In case anyone needs it, to have the ‘mubble-fubbles’ (16th century) means to have a fit of despondency or low spirits, such as the end-of-summer blues.

Sure, some men are jerks. Like the ‘influencer’ who carried a bath to the top of Snowdon for a selfie and dumped it there.
But other men are heroes, like the teenage rugby team who carried it down.
Well done lads. We see you.

Thames water paid £1.4 Billion in dividends to shareholders, while lobbying for permission to dump raw sewage into rivers while applying for a bailout from the government and while putting bills up.

And forgive us our insider trading,

Let’s be clear about what the Trump regime is saying to Minnesota: “We will continue murdering your citizens unless you help us rig your election.”
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

Nigel Farage's attendance record as an MEP was 748 out of 751, yet he turned up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian disinformation. Now one of his MEPs has admitted taking bribes to spread Russian propaganda. Why is this not all over the media?

Why did the BBC broadcast Nigel Farage uninterrupted for 56 minutes this morning?
Nobody wants this, he has 4 seats, does any other party gets this coverage?
The biased people at the BBC putting Nigel Farage on day after day need to be removed.
