When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about β€˜sovereignty’ and β€˜taking back control’.
Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line.
They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.

Anyone who wants Britain to join the war in Iran needs their head examined They don't know what they want to achieve, why they're doing it or what the consequences might be. They are lost in the void.

Gabriel plays it, God how he plays it Heaven up here, a magic button pushed, 100dB, 100% loud & absurd

Last week, I heard Heaven through my ears as audiology finally sorted out my hearing aids. Deafness has really got me down, it feels like a punishment for years of stupid loud behaviour. Wrote about (half) getting a sense back + as always, God bless the NHS. open.substack.com/pub/acloudab...

the scumbag trying to tear al green's sign out of his hands is texas rep. troy nehls, a former sheriff, who afterwards asked the president to sign his tie like he was a beatle.

"Keep your side of the road clean." In a world of dolourous news, all you can do is find one small thing - then try to fix it. And so me and the British Society of Magazine Editors are launching this - to find the next generation of writers AND PAY THEM. Screw you, AI. We still believe in writing.

Political people love to debate who the worst modern PM in modern times was but it's unquestionably Cameron.

10 years ago this week he gambled the prosperity and fragile unity of the UK on a referendum on an issue that most people didn't even understand to placate back benchers and fucked us all.
