I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.
Not to be seen on the BBC TV News, doesn’t suit their agenda .
Also not to be seen in the Telegraph, Express, Mail, Sun, etc.
And nowadays not in the Guardian either.
Yo @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social @iaindale.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk do you still feel Israel has a right to defend itself?
"We had a ceasefire before October 7th".
No, honey. You had no ceasefire since Zionism was invented, and you'll never have peace until Zionism is abolished.

Ferrari and Badenoch trying to pit the Jewish community against the Black community, pretending/arguing that Britain seems to care more about the fortunes of the latter than the former.
'Black' is always the go to ethnicity for willing white supremacists, looking to divide.

Yesterday we had a journalist post on Threads to say the press doesn't like Labour and holds Labour to higher standards than other parties.
It confirms what we all knew and see every day.
But shocking that someone in the media bubble actually said it out loud!
It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.
Jared received $6 billion from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, & Qatar-the governments he is negotiating with on Middle East peace. Don Jr. and Eric Trump have drone companies competing for Pentagon contracts in the war their father started.
Today Eric has $400 million and Don Trump Jr. about $300 million.
Please repost if you agree that the BBC has been undermining democracy and enabling foreign interference in our politics by promoting and protecting Farage.
BBC News leading all its bulletins on demands by former Government advisor Lord Robertson for more defence spending, without at any point mentioning his current paid senior role for US defence lobbyists
It is not a conspiracy anymore.
Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”.
This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.
Mark Ruffalo, Glenn Close, Ben Stiller, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, Kristen Stewart, JJ Abrams, Katie Phang, John Leguizamo, and over a thousand actors, writers, directors, journalists, producers, composers, and Hollywood executives have signed a letter against the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger:

Should be part of his next test.
Finally, a good new story!
According to LBC host Shelagh Fogarty, Israel is doing people in Lebanon a favour by issuing evacuation orders before dropping bombs
It's always been this way.
I saw Victoria Derbyshire as the least worst of a bad lot and reserved a little respect for her — I lost every single bit of it watching her with Tucker Carlson.
Now I see her as just another sold-out government/Israeli mouthpiece.
The House of Cards is falling down...finally — & at a tremendous COST that will plague this nation for decades as we repair this mess — but here's why Melania made her "I never had a relationship with Epstein" statement the other day. : youtu.be/kcocY0mkj8o?...
“Angela Rayner ‘dodged’ paying the correct amount of tax.
Her position is morally indefensible.
If she had any integrity, any moral decency she would resign.”

Repost. My response is the same. They're going to have to put limits on numbers of executive orders and pardons too.
Why isn’t there any recorded drawing of the free energy bill prize, you might ask?
Because it was rigged — is the answer.
What are the police and mainstream journalists doing about it, you might ask again?
Jack shit — is the answer.
BREAKING: Crowds gathering in Trafalgar Square to oppose the unlawful ban on Palestine Action.
Despite the High Court ruling that the ban is unlawful, the Met police decided to continue making arrests following an embarrassing u-turn on their policy not to.
"Independent journalist Matt Kennard first spotted that a UK MQ-9 Reaper drone – typically used for surveillance and reconnaissance missions – was airborne over Lebanon during the deadliest day in Israel’s war on Hezbollah so far." @mattkennard.bsky.social www.thenational.scot/news/2601162...
Can you imagine the Prime Minister Keir Starmer turning up on a doorstep to hand free energy to a household for a year and then it turns out they’ve supported the Labour Party for years and met him several times?
Well that’s what Nigel Farage did and he wants to be the next PM?
Media, anything?
“I did not have relations with that man Epstein.” 🤣
Who’d have guessed / predicted the winners would also happen to be good friends with Farage?
I hear the team of lawyers is meeting now on a small island in the Caribbean.
