‘Cos Nige he took £5 million quid And Nige will take £5 million more…’ Great Proclaimers twist on Farage’s ‘until recently’ secret donation 👏

@grahamscheper My name is originally a gerundive. One who is to be armed is an armand i.e. a soldier.

There’s a cool feature in Latin, the gerundive, which is a verbal adjective implying that something should/must happen. A few of them survive into English words: If someone should be revered, they are “reverend”. If something must be cut away, it is a “dividend”. My favorite: if a story is so good that it simply must be read by everyone, it is “legend”! Latin reverendus/a, dividendum, and legenda. Pretty cool that what is sometimes a difficult concept for Latin learners is actually present in English, albeit rarely. Do let me know if there are any good ones I’ve missed.

BBC TV news reporting Tiger Woods’ arrest at great length but not a mention of the half million strong march against the far right in London today.

The 2026 World Cup shouldn’t be played in a country whose president just posted that it’s a “great honor” to kill Iranians. Move every match to Canada and Mexico. Or every nation should withdraw. The FIFA Peace Prize recipient is now bragging about genocide. Read that again.

@trentbartonland Thank you. That’s very helpful. Last week was the same although buses were definitely late - probably because of the Forest match.

Good afternoon Rob. As far as I'm aware, all journeys on the keyworth are operating as normal today. We’re currently experiencing issues with live tracking on Hugo, which is why nothing is showing on the app. In the meantime, you can track any Keyworth bus in real time here: 🔗 #map" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">bustimes.org/services/kc-th…. If you need anything else, just let me know ~ James

@trentbartonland Are there buses to and from Keyworth today (1st March)? For the second Sunday running, the Hugo app has nothing to show. Sunday seems to take you by surprise and yet again our plans have been spoiled.

I seem to have upset the @SuellaBraverman fan club - so let me be clear. This women sows hate, lies and division. She is wrong. She does not represent the vast majority of Britons. RT if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Thatcher is trending. Never forget she is the womanwho called Osama bin Laden a freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela a terrorist, General Pinochet a friend. And Jimmy Savile 'Sir'.

Why does Farage get a pass? Seriously, why aren’t the press all over him for everything? He’s in the Epstein Files, he broke the ministerial code, the stuff he got up to at school would have brought anyone else down… Why does this honking, frog-faced arse get a pass?

You'll want to be sitting down for this bit. Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends. And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
Prem Sikka@premnsikka

Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them. On 6 August 2024, Ofwat fined them £47m and £17m for sewage dumping. Fines not paid, will not be paid. Firms claim to have invested. No penalty for abusing laws leftfootforward.org/2026/01/public…

Gyll King Post Skip Diplomacy
We found evidence that you took £100k in furlough the year you made £7m profit. And were a director of Digme Fitness with Mrs Sunak hoovering up £600K in grants before closing the company owing VAT you had taken from customers & tax and NICs you had taken from employees.

I've found evidence that we are paying for illegal migrants to play dodgeball in their taxpayer funded accommodation. I have no words anymore.

Something very sinister is happening in the UK: 25% of voters believe people crossing in small boats are the largest share of migrants Truth: 2% 44% think refugees/asylum seekers are the majority of migrants Truth: 16% 48% believe most migrants here are “illegal” Truth: 4%.
