I wonder how many will realise how much more pleasant cycling is than the tube, and never go back?

Such an amazing manager that he had to 'phone the president instead of sorting it out himself...
Anyway, it just smells like more bullshit from the orange shitgibbon with an over-inflated ego. How many companies did he bankrupt? 🙄

Being anti-Netanyahu is not anti-Semitic. It’s anti-corruption, anti-genocide. It’s pro-peace.

5 ways GDP gets it totally wrong as a measure of our success The beauty of gross domestic product is its single figure. It squishes all of human activity into a couple of digits, like a frog jammed into a matchbox. But this condensing is also GDP’s flaw.

The GDP delusion is still alive and well. Sadly.

Peoples' material conditions and happiness cannot be measured using GDP.

Higher GDP does not mean higher living standards or higher wages.

But where is all the money?
It's not moving through the high streets of our towns and cities. It's stuck in stocks and shares belonging to the wealthy, who are simply getting richer.
It's not the sign of a strong economy - money should be flowing between people as they work, shop, employ, etc.

The fact that Mandelson was endorsed by Farage, Gove and others should have been a red flag

Oddly, I'm reading a copy that looks exactly like this one at the moment 😁

Oh, for the days when this was as stupid as we got. His administration defending a typo', rather than an illegal war 😕

But Reeves (and Starmer) will get the blame from our media and the likes of Badenoch, Farage, etc.

I have always felt total disgust for Farage.
That episode simply confirmed what a low life individual he is.

Trump is a liar.
It's as simple as that.

And the cultists follow suit, just like those idiots who stuck bandages on their ears after Trump was "shot at".
We're doomed as a species. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

What, you mean a property trader, a Fox "News" presenter and a sofa tester aren't up to the job of international diplomacy?

🤣🤣🤣

Yep... Men in cars with guns.
That's the USA 🤷‍♂️

You should take them to that famous dog show...
... Crusts

😁

Tory MPs and Mail readers are the ones who have been brainwashed.
That is, assuming they have a brain 🙄

MPs aren't security vetted in the way that Civil Servants or other people who may have access to Top Secret material are.

Nigel Farage: People tell me they've always voted Labour, but not any more The Reform UK leader is expecting a political earthquake' in the local elections next month — but insists the era of Tory defections is over Nigel Farage refused to rule out a confidence and supply deal with the Conservative Party if Reform fails to secure a majority at the next general election Steven Swinford, Political Editor Friday April 17 2026, 10.15pm, The Times

The Times seems to be backing their man in the run up to the local elections. Chummy, unchallenging ‘interview’ that reads much more like a Farage advert.
Free passes handed out on his racism, misogyny, corruption, Trumpism, Orbanism, useless councils, dire candidates, failed Brexit…
Really shabby.

Farage is a demonstrable liar.

And when (on the rare occasions) it's pointed that he has lied, he just lies about lying.

This is all so bad for our democracy and our country. Farage has lied and grifted his arse off to be where he is today and our media routinely fails to hold him to account on any of it. His Brexit ideology is a ruinous disaster and his mass deportation and leaving the ECHR plan would be even worse.

They'd remain angry if the boats were going the other way. 🤷‍♂️

I'm not for one minute expecting the price of diesel at the pump to fall anytime soon, of course.

Typical that I filled up with diesel this morning, and the price of oil has fallen this afternoon 🙄

I'll say it again for those not paying attention:

THE PRICE OF OIL AFFECTS EVERY FUCKING THING

Likewise.
Back on Planet Rock until 10am Monday, now

DPA/GDPR does not prevent the sharing of personal data with people who need to know. This is another misappropriation of the legislation. So often people use "data protection" as an excuse when they don't want to or can't be bothered, and don't understand the law.

Very much overdue.
We should be paying what it costs to generate and distribute power, not the highest unit price based on gas/oil prices. That would encourage more renewable energy and also cut the dependency on fossil fuels.

Hopefully, he and his cronies can all be locked in there and left to rot whilst the rest of the world recovers.
