Stop what you are doing. Watch this. Chris Patten - daring to tell you the truth in 2 minutes about the ocean of shit we are in. #bbcqt
Deathwish | Official Music Video🔴 This is a protest. This is a protest. This is a protest. This is a protest. This is a protest.
A huge thank you to everybody supporting the tactical vote campaign by sharing stopthetories.vote The website has been created by unpaid volunteers who are putting blood, sweat and tears into this with only one aim, to unseat a Tory. Let’s get those fuckers out.
The first direct observation of gravitational waves captured the merging of 2 black holes which emitted 36 septillion yottawatts of power (3.6×10⁴⁹ watts), greater than the combined power of all light radiated by all the stars in the observable universe ow.ly/JGIh30mudbE
A reminder: * COVID is airborne. * Herd immunity did not happen. * Omicron was not mild. * Kids do get sick. * Transmission does occur in schools. * Each variant is not milder. * No wave has been an exit wave. Minimizers have been wrong about every single one of those things..🦠
As news outlets report the prospect of blackouts, whilst letting the government off the hook and repeating their lies, here’s my take on the intense lowlights of the Tory Conference 2022. Give us a General Election. Now.
A reminder that an ‘empleomaniac’ is someone desperate to hold on to power, no matter what the cost.
The Royal Family could have easily funded this funeral with the money they pay no tax on, but chose to let the taxpayer pay for it during a cost of living crisis and the entire country is on its knees. These are the people that everybody respects and reveres so much?
Perhaps the Royalists could go and tug their forelocks in The Queue for 24 hours, once for every pace, (in the manner of pilgrims at, say, Santiago de Compostela) and leave those of us who think the whole thing is a grotesquery alone?
Interesting how St James’ Palace, the seat of the British monarchy until Victoria Hanover moved it, is much more modest in comparison with Buckingham Palace. If Charles Mountbatten-Windsor wants to show how progressive he is, the first thing he could do could be to move it back.
It is not an insult to the Queen's memory to question why anyone achieves a position of influence and constitutional privilege in 2022 by accident of birth.

Ayam Cemani is an uncommon and relatively modern breed of chicken from Indonesia. They have a dominant gene that causes hyperpigmentation (Fibromelanosis), making the chicken entirely black; including feathers, beak, meat, bones, and internal organs buff.ly/2GEwTQZ
If they gave out a Nobel Prize for lying, this Leave video from the 2016 Brexit referendum would obliterate the competition and walk away with it. The video is so wide of the mark, you can literally use it as a checklist of everything that went wrong.
People are reaching their limit… I’d guess that woman has never done that before, it took enormous courage. She’s incredible. This the reality, every word of anger and pain. Steve Barclay and the entire Tory party need to see it and hear it.

@Otto_English Boris Johnson & Nigel Farage have a lot to answer for. They & their fellow Brexiteers have screwed this country into the ground. All those lies & empty promises.
@Otto_English @JohnWest_JAWS The utterly infuriating thing is so many of us said this crash would happen, and had to stand and watch this crash happen in slow motion. Everything we said would happen. And now our children will have to pay. I want to see Tories in prison. And they are not “decent” people.
@Otto_English In 2016 the public were told that a vote for Brexit would mean a lower standard of living. Many scoffed at that proposition. Here we have Pattern saying Sunak & Starmer must level with the public and tell them to expect a lower standard of living for the next several *years.
@Otto_English You don’t have to agree with his politics - he was almost Chancellor under Thatcher but lost his seat in the GE - but he is from an era when senior Tory MPs were people of substance. Not like the preening, talentless martinets we’ve had for the last few governments.
@Otto_English Chris Patten is a Tory, and is disagreeing with where the party is today. The unspoken narrative is that today’s Tory party are no longer Tory. They are a far-right rabble who have hijacked the party.
@Otto_English A sad measure of the extent to which the centre has moved to the Right is when those I once thought enemies are become almost (but not quite) allies.

@cbrookmyre The problem is, of course, that it was not 'handed over'. They took it by force which in my opinion changes the equation. People are asked to pay homage to the inbred descendants of robber barons.
Imagine there had never been a monarchy. Anywhere. Now imagine trying to sell the idea that the role of head of state, with all its power and privilege, should be handed in perpetuity to a single family of inbred mediocrities.
Our country is broken. Everywhere you go. Motorways with huge dangerous potholes. Hours to wait for basic treatment. People dying in ambulances. Teacher shortage Nurse shortage Doctor shortage Carer shortage. Low wages Nothing works. Vote the Tories out on May 4th.
All those stories you keep hearing about people getting shot doing mundane shit? Well hear ya go.
A huge thank you to everybody supporting the tactical vote campaign by sharing stopthetories.vote The website has been created by unpaid volunteers who are putting blood, sweat and tears into this with only one aim, to unseat a Tory. Let’s get those fuckers out.
Nurses work 12hr shifts; sell their days off; use food banks; pay £1300 a year to park. And 40,000 have left their jobs in a year. Tory MPs sit for 150 days; get subsidised food; claim travel & energy on expenses; get free parking & £2,200 pay rises. Back the nurses please.
