Oh for fuck's sake, here he comes again!
Pudsey's back on the scrounge, the little yellow freeloader! Every November, without fail, he turns up with his eye patch and his hand out, wanting a few quid!
And here come the millionaire celebrities, sat in their designer clobber, wearing watches worth more than my house, telling us how just £10 could change a child's life.
Well, here's an idea, me old mucker. YOU FUCKING PAY IT THEN!
I'm sat here wondering whether to put the heating on or remortgage the house to buy a block of Cathedral City, and some celebrity with £15 million in the bank is telling me to dig deep!
Dig deep?! I'm already digging down the back of the sofa looking for enough change to buy a loaf of bread!
Don't get me wrong, Children in Need is a fantastic cause and the kids deserve every penny.
But surely we can have one year where the millionaires have a whip-round and us skint bastards get to sit on the sofa watching THEM do the fundraising!
Now piss off, Pudsey. I've got a gas bill to pay! 🤣

I think we have to realise there are a minority in this country who are gullible sheep.
There's a few who will still vote Tory even after 14 years of failure and broken promises. They'd return to a partner who blacked their eye.
There's some who will vote Labour just because Andy Burnham seems like a nice bloke irrespective of Labour policies and lies.
There's also some nasty nutters who'll vote Green. Well there's no hope for them.
And the Lib Dems? Just people who haven't really got an opinion on anything. But feel duty bound to vote. Wet blankets really.
Then Restore. Who poll at just 2% nationally but whose fans really need bringing back down to earth. Somehow.
And us. The largest political party in the UK. Reform. Somehow we have to make the others see sense. But don't give up. Let's do it people. Keep banging the Reform drum. 🥁
And take no notice of the MSM who are terrified of us. 🥁🥁🥁

November 12: Favorite Noir line you’ll remember long after it ends…
FROM LAURA (1944)
“In my case, self-absorption is completely justified. I have never discovered any other subject quite so worthy of my attention.”
~ Waldo Lydecker (played DELICIOUSLY by Clifton Webb)
Runner Ups (also Waldoisms):
“I don't use a pen. I write with a goose quill dipped in venom.”
“Laura considered me the wisest, the wittiest, the most interesting man she'd ever met. I was in complete accord with her on that point.”
(Talk about a role an actor was BORN to play… Mr. Webb relished every bit of this role and it made the movie the masterpiece it is).

As David Walliams' books get removed from school libraries, etc, it's important to separate the art from the artist and be very clear that in this case they are both terrible.

I'm all in favour of the Tories now proposing to cut the benefits bill by £36bn, but they let it get out of control in the first place. No checks on claimants, massive increases in immigration, no push to get people back to work. They can't be trusted.

Who vetted Nick Brown. And Mike Amesbury. And Tulip Siddiq. And the phone thief. And the stamp duty dodger. And the solicitor who wasn't?
Asking for a nation.

🎬 Filmed in December 1964, this unforgettable two-minute performance was captured in a single take—no cuts, no tricks, just pure talent. Every note had to be flawless. Even decades later, its authenticity and brilliance remain timeless. ✨🎶❤️

It doesn’t matter who leads the Tory party they lie lie lie to get into power then shaft Britain every time just like Labour. Don’t fall for it again we don’t have time.
Even some Reform voters think Kemi Badenoch would make a better Prime Minister than Nigel Farage, according to poll that concludes Tory leader has the 'upper hand' in fight for the right trib.al/j3poFGE

Nice try! 😂
Believe me.. we don’t. Most of us were willing to give Kemi a chance, but she’s the one who pushed us away.
The same old Tory arrogance, constant political point scoring, the refusal to take responsibility for 14 years of broken promises, record immigration and failures on the economy. Not a shred of humility or any genuine attempt to rebuild the trust they destroyed.
Kemi treats PMQs like her weekly stand up comedy routine instead of taking things seriously. There is nothing comical about the state the Tories left our country in.
And now we’re supposed to believe Reform voters suddenly think she’d make a better PM than Farage? Please be serious right now. 🙄
This relentless media campaign to rehabilitate Kemi’s image is becoming embarrassingly obvious. Do they seriously think a few flattering headlines will convince us to forget why we left in the first place?

We have entered an age when the court of public opinion has supplanted the court of law.
Trial by media now carries the weight of conviction. The ancient principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty’ has been abandoned.
It is an inversion of justice that would have made even Pontius Pilate blanch.

I would never question wether Brand is guilty or not, only he and the claimants know that. What I do question is a legal system that can prosecute and imprison any one of us, without Forensic Evidence, DNA, CCTV, or Third Party Witnesses.
