Is it just me that sees an inconsistency between the bottom headline and the top one??

The one good thing about the likes of Restore and Reform is that we know where the racists are. Strange that their Party leaders seem so bad at spotting them.....

Hellloooooooooo........Bot-land........where arrrreeeee youuuuuuuu???

I love this time of year, just before whatever terrible thing happens next.

At last I've worked out why people can never get to see a doctor - they're all moonlighting giving directions in cars and phones... I mean, theres no attempt to hide the fact, they are even called GPS.......

www.theguardian.com/business/202... I bet its just a ploy to fool the Argentines. "Hey, Rodrigo, we got it wrong, this isnt the Malvinas after all....."

Given that its the ROYAL National Lifeboat Institute, isnt it time His Maj had something to say about the racist morons attacking them?

I'm robbing a bank this afternoon....I've already got the black balaclava and I have a legitimate concern that the bank has more money than I do. So long as I remember to shout "stop the boats", the police wont touch me...

One of these is a terrorist act worthy of arrest. The other isn't. Guess which is which....

"It's a sign!...." Yep, literally..... BBC News - Six people injured after sign falls at Christian festival www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Jesus - did anyone else have an alarm go off on their phone just now with a warning about wild fires? It made me jump so much in this field I dropped the match I was lighting my disposable barbecue with....

Anyone for Steve Bray as Minister for Communications?

"Burnham pledges to end rough sleeping" in first statement as new PM. I didn't even know he rough slept.....

But what do the bins of Clacton think? Ive seen none interviewed! Do they even get a vote?

Any chance Burnham will appoint Starmer as Ambassador to the US??

Well Im watching the World Cup because of the football. Some day we will have an international sporting event that we can just enjoy for the sport and not have to endure all the other crap thats going on around it.....

As the Somalian referee has been denied entry to the USA for the Workd Cup, shouldn't all the other referees and match officials refuse to participate?

I'm no fan of Starmer, who I find strangely bloodless - but please, Labour Party, do you believe that if you replace him with ANYBODY else, Streeter, Burnham, Rayner, Milliband or whoever - the media will suddenly go "oh, this one's good, we'll stay off their back and let them get on with it"?

Come on everybody....time to get the ape costumes on before the Artemis crew get back.....

Oh my God, the Brit award nominees have been announced and Trump hasnt got one! Watch out Britain (or possibly Ireland...with Trump you can never be sure he understands the geography...)

After what Trump has just done in Venezuela, can somebody make sure Sadiq Khan is safe.....

From now on, this will be my mantra to life.... "Dogs! Put down the Queen’s tail! Antique, real jump, Ridiculous. Join their laughter. The brothers are legal now. "

Why is it that when you get new food shopping in, you want to eat everything there and then - and in 2 days time, you are looking and thinking WTF did I get THAT for....?

Can somebody please invent a Farage Filter that applies to all radio, TV, and social media? Anything so I dont have to see or hear that racist twat ever again. Hes right on one thing - I do feel like a stranger in my own country....but only for as long as he is still breathing.....

Suggestions for the new Corbyn/Sultana left party - "FucktheBillionaires" or ""EattheRich".....

Anybody know what the summer equivalent of hibernating is called?

Oooh, you mean it's OK to leave, realise it's a mistake, then rejoin? 😉

Always thought it was the company directors who live in cul-de-sacs who were the dangerous ones.....

Today the TV is full of stuff celebrating small boats crossing the Channel. Funny that....I thought we were against small boats crossing the channel aren't we?

Netflix series "Adolescence" was a fairly well made and thoughtful approach to a challenging subject. Whatever the content may be, Channel 5 calling its programme tonight "The Real Adolescence: Our Killer Kids"....isn't......

Twenty years ago today, I'd have been getting pretty bloody excited around now about a certain gig that night at the Royal Festival Hall - the (somewhat unbelievable) return to the stage - after 29 years - of Van der Graaf Generator! An amazing show... (pic by Ed Clarke)

So...Reform have won in Kent. Yet there are still potholes. Must be too busy sinking boats in the Channel..

Before the next elections here, please please please can Trump start talking about making UK an American State??

I'm confused by the decisions by sports bodies about sex and gender in their games. They say you have to be a biologically born female to play in a female designated team or vice versa. But what about rowing? The Boat Race often has a male team with a female in it. Is that OK because she has a Cox?

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

The Pope living just long enough to have JD Vance visit the Vatican so his Secretary of State could tell Vance to his face that he doesn’t understand Catholicism is a level of hating I could only aspire to in my wildest dreams.

Pope Francis has died 1 day after being assessed as fit to return to work.

I think given when he’s died, we should give it three days and then check again, just to be on the safe side.

Liz Truss: 'i killed the Queen' JD Vance: 'hold my lettuce'

Dear American socials British socials did EVERY Pope/JD Vance joke you are planning to do when the Queen died two days after seeing Liz Truss*. So, don't even. Thanks *I realise you may not know that Liz Truss was briefly UK Prime Minister.

So the Pope dies immediately after meeting with JD Vance? Surely there's a message here...?

Was just thinking Trump is maybe doing his tariffs thing just to give politics students something to study in 40 years. Then it struck me, I did my dissertation on the New Deal - about 45 years earlier. If I was doing it now, Id be talking about Reaganomics at the same time distance! Agrrgghh age!!!

That last one was a hell of a game!
