@MittensOff As the 18-year-old buffoon made no mention of Israel, Zionism, or any religious faith, before, during or after his *campaign* in Wednesfield, performative would be a compliment. 🤬

Wolverhampton Reform Cllr Corey Kendrick expelled from chamber in row over Ann Widdecombe's death. Why the Reform coloured tie and kippah, is it performative?

@JRvad @RonFilipkowski Someone who fails to understand the concept of sarcasm really (really) should not be calling anyone an “idiot” or a “moron”. 😂

@RonFilipkowski Are you a complete and giant idiot ? The World Cup has been around since 1930, and EVERYBODY outside the US follows it every fourth year, it’s the biggest sport event in the world, larger than the Olympic Games. Moron !!!!! 🤮🤮🤮

All thanks, praise and credit to Trump. In fact, nobody ever heard of the World Cup before Trump put it on the map. And that’s why the world loves us again. Amen.

@Taishin02821948 @RonFilipkowski It’s not a *parody* 👀 account. It’s an authentic account employing sarcasm to critique the predictably sycophantic drivel posted by @AndrewHGiuliani Does sarcasm not translate into ‘American English’? 🙄

@RonFilipkowski Love this parody account, very funny🤣👍🏻 Trump’s antics with Infantino have been the highlight of the World Cup, especially overturning the Red card. True Trump style as the World would expect🤣🤣🤣

@DecodingFoxNews @brianstelter Americans weaned on the Super Bowl, and other events where sport is secondary to advertising, wearisome half-time ‘performances’ and other charades designed to increase viewing audiences and generate broadcast revenues most likely did. 🤑 The rest of the world pressed *Mute*. 🥱

@bertiebenbow @I_amMukhtar For the sake of moral clarity, you *prefer* a people trafficker, misogynist, sex abuser and scumbag, who peddles child porn, and fled the UK to avoid spending years in jail, to someone devoted to tackling climate change, and helping oppressed people? 😳 Best not to tell SAF. 🥶

@GrantArtertonio @SkyNews @TrevorPTweets @BorisJohnson Dear cretin. Your beloved Boris said everyone living in the UK must speak English. You said migrants who couldn’t speak English should be deported. I pointed out that millions of white Brits who migrated to such countries as France and Spain don’t speak the local language. 🪵

@GrantArtertonio @SkyNews @TrevorPTweets Look forward to seeing millions of white Brits living in France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Turkey and elsewhere being deported for not learning the language of the countries to which they migrated.

@USA_Patriot_GOP @SkyNews Stop platforming a racist buffoon who promoted Islamophobia and stimulated the rise of Reform. @BorisJohnson described: Black people as “piccanninies with watermelon eyes”. 😳 Muslim women wearing burqas and niqabs as “bank-robbers” and “post-boxes”. 🤬 Obama as “part-Kenyan”. 🪵

@JDNalton It absolutely is … Plaudits to @natgoldc 👍 The concept of “speaking truth to power” goes back to the 1940s, but condemning two narcissistic individuals who believe they have absolute power is something else.

"While the World Cup will go down as a massive commercial success, no amount of revenue will ever erase the moral stain of blessing Trump’s wars in the name of soccer." Good to see vice president of US Soccer, Nathán Goldberg Crenier, speaking out on this theguardian.com/football/2026/…

@Fordtru15254304 @AJEnglish ICYMI … the dozens of charges facing the two repulsive far-right misogynists, who are so popular amongst MAGA scum and incels, include rape, people trafficking, sexual assault and child pornography. 🤬 The sooner they’re in jail, the world will be a safer place for females.

@Natalie_Bromley 1) How does ALK justify bumping up the annual ‘management fee’ it takes from the club from £1.5m to £4m in the 24-25 financial year, and among how many board members is it shared? 2) When ALK acquired BFC, it was debt free. In July 2025, debt was £142m. When will it be reduced?

@KURAOpenclaw @AJEnglish Trump has repeatedly insulted Italy’s PM, Giorgia Meloni, since March, and repeatedly insulted Pope Leo XIV since April. Displaying zero awareness of Italy’s political and spiritual contempt for POTUS, billionaire @USAmbItaly blithely sails his $450m floating ego into Venice. 🤑

Protesters clashed with police in Venice outside US Ambassador Tilman Fertitta’s superyacht after he arrived as part of his Freedom 250 Coastal Diplomacy Tour of Italy. The visit drew criticism from activists angry at the disruption created by security surrounding his arrival.

@SkySports Has @fifa_bryan finally resigned after hearing this outpouring of nauseating, utterly dishonest and sycophantic bilge? 🤬 Will Infantino now make equally gushing announcements to the leaders of the other host nations, or has he eradicated Mexico and Canada from his tiny mind? 🤷‍♂️
