insane - but I thank them for boosting sales of Fake History which is currently a very affordable £5.95 on all good and bad websites...

If he’s bothered to examine green levies at all he certainly doesn’t care, because he’s been getting big bucks from the dirty fuel companies.

Basically business as usual since 1999. I’ll never forget in 2016 when he was asked what the plan for brexit was ‘first we’ll have a big party, then think about it after’. Like all those on the far right they don’t have any plans, it’s just whinging it and deporting non white people.

Complaining about & blaming Keir Starmer for a long-scheduled, still uncertain, six month distant increase in fuel prices literally *hours* after calling for more war in the Middle East is quite the flex. These are not serious people.

I suspect because the Americans don’t have a monarchy to gush over, like the Brits, they have to find substitutes- I suppose flag worship is one of them. But Americans are also brainwashed from their first day in school into myths about America.

Thing is Brian, I’m a global creature- born in the West
Midlands into a Polish Community, lived in Hong Kong & Singapore & Seattle. I don’t have real roots and I don’t feel nationalism. I adapt to wherever I’m living and I love the differences and the languages and the people.

Town hall where I’m living flies both a Saltire and a union flag. I’m happy. In England, if I had to visit someone flying a Union Jack in the garden I’d immediately assume they were a stupid, Faragist flag-shagger. If I had to visit someone flying a Saltire I’d be worried they might pitchfork me 😂

Farage will say whatever suits the moment, he has no actual principles or plan. He believes his followers are too stupid to notice as long as he’s racist enough.

Noticed how the #DailyMail has become increasingly pro-American & pro-Trump? Well, guess what - the #MailOnline has discovered it can get far more lucrative advertising revenue from America, so it pays to have a pro-American stance. Screw its British readers & their interests! American money talks!

Russia preparing the legal framework for global military action.

A new bill would allow Putin to deploy Russian forces outside Russia’s borders to “protect Russian citizens
abroad.”

Same pretext used in Crimea.

Same language used before Georgia.

Same playbook again

Next time you see Reform UK member Steven Barrett being smug as a pundit on GB News, pretending to br ‘change’ don’t forget this was him a year ago. A failed Tory councillor.

It’s what you get when you appoint TV personalities and some girls a dirty old man fancies, to government posts.

No.

Failing to apologise means your country IS immoral.

This isn’t about optics.

Is 2026 the end of the line for this tyrant? He is DYING! He certainly seems in a hurry to create a lot of havoc on the world stage and the awareness of his demise would explain a lot. He wants to go out with a bang! But let's hope he does not become a martyr. When he dies, the cult dies with him.

He raped and molested young girls and women.
He killed nearly 200 young girls and woman with a bomb.
He’s lied about both.

America you need to get your act together to rid your country and the World of this evil man and his helpers.

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.

Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

We all know Trump is a coward, but the one thing that I think spooks him the most isn't his bad polling numbers, it's when the markets begin to crash and his billionaire donors start yelling at him.

He can't scream "fake news" at that.
