I have an envelope ready to post this unwanted garbage piece of fascist propaganda back to Reform UK which dropped through the letterbox today. Can someone let me know their Freepost address?

For the benefit of Mr keridavies.bsky.social, I already posted a solution to the BBC's conundrum about #TheArchers recording studio. However, please sign do the petition: www.change.org/p/keep-the-a...

I know Worcester isn't Birmingham but arguably Worcestershire is a better choice as it's the county "Borsetshire" is based on. I mention this as I've a spare bedroom which I'm happy to the let the BBC use to record #TheArchers from Best of all I'm just up the road from The Old Bull in Inkberrow.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! The BBC reporting this as some kind of real thing. What happened to critical thinking? Complete bullshit from elon musk. Just like the hyperloop, full self-driving, colonising Mars, etc. It will never happen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

It's so unfair that the Environment Agency hampers the profiteering - sorry, I meant "work" - of poor little water companies for the trivial matter of polluting rivers, beaches and waterways. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The Tories will scrap the Environment Agency. Who needs healthy beaches, eh?

So, the Tories want to scrap the Environment Agency and Natural England. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... A perfectly sensible suggestion. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? #pollution #environmentalVandalism #DestructionOfGreenBelt #LossOfWildlife #Flooding They must think we're idiots.

The image in Kennedy's post was clearly altered using AI. I'm am not at all surprised. Here was the original image! #brainWorms

These freaks never seem to eat kimchi, the objectively superior fermented cabbage product that appears to be surpassing sauerkraut in popularity among Actual Real Americans.

Monthly team "social" meeting where everyone's forbidden to talk about work. Just chat and we play some kind of game. The person tasked with this month's game had asked AI to create a music picture quiz. "Guess the artist" Piss-poor images. "That's The Beatles. Er... all five of them" 😆

I am delighted that James Cleverly has decided to stand as a London Mayoral candidate. I listened to an interview with him this morning on BBC Radio 4. The man's a complete buffoon. His pitch is, apparently, more cars and more pollution. A sure fire strategy if ever I heard one.

Pleased to see Tories are still incapable of learning the lesson that “ending the war on motorists” is not an election winning stance in London, which has the highest walking & cycling rates, lowest car ownership & best public transport of anywhere in Britain. It’s like they don’t know any of this

🚲 Do you take your e-bike on the Merseyrail network? #Merseyfail has banned non-folding e-bikes from its trains and stations. We asked Merseyrail to meet and share the evidence, they said no. We’re challenging the ban via our Cyclists’ Defence Fund. Help us bin the ban: cyclinguk.org/merseyfail

For those with short memories, we said the same kind of thing during the Reagan era and through Bushes Snr and Jnr, and Trump's 1st term. What on earth makes you think America is suddenly going to radically change the direction it's been going in for decades? Relying on hope won't make it happen.

People will talk about Trumps time in office as one of the darkest times in American history for years to come.

OK, I haven't read *all* the The Archers' messages. But of the few I have read they fail to point out that Harrison is old enough to be Lilly's dad. Have I fallen through a wormhole in space (AKA the Archers script writers' universe) or is that now no longer worthy of a raised eyebrow? #ambridge
