I grew up Catholic & went to parochial schools , but am now an atheist . Anyone advocating for putting religion/ Bible in schools needs to listen. Our kids don’t need religion.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

“While each of us (voted Brexit) for different reasons, we all believed that the UK could do a better job of running its own affairs than *unelected officials* in Brussels could." Ben Houchen... November 2020 Six years later 👇👇👇

The slithering back to even vaguely positive or optimistic analyses of Trump’s second term after the abominations of January 6th cleared the way for today’s abject betrayal of the Ukrainian people. It’s astonishing how many public figures on both sides of the Atlantic are complicit in the crime.

I have Bowie,Kraftwerk & loads of other vinyl albums that are 50+ years old.... yet this seems like it was much more recent to me based on my life then, where I lived etc when it was released. It CAN'T be 45 years old! Time is a weird construct!

45 years ago today, The Human League released their third studio album “Dare” featuring singles “The Sound of the Crowd" “Love Action (I Believe in Love)" “Open Your Heart" “Don't You Want Me" and “The Things That Dreams Are Made Of"

Of course there have never been any proven links between members of the Reform Party and Putin's Russia. Surely it would be a 'lie' to make such a suggestion. Oh.

Zelensky says Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers were followed by a noticeable drop in bot activity across social media. “There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations, because there were fewer bots,” he said, adding that it was “pretty clear” where they came from. #Ukraine

Since UKIP & the Brexit Party, Nigel Farage has relied on Russian bots to amplify social media support, but, oh dear ... "Reform UK supporting accounts have almost gone silent after Ukraine hit a few of Russia’s big data centres" via Karen Maunder

You can kill as many people as you want, but you target a beautiful precious data center? The one that hosted all 40,000 Sexy Ladies For Ken Paxton accounts?

Aren’t they all repulsive… These corrupt, evil, traitorous men… Farage is particularly pathetic, in his little cap, selling us out to his monstrous sugar-daddy.
