Love all(most) things British. TV, Movies, Music, Comedy & Culture Example “He’s a bit of a character!” Translation “He’s the worst person I’ve ever met!” 😂😂




When Bondi crashed her testimony at our hearing yesterday, I knew the President would attack me as revenge. Sure enough he did. But I won’t be intimidated into backing off my fight for justice for the victims. Can you help me stay in this fight? secure.thomasmassie.com/donate




It's crazy Rebecca was the only MP on this committee brave enough to say what we all know to be true. Britain has no real history of FGM, cousin marriage or mandatory face coverings for women. Fear of being called racist must never stop us calling out these imported practices.




Any criticism of Islam is labelled Islamophobia A better word would be Islamosceptic A difference of opinion is not a phobia, except in the minds of the paranoid




California's Central Valley produces 80% of the world's almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers. One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway. But here's where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely. Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That's two-thirds of America's entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop. The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That's billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk. The pesticides don't help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they'd normally forage on between almond blooms. Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It's being drained in decades for almond milk. Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year's worth of dairy milk. But it's got "plant-based" on the label so you're definitely saving the planet.


The Great Divide is no longer theoretical. You now have two Americas that hate each other’s guts, with no shared values and no common ground. That is how nations slip into civil war.
