If we were all to send Danny Tommo an @RNLI Christmas card simply containing "LOL", it would make a lot of money for a brilliant charity and be hilarious at the same time. Cards can be purchased here shop.rnli.org/collections/ch… Please spread the word.

It is a criminal offence to interfere with the work of the RNLI when carrying out their duties, in the same way it is to do so to the police, ambulance or fire service. legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/200…

Trump initial reaction to 9/11 was to claim that he now owned the tallest building in downtown Manhattan.

If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections? When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?

One of rock's most bitter feuds just ended on stage. Ritchie Blackmore hadn't played with Deep Purple since walking out in 1993, and he asked to come back for one song. Last night at Jones Beach, at 81, he played "Smoke on the Water." "I haven't played rock music in 25 years."

Same here. Been a loyal customer for over 20 years with multiple accounts but get nothing from a supposed loyalty offer! Maybe I will be switching after all

The first thing Nigel Farage will introduce if he is elected is Health Insurance. The NHS correctly costs Β£200bn a year. In the USA Health Insurance is Β£14,000 a year per person Β£14,000 x 50m adults is Β£700bn a year. Β£500bn a year profit If you can't afford that you are dying

At yesterday's Unite the Kingdom rally one speaker said: "It's not too late to get Islam out of that building (Parliament)" "It is not to late to get Islam out of every single official office in this country" "It is absolutely vital, if we want to save this country, we have to remove Islam from every single place of authority" If these comments were directed at British Jews, they would rightly dominate headlines nationwide, because antisemitism is wrong. Anti-Muslim rhetoric should be treated with the same seriousness and scrutiny.

Steve Harness: β€œWhen is a reporter gonna snap back and say don’t you fucking talk to me that way? I’m a goddamned adult. I’m here working. You work for us, asshole. Go fuck yourself. Somebody, for the love of God, I will buy the Pulitzer for you if you will just tell this man how fucking dare you, do not talk to me that way”

The BBC refuse to hold scammer Farage to account. MPs are meant to declare ALL gifts over Β£300 in the calendar year leading up to their election. I refuse to look away. Repost if you feel the same.

The media has convinced you that Keir Starmer is the worst Prime Minister in history. They're lying to you.

Remember the good old days when the worst thing being used to distract us from the Epstein files was the annexation of Greenland? Happier, simpler, times.

"Unquestionably blindly following the Americans is, in my view, the wrong thing to do.. I'd pass legislation that said military action could be taken if.. the lawful case for it was made.. there was a viable objective &.. you got consent of the commons" When's the vote, Keir?

Those surprised at the BBC promoting Reform (whole programme promoting them, and Yusuf yet again on #bbcqt ) should remember this is nothing new. Look the incredible bias in their choice of MEPs on @bbcquestiontime during the Brexit years:

Truer words, I don’t know if they have ever been spoken. If this page could have a video represent it, this one would be in our bio. Please watch it because he is hitting the nail on the head.

The Metro and the Daily Star are the only news outlets running with Nigel Farage's tribute to depraved paedophile Ian Watkins. If any other political leader had done this, it would be in every newspaper; again, Nigel gets a free pass. dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-…
