Should we do the same in the UK to avoid pet stress and wildlife stress?

@JohnCleese Whilst I can't stand the man, there was a cut in the video before he gave his answer. Does anyone have a link to the full video to see the whole conversation?

@JohnCleese The side of humanity and international law perhaps? Where school children aren't considered acceptable collateral damage.

Nigel Farage Isn’t Lying. You’re Just Not Hearing This Part Nigel Farage says he wants to protect Britain. He says he wants to protect families, workers and your children’s future. That sounds good. Most people want exactly that. So this is not about calling him a liar. It is about slowing down and asking what those words mean once they turn into policy. Because Britain has already lived through a long period where politicians talked about tough choices and discipline. What many people felt was cuts. Councils lost services. Youth clubs closed. Waiting lists grew. Wages did not keep up with rent and food. People remember that. Now talk of austerity is returning. The idea that the country must tighten again after years when many already felt stretched. That leads to a simple question. If more tightening happens, what gets squeezed next. Look at young people. You hear talk about making work more flexible and reducing rules for business. That can sound positive. But when rules weaken, starting wages and job security can weaken too. If your child earns less at the start of adult life, independence gets harder. They move out later. They save later. They rely on family longer. That is not politics. That is real life in your home. Then look at benefits and councils. In some Reform-linked discussions, there has been talk about whether people on benefits should contribute more locally through taxes or service charges. Supporters say that is fairness. Critics say it risks putting extra pressure on people who already have very little. Again, the question is simple. If someone on the lowest income faces new costs, where does that money come from. Usually nowhere. It means less food. More debt. More stress. Then there are rights. Farage has criticised parts of European human rights law and suggested Britain should rethink them. That can sound distant, but those rules sit behind workplace protections and discrimination cases. You do not notice rights every day. You notice them when something goes wrong. Women are watching this conversation too. Farage has said abortion limits should be looked at again and has appeared around groups that campaign against abortion. Some see debate. Others see a sign that rights people thought were settled may not be. And then there is the NHS. Farage has said the NHS is unsustainable and that Britain should look at systems like France or the United States. People often hear reassurance that care would still be free when treated. But that phrase can hide how systems work. In France many people pay first and claim back through insurance. In the United States many people pay monthly insurance and still face bills. Treatment exists. Payments exist too. So the fear is not being charged at hospital tomorrow. It is slow change. Monthly payments. Insurance layers. Costs families did not have before. Put it all together and a pattern appears. Talk of austerity after years of cuts. Talk of flexible wages that may mean lower pay for young workers. Talk of welfare changes that may add pressure to people with the least. Talk of rights frameworks being removed. Talk of NHS models where individuals pay more over time. None of this means people are wrong to feel angry about Britain or to want change. But change always has direction. Nigel Farage may be saying exactly what he believes. The important question is not whether he believes it. It is what life looks like for ordinary families if those ideas become reality. Because politics is not speeches. It is rent paid or not paid. It is wages rising or not rising. It is whether help exists when you need it. That is the part worth thinking about. Will Reform make you poorer?

@Phil0fax @LKingrizla @daniellismore The thing is, there's plenty of other options, but people choose to vote 'tactically' to keep the party they dislike out. If everyone read manifestos and voted for what they believe in, there would be multiple parties in the running, rather than just 2-3. But people just... Don't

@LKingrizla @daniellismore It’s the kind of truth that leads people to seek alternative solutions. The problem is in the failure of representation not the results of that failure.

Reform is coming for your rights. Especially if you’re poor, old, disabled, a woman or a worker. You are f**ked. To those who are going to vote for them, I hope they xxx you really hard. Like so hard. I hope your life gets ruined by them. Because that’s their plan. Some of you are too racist to see past your own pointing finger. To see that you’re the ones who are going to be damaged. So whilst you point the finger at people calling them damaged, it will be you. You will look like the mug you drink your tea out of whilst the rest of us tell you we told you so. Like we did after Brexit. Which made you poorer. So yeah, eat cake. I hope it’s nice. Don’t choke ☕️🫖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧💷🍰

@MarinaPurkiss @nulasuchet Mrs Clegg never signed the letter, and appears to have been thrown under the bus by Goodwin/Reform. This is her son, Andrew, rather unhappy with how she's been treated.

Dear Patricia Clegg (the lady from the Reform letter) You say your energy bills are rising - do you think the fossil fuel‑linked lads at Reform are going to fix that? You mention food costing more - wild thought, but does Brexit, supply chains, and red tape ring any bells? And the GP appointment you can’t get? We lost thousands of EU healthcare workers because of... say it with me... Brexit. Might I suggest you back a party that didn’t help create the very mess you’re now complaining about. Yours, Marina x

When Reform tell you who they are and what they'd do if they get any power, believe them. Yesterday Nigel Farage attacked workers for wanting to spend time with their families

I just thought I’d drop this here for all the idiots who would like to suggest that London is more dangerous than any major city in the U.S. or Europe. It’s utter nonsense and the data proves it. It’s not surprising to note that the disinformation is largely being spread by UK right wing disinformation peddlers aided and abetted by US right wing talking heads. Here are the facts, with thanks to the Economist for the clip. Oh and by the way, just 6.5% of the population are Muslims and 50% of them were born here. There are 268,000 reform members out of population of 69.3 million. It’s just that they shout their lies the loudest. I’ve lived long enough to see it all before. MAGA is not coming to the UK rest assured of that. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRUbeV9U/

GET A GRIP
GET A GRIP@docrussjackson·
'Outrage porn' is any type of narrative that provokes strong emotions for the purpose of increasing engagement. We all know politicians like Trump and Farage deploy it, but there are thousands of more mundane examples, ie Peter Lloyd and Tom Skinner. x.com/docrussjackson…

GET A GRIP@docrussjackson

Following in the steps of fellow 'Apprentice' candidate, Katie Hopkins, 'patriotic' Thomas Skinner is just the latest shit-stirrer in a long line of them to monetise outrage with infantile, baseless provocations designed to fuel division and increase engagement. How very British and 'patriotic' - not. In 2011, Skinner - who identifies as Roman Catholic and last year stated "I love Trump I think he is brilliant" - was sentenced after being charged with dishonestly handling 4,992 tubes of cleansing gels worth nearly £40,000 and having 2,000 diazepam tablets. And in June 2025, Skinner was filmed alongside fellow shit-stirrer 'Honest' Bob Jenrick, praising him. Just for the record: -NOBODY is "offended by a full English"; -NOBODY thinks "a pint on a Friday is a hate crime"; -NOBODY (even Skinner) *unconditionally* "loves their country" (he rarely stops moaning about it), and; -NOBODY "gets upset" because some people "like red meat, a fry-up, and a cold Stella" - all of which many in the so-called "woke brigade" enjoy. Our media is flooded with what scholars call "outrage porn" (AKA 'rage-baiting') - content crafted to spark anger or disgust and heated debate. It hooks us with intense emotions, driving likes, shares, and comments that fuel an addictive cycle of information overload. In a crowded media landscape, online, print, and broadcast politicians, pundits, and performers compete for attention with outrageous, divisive statements, often scapegoating groups for complex problems, and/or making absurd, easily disprovable claims. These provocations grab headlines, frame debates, stir reactions, and boost algorithmic visibility. On @X, when we respond by directly replying to or quote-tweeting their vacuous adolescent provocations - even to defend those unfairly targeted or to counter their false claims - we fuel an "outrage feedback loop," boosting their engagement, and increasing their personal wealth and influence, and often that of their employers and supporters too. We all have to be more careful not to reward simplistic, divisive, baseless, deliberately inflammatory and often highly misleading or false content, which drowns out rational voices, deepening societal divides, and which can fuel radicalisation, increasing the likelihood of societal unrest and violence—which is exactly what every evil authoritarian dictator in history has thrived upon, and is exactly what helps to fuel support for Reform UK and even more extreme far-right parties, groups, and organisations. So if you want to comment (like I am here) please use screenshots. 🙏 Btw, on the bottom right are just two of the disgusting anonymous racist accounts praising and defending Skinner for his inane, childish, and (now deleted) rage-baiting tweet.
