John 3:17: "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world."

You forget how close we are to Essex out here until you see a decor like this

What yr da calls Jeremy Corbyn whenever he mentions him these days.

A grid photo of 16 different characters all played by the legend Tim Curry.

Tim Curry, the absolute legend, turns 80 today. This man took huge swings.

there's some seriously dark humour in the IRGC coordinating antisemitic hate crimes around the globe & getting absolutely no credit because people are so keen to blame the victims

An Iran-linked group has claimed responsibility for *all* the recent series of arson attacks against British synagogues and Jewish groups – including the ambulance attack.

The story should be bigger full stop. But how is this aspect of it barely mentioned? It seems *bizarre*.

In case you’re confused - the £100k of tax Richard Tice failed to pay here is totally different to the
- £92k of tax not properly withheld on dividends
- the £600k side-stepped via highly aggressive tax avoidance
Industrial scale grifting revealed by @danneidle.bsky.social and Gabriel Pogrund

5. If this is, as I suspect, online recruitment by Iranian agents, then we should be alert to escalations. The classic escalation path is graffiti to arson to murder. They seem to be skipping the graffiti this time.

Can confirm the reports of an arson attempt at Kenton United Synagogue. Overnight, HAYI social channels began claiming an attack on a London synagogue without specifying location.

Early reports coming in of another arson attack on a Synagogue in Britain last night - this time Kenton United Synagogue.

This the third attempted firebombing of a Jewish building in London this week.

Reports of a third attempted arson attack on Jewish targets in North London this week. It's getting really scary and more people need to start taking it seriously.

You've made a lot of men very happy on a Saturday night responding to this.

lol fucking hell

Fucking love railways man

It's all good fibre optic

Hell yeah brother

Would you rather be a) mighty hawk or b) beloved family dog?

When you next in London?

What part of your politics has having kids changed you most?

oh! they got this all screwed up!

If Nigeria wants capital then it should maybe make investing there nicer for all involved.

It'd be more useful and probably just as impactful for being more realistic.

Would love to see as % of capital base. Regular deflator feels wrong metric.

This is fucking sick. Anyway, better start brushing up on my railway bankruptcy history.

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

There really are crime georgs out there. You gotta get people for the less serious stuff first. It wasn't a coincidence Al Capone was dodging taxes.
