Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash… and I’m delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever!

- Comment on Jeremy Clarkson's choir wins Britain's Got Talent 1 day ago:
Next year’s winners: Enoch Powell’s rhythm and blues combo.
- Comment on Self Esteem says efforts to make West End more accessible ‘aren’t going that well’ 2 days ago:
I’ve long wanted to take my kids to the theatre in London but it’s just far too beyond our means. Back in the 1990s I could get tickets to see plays at the National Theatre or RSC for £10-20. Not always the best seats but good enough to see some of the country’s finest actors performing in stunning performances. Even though I was from a working class background I had the chance to develop a sense of culture. It’s something just not possible now.
- Comment on Manchester cafe owner says police tried to recruit him to spy on Palestine Action 2 days ago:
GMP said it was unable to comment.
I’ve long felt that the whole UK is riddled with so many state “agents” of varying degrees that it would make soviet East Germany look like a model of democratic propriety. All the political parties are full of undercover agents, all major media, civil service, education. Wonder where the old bobby on the beat is? He’s spying on you and me to keep an eye on us to make sure we’re not a threat to the established order.
- Comment on UK experiences ‘tropical night’ after hottest ever May day 6 days ago:
Quite soon it will Wimblon and will rain and people will say they’ve never seen the like before and Cliff Richard will be wheeled out to croak “Summer Holiday”.
- Comment on From @bbcnewsni on Instagram 1 week ago:
And yet millions of people travel with cancer across the world. And probably travel without the assistance of a dozen aides, security and who knows what else. Just like the King smelling bread, a woman with cancer travelling to another country really isn’t news.
- Comment on From @bbcnewsni on Instagram 1 week ago:
It’s bizarre. Same as the reports of his son praising Kate for going abroad on her own. What a weird fucking country.
- Comment on UK Sees Lowest Viewing Figures for Eurovision Final Since 2010 1 week ago:
Shouldn’t the UK also be barred from entry bearing in mind a majority of this country declared it was opposed to the Euro vision?
- Comment on UK Sees Lowest Viewing Figures for Eurovision Final Since 2010 1 week ago:
Is asking why Australia IS allowed to take part - but the USA not also hatred?
- Comment on Fire and ‘sheer volume’: how Britain’s 6m-vape problem is putting recycling under strain 2 weeks ago:
Stick a massive recycling tax on them.
- Comment on Man hit by van in Birmingham after residents take down union flags put up by anti-migrant group 2 weeks ago:
Black flags!
- Comment on Britain’s secret ‘black propaganda’ operations 2 weeks ago:
Much of this reads like the forgeries and propaganda that we’re fed today.
- Comment on We’re NHS analysts organising together against Palantir. Here’s why 2 weeks ago:
Paying money to Palantir at this point is like paying Mafia for protection.
- Comment on Keir Starmer sets out changes to education, health and courts in king’s speech 2 weeks ago:
The changes to Education are also worth watching. They are designed to remove what meagre SEN support children already get and shut down specialist provisions in favour of “mainstreaming”. They are also shutting the door on future SEN children by stopping EHCPs while promising that those currently with them will be protected. The funding for this: a one-off sum of £4 billion spread over 3 years and then… mainstream schools will have to pay for SEN out of their existing budgets.
Let’s be honest. This is something even the Tories would have hesitated about and another example of why Labour - like all political parties in Westminster - are NOT on our side.
- Comment on Majority of Britons would back a smoking ban in pub gardens 2 weeks ago:
Yep. It’s lovely to walk behind someone in the local high street while they spew cigarette smoke or stinking vape clouds over their shoulders! Smokers should have air conditioned rooms or designated areas away from other if they want to carry out their anti-social behaviours.
- Comment on Rights of at least one in seven UK workers illegally violated at their job 2 weeks ago:
5.4 million paid less than the minimum wage? Let’s see if that will be given much coverage in the media… oh, look over there: Keir Starmer in leadership battle… over there: antisemetic terrorists… over there: cruise ship of death!
- Comment on Over 2,100 parkrunners and supporters rally against legal threat over trans policy 3 weeks ago:
And here I was thinking it was just a fun run in the park!
- Comment on Over 2,100 parkrunners and supporters rally against legal threat over trans policy 3 weeks ago:
Why is their segregation on a fun run at all? Don’t all people just… run together… for fun?
- Comment on The media smear campaign against Zack Polanski is working wonders 3 weeks ago:
And you think these countries (China - which hasn’t been involved in military conflict for over 50 years - and Russia and ??) are secretly planning what? Invasion? Steal our women? Drive tanks through our front gardens? Eat our cats and dogs? Both those countries already own a great deal of property and investments here in the UK. People of China and Russia are like most of us: want peace. We’re governed by madmen and arms dealers who want to make us feel frightened and insecure all the time.
- Comment on The media smear campaign against Zack Polanski is working wonders 3 weeks ago:
Each missile costs up to £5 million to maintain per year. Think of all those arm manufacturers bonuses at risk if everyone had your attitude.
- Comment on The media smear campaign against Zack Polanski is working wonders 3 weeks ago:
I wonder how all the other countries without nuclear weapons of mass destruction cope? Glad to live in the UK where we can kill millions at the push of a button.
- Comment on Zack Polanski declares two-party politics dead after Hackney mayoral win 3 weeks ago:
Ferrari on LBC talked about every other party, too. I’m sure the anodyne interview with Caroline Lucas at about 7am will be LBC’s justification of balanced coverage.
- Comment on Four Palestine Action Activists Found Guilty of Criminal Damage 3 weeks ago:
Yes, used in what many considers an immoral military operation.
- Comment on Four Palestine Action Activists Found Guilty of Criminal Damage 3 weeks ago:
…“without intent”
- Comment on [Video] LBC interviewer exposes the double standard of ex minister calling for the banning of Palestine marches 3 weeks ago:
Just watch her dead, tired eyes during that interview.
- Comment on More than a fifth of UK’s ‘austerity children’ scarred by poverty, study says 1 month ago:
Complete disgrace. One of the wealthiest countries in the world with many, many millionaires and billionaires - yet we have staggering numbers of children living in poverty. It’s almost like we live in an economic system that plans this.
- Comment on Peter Mandelson faces fixed-penalty notice for urinating in public 1 month ago:
Hopefully it’ll be a big fine for all the years he’s been pissing in public in politics!
- Comment on Waitrose employee sacked after stopping shoplifter from taking Easter eggs 1 month ago:
It’s part of the John Lewis Partnership which isn’t a cooperative. It’s a company where workers are given a “partner” status and allocated a share of profits. When you look into it, it’s still a big business with employees.
- Comment on Minimum wage rises to £12.71 an hour as firms warn of impact 1 month ago:
No “suddenly” about it. Capitalism has always been bollox.
- Comment on Minimum wage rises to £12.71 an hour as firms warn of impact 1 month ago:
Bosses all across UK angry because it means they’ll have consider taking less out of the till for themselves.
We have a massively state-subsidised workforce at the same time that bosses and shareholders are paying themselves obscene amounts in salaries and dividends. That’s the real crisis.
- Comment on Warning food prices are set to spike in the UK due to Iran war 1 month ago:
It’s illegal to question normalcy. Accept. Obey. Endure.
