I like some stuff. I hate some stuff. There's some stuff I don't have any strong opinions on. I particularly like Sunderland AFC and my bikes.

Totally agree, then let the others do likewise.
Thames Water asks creditors for another £2.4bn. Up to 30% of TW revenue covers financial costs. Debt spiral deepens problems, it borrowed to pay dividends. Hedge funds funding TW, hoping to asset-strip, hike bills, govt bailout. Let it go bust. Nationalise permanently.

This a million times. People of colour being dragged on to debate maniacs about imaginary labels & race science is an abomination. proper ‘how German are you’ Nazi shit Note that people like me with white migrant parentage never asked to defend our identity Englishness. Is. A. Made. Up. Thing
Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

If you think a distinct sub category of human exists because some medieval warlords agreed that the border of England should be on the River Tweed, you are, Im afraid, an absolute maniac bsky.app/profile/theh...
England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

While rightwing media nods approvingly at the prejudiced outcry in Piddington, a RNLI station has to close because of white British thuggery and threats. This is where the constantly toxic obsession with immigration leads. To racist, flag-wielding vigilantism that ruins this country for everyone.

@warrenoates1.bsky.social who’d have thought eh Warren, apparently, all the media and financial institutions are ‘surprised’ 🤔 So that’d be each month of this year they’ve been ‘surprised’ or is that another word for being found out as liars that forced a PM and CX out rebuilding the country.

I’ve been wondering this. Sadiq Khan gets massive grief about ‘lawless London’ even though its crime rate is relatively low. Middlesbrough has the highest crime rate in the UK but nobody points the finger at Ben Houchen.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social why is Lord Ben Houchen, Metro Mayor of Tees Valley, not being asked about the ongoing problems in his area? www.private-eye.co.uk/in-the-back
There are people yammering on that the govt need to consider building reservoirs. No doubt Burnham will be announcing this next week. www.gov.uk/government/n...

If a working family has to claim beneifits we are subsidising employers.
Ending superrich bosses Government subsidies and making them pay decent wages and fair share of taxes is a better way of ending poverty than cutting minimum wages or reducing worker rights "The outrageous reason employees receive benefits is they're not being paid enough" via The UK Against Hate
