Richard Stupid Tice would like to clarify that the £100k in tax he hasn't paid is different to the £92k tax he hasn't paid or the £600k tax he hasn't paid. Just in case anyone didn't appreciate the extent of his tax dodging. I mean fiscal prudence.

Senior Tory MP claims knife crime went up by 72% in London.

In fact offences fell by 11% in the year to September 2025.

Weird that #r4today didn’t have this as one of their top political stories today….

A service too valuable to lose, Sue Lambert Trust, Norwich A Norwich charity, that provides a specialist therapeutic service for rape and sexual violence survivors recently had its funds slashed

Sue Lambert Trust receives 85 calls for help per month from rape and abuse survivors.

Funding cuts will mean that only 10 new cases can be supported. 75 will be turned away.

This article from Zack Polanski is fascinating and reveals a lot about his character, I think. Zack in one word? Ego. I'm sure he wouldn't want you all to see this.

And there are absolute whopper simpletons in this country who believe every word out of these shits mouths.

Meanwhile, the international press is using Israel’s fake language & euphemisms. These are all headlines from the international media. It’s not a ground operation’ or a ‘security buffer zone’. It’s an INVASION. These are war crimes.

As I said…

There should always be an unbridgeable divide between defence/security/ policing & health.

It was a terrible idea to give contracts to Palantir for 🇬🇧 security etc due to its background rooted in USA🇺🇸 security/intelligence/CIA and their history of datascraping/aggregating - & bad values

Doesn't pay any tax in the UK because he ran away to the Tax Haven Singapore to escape the effects of the Brexit he helped create.

Then he bought up hundred of millions of pounds of farmland to avoid tax, then cried when it was made taxable.

“I’m saving up for the other sleeve and then maybe a back piece”

A woman holding a sign showing Trump in an orange jumpsuit being held by a police officer with the word “I have a dream” across the top.

I have the same dream. At #NoKings in Honolulu.

From ‘Beyond the Frame’: “It is a depiction of a young woman composing a poem at nighttime. The cherry trees of the title, whose blossom is so emblematic of Japanese culture and sensibility, are mostly hidden; they are merely silhouetted (with the exception of one trunk) and one explanation for this artistic decision is that they stand as a metaphor for the self-effacement expected of creative women – just as the blossom remains (largely) in shadow so the slate that the woman writes on is blank. It seems to make the point that she (the figure) is capable of conjuring the words whose beauty will reveal themselves just as surely as will the blossom reappear with the morning sunrise and just as surely as the artist achieves by depicting this scene in front of us. The work is remarkable for the way that it evokes the beauty of what lies in darkness, beauty from tones of charcoal grey and black, beauty from the antithesis of colour. Its theme is illumination, literal and figurative. The light from the candle in the large lamp lights up the face of the central figure as she looks for inspiration. The flame of inspiration lends her its glow – it burns brightly and floodlights the few visible blossoms to her right and left, both an encouragement and an enjoinder to create, while the lamp at the lower right lights up the sumptuous richness of her gown, its drapes connecting her to the grounded reality of the earth as her mind reaches closer to the celestial sphere of starier thought.” I think “starter” may be a typo, but I’m not sure what the writer intended. Perhaps “starry”?

Reform UK said I was 'bullying' when I pointed out their colleague was jailed for beating up his former partner.

Now, they're trying to sneak him back into their party. So I'll say it again:

James McMurdock was jailed for beating up his former partner.
