Global warming is a "hoax." But it's killing everyone.

Sir James Dyson says Brexit was worth it – even if it’s made people poorer Britain’s fourth-wealthiest man has argued it is better to be ‘independent’ than tied to the EU

Brexit: the unforgivably selfish arseholery of those who lied about what it really meant for the country while dodging the cost, hassle and restrictions they inflicted on everyone else.

Lewis Goodall, "This is Elon Musk, turning up at a far right rally, basically inciting violence in this country"

"Most people in this country have no desire to go there, or look at it, or have any interest in that sort of rhetoric"

"And yet, we are being pushed and pushed and pushed towards it"

I agree with #EdDavey:

“The facts don’t lie. The BBC is fuelling Reform’s rise by plastering Farage across our screens without providing the proper scrutiny the public deserves. We need the BBC to live up to its promise of accurate and impartial coverage that represents the whole of the UK...”

EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR by Our Apocalypse Staff HELENA HANDCART THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode. It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services, not to mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed). Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).

No one sums up the utter shamelessness of the British press and the ugly politics of Farage quite like Private Eye.

"How much does it cost for fascism?

"How much do the taxpayers have to pay for a fascist country?"

Republican Rep Flood was EVISCERATED at his town hall today in Nebraska.

Every. Damn. Word.

It says a lot about where we're going that the BBC is now running stories in which they ask lifeboat crews whether they will apologise for using their boats to save lives

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Be the human you hope someone will be to you in your time of need...PERIOD!!!

Yet there was not an iota of understanding or sympathy for the legions of people peacefully protesting the genocide in Gaza, who are now being roundly labelled ‘terrorists.’ Why is it only ever the fash who have ‘legitimate’ concerns?
