Sean Lock (RIP) on Russell Brand in 2014. "The reason I hate him so much is because I'm a dad and I have this fear that my daughters will bring something like that home."

1969 a US soldier is asked: "If you could send one message to Americans 50 years in the future what would it be?" "Don't send your sons to finish what politicians start."

horrible cunt.
I have decided to stand down as a RAF Wing Commander and bring my experience to the role of Reform UK’s Shadow Armed Forces Minister. Our armed forces have been decimated by successive governments. Rebuilding them is a national challenge that I am committed to deliver as part of Reform UK.

Russel Brand is a rapist. I hope this verdict brings a little closure to his many victims. And I hope this verdict brings hope and courage to those who fear that speaking out will never amount to anything near a conviction. I hope they throw the fucking book at him.

Replying to @ZiaYusufUK
Zia Yusuf quotes the Bank of England while conveniently ignoring what it actually said about inflation and Labour’s Budget. Facts matter. Scapegoating foreign nationals isn’t an economic strategy. I’ve broken down his claims against the evidence here: nitter.gq/dhkitch/status/2118428…
Zia, you quoted the Bank of England’s forecast but conveniently omitted its explanation. The Bank identifies rising global energy prices, driven by the Middle East conflict, as the principal inflationary pressure. It also says the Budget will REDUCE inflation by 0.25 percentage points by Q2 2027. Most temporary migrants cannot claim public funds. Asylum seekers cannot claim Universal Credit. Foreign aid is already being cut. And your proposed solution? Blame foreign nationals, abolish aid and promise cheaper energy. Explain how cutting welfare or foreign aid reduces international wholesale energy prices. Show us the independently costed savings and precisely how they translate into lower taxes and bills. Households deserve serious economic policy, not an entirely unrelated scapegoat. The Bank of England published its evidence today. Perhaps read all of it before claiming it supports your argument.

If you find yourself outraged by a Senator putting his hands on a Sky News journalist, wait till you hear about what Israel does to journalists.

I want back the trillions saved by DOGE and the trillions saved by tariffs and the trillions saved by stealing oil from Venezuela and the billions his children stole and then... I want his tax returns for the last ten years. But first every last piece of the Epstein files! Then I have some questions to ask. – at Edgewood, KY

That time when Tommy Robinson went to a Muslim country which he claims he hates and got embarrassed by a Muslim boxer who he daren't punch because he'd get battered. So funny.
