Nicknaming the proposed update to the license fee the "YouTube tax" is a bad idea, YouTube is essentially free. Calling it the "Netflix tax" would mean people associate an extra tax on something that they not only already pay for but also pay the government 20% VAT. Double taxation.

TBH I had to go and look up who's on our bank notes, it's so long since I had to pay a builder.

Then they came for the cattle ranchers And I did not speak out Because I was not a cattle rancher

All that money NASA spent and they could have just gone to Clacton.

Remember when the Guardian used to call out skewed Channel 4 documentaries, rather than giving them gushing 4* reviews? @georgemonbiot.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I don't think Lucy Mangan watched all the way to the end of "The Great ADHD Myth?" before giving it her gushing 4* review. If she had she may have seen these just before the credits; it sure does look like the medication works.

Unfortunately Count Binface may not win in Clacton, but I will console myself with the knowledge he's going to get way more votes than Laurence Fox. #VoteBinface

Is that before or after tax? (What a stupid question) www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Great piece in SpaceDaily today about Meganeuropsis permiana, a species that was part of an order that was a precursor to dragonflies, helpfully illustrated with a fantasy picture of a flying dragon. spacedaily.com/t-the-larges...

Fellow Brits, don't you just hate that the Americans have this terrible stereotype of us all having bad teeth? I've no idea where that came from

Farage complaining that finding out about his £5m bung was because of Russian hacking, is like Gary Glitter blaming PC World for the his CSAM material.

So, article about the behaviour of a Reform candidate ends with the paragraph about Zack Polanski being investigated over council tax. Not a single mention of Farage's or the £5m bung and that investigation. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

I can't quite figure out why we only ever get two Tories in our ward

With the news Rudy Giuliani seems to be on the way out I was reminded on the second time I tried to read "Mere Christianity", I got to page 3 of chapter 1 this time, stopping at the attached. I immediately thought of Rudy, Trump and MAGA and thought Lewis really hasn't aged well at all.

If you want Sadiq Khan to block Palantir from using all the Police cameras in the UK to spy on you for Donald Trump. RT

This is really good to know about Todd Starnes, as I was worried.

I don't think we're laughing hard enough at the Tories, who lost their deposit.

Sad news, Rob Grant passes away, peacefully in his jeep.

I've got no idea how many compliance courses I've sat through in my career but I can tell you they always have real world examples of people who have been caught. Joseph Molloy is going to be used as example in future courses and he's never working in UK finance again metro.co.uk/2026/02/18/w...

Starmer's 18 months older than Farage

Now that I constantly use Opera's built in VPN so I can actually use Bluesky effectively my Norweigian adverts are weird

You know who hasn't broken someone's neck? That would be Phillip Schofield, that's who. www.lbc.co.uk/article/holl...

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

If you don't love Nigel Farage give this a Like. If you hate him, give it a RT.

Fireworks going off in Balham for some reason, just quickly checked the news headlines.

How is it possible to be deported from international waters?

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Does Boris Johnson know how children are made?

If you won't buy this crap even if it does get unbanned, RT.

She didn't need Department of Education and she turned out just fine....

🤣

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

This looks like an AA meeting with a bunch of Magnus Pyke* impersonators. You'll have to be of certain age to remember him.

Victoria Derbyshire replaced Laura Kuenssberg on her own show and she was 1000x... infinitely better. RT if it is time to replace the Laura Kuenssberg show with the Victoria Derbyshire show.
