When Dan tweets about how awful things are in British politics I keep reminding him that there are plenty of regular flights back to New Zealand. He clearly knows that there is no market for his nasty racist agenda in New Zealand.

Dan does the constitution.

General Election then, Dan?

'Politically homeless' on Twitter invariably means 'The Tories aren't racist enough for me'.

GB News presenters have spent this week gloating about how listening figures for GB News have risen faster than for any other radio station. While this boast does seem quite impressive in reality the number of listeners has now gone up to 400,000 across the whole week. But if you look at the full article on the Radio Industries webpage you see that in comparison LBC get 3.3million listeners.

"Documentary filmmaker GB News"

They're not cliches, they're what he actually sees. No poor immigrants in London is a strange hill to die on. And how long since regular "liberals" could afford to live in posh parts of these areas anyway?

You could live on somewhere like Leicester's Narborough Road and be pro-immigration (like, er, I did) and they'd say "Oh no, it's not working class, it's bohemian/studentville/a ghetto". Ever changing goalposts.

Never any immigration in Tower Hamlets when I lived there. Easy for me to be snooty and pro immigration.

That London, renowned as a low immigration area for over a century.

Crafty Grimes has been officially cancelled, oddly though when someone is actually cancelled they don’t call it that.

I think he is going to have a tough time at the Job Centre because he is not very good at filling in forms.

The latest nonsense being spouted by GB News is that we treat migrants better than we treat our veterans. Surely it is possibly to treat both groups with respect and dignity. The poor treatment of veterans is nothing new it certainly proceeded any rise in migrants entering the country.

Ironically many veterans would benefit from a rise in immigration if it meant more doctors, more nurses and more carers.

How did Rudyard put it in 1890? Oh yes...

Did they say who has been responsible for veteran welfare services for the past 12 years?

The Tories still haven't delivered on the plea in Kipling's last verse.

You talk o' better food for us, an' schools, an' fires, an' all:
We'll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don't mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow's Uniform is not the soldier-man's disgrace.
For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Chuck him out, the brute! "
But it's " Saviour of 'is country " when the guns begin to shoot;

With council taxes set to rise due to the government cutting funding to local authorities one of the gobshites on GBNews Patrick Christy is urging his handful of viewers to let him know their horror stories on poorly performing councils who are not emptying the bins or filling in potholes quickly enough. It has clearly past Christy by that refuge collection and highways maintenance was privatized by most councils about 30 years ago. So if your bins are not being emptied or your roads are not being repaired. Blame the private contractors who won the contract by submitting a very low tender or by paying some backhanders.

Who is this Mark Dolan wanker, and why the fuck should anybody pay the slightest heed to what he thinks? I have a vague recollection of him being on some failed late night comedy show years ago. Now he's wetting his Y- fronts because somebody has floated the notion that Brexit was a pile of crap and maybe we just maybe should think about reversing even a wee bit of it. That said, I hope he is correct about the Tories being finished for good.

Seems the swivel-eyed are scrambling to panic stations.

Forget the conjecture and the denials, this weekend’s revelation on the front page of the Sunday Times shows the UK is facing a democratic emergency.

Here's one of their presenters pushing anti-vaxxer conspiracy theories.
