August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

As though Farage has any worthwhile contribution to offer to the social care debate.
Might as well ask my gerbil to answer the Schleswig Holstein question.

Farage claims Reform is 'the people vs the establishment', yet it's bankrolled by Mayfair club owners, hereditary peers, and aristocrats dropping millions. Calling this a 'working-class revolt' is pure fantasy. 🏰
Are voters really being fooled by this act?

Richard Stupid Tice is now threatening legal action against both the BBC and NCA and accusing the Met Police of briefing against him.
Exactly the sort of reasonable reaction you would expect from someone who has nothing to hide.

Pretty funny to see the party responsible for the state of British prisons 2010-24 joining in though. Ok, Chris Philp, let’s pretend Broadmoor is like a holiday camp? Which is why you shut it down? Which is why you changed the law that allowed people to be sectioned there? No? Chris? Are you there?
I regret to inform you that we have reached the “Broadmoor is a holiday camp” stage of right-wing discourse.
