@WBalfry @SandyofSuffolk What future are they getting 🤔

@SandyofSuffolk Perhaps we think of future generations eh?

To the few who will still vote Labour: Haven't you heard Starmer's monotone voice, his lack of passion, his lies? And why are you happy Miliband is costing you, me and the country so much more than is necessary with his net zero nonsense? And don't you care that Reeves' policies are bankrupting small businesses? What's wrong with you? 🤔🧐

@Maccgardenfest @TheGriftReport Bit late for that

@TheGriftReport Well at least one good thing has come out of Net-Zero. I do not want nefarious AI tracking the shit out of us.

Red Ed Miliband is being blamed after OpenAI dramatically pulled its planned £31 billion investment in Britain. The tech giant has scrapped plans for a huge AI data centre because of Britain’s cripplingly high energy costs and the Government’s Net Zero policies. The project would have created thousands of jobs and helped turn the UK into a global AI superpower. Critics say Miliband’s refusal to approve new gas-fired power stations and fresh North Sea drilling has left Britain one of the most expensive and unreliable places in Europe for energy-hungry industries like AI. Another major blow to Labour’s “Britain as AI superpower” ambitions.

@grey4626 He isn't leader of such he is a nodding dog yes man reading what's put in front of him Worst pm in my lifetime

Starmer, you spineless fucking pussy. There you stand at the podium, eyes darting like a cornered rat, admitting the US-Israel hammer is smashing Iran’s nuclear dreams and that the Strait of Hormuz is now a war zone choking off 20 % of the planet’s oil flow...and what’s your grand British response? “We won’t join the fight… but we’ll chat with allies about reopening shipping lanes once the smoke clears.” Jesus Christ. That’s not leadership, that’s the whimper of a neutered lapdog who’s spent years castrating his own military while sucking at the EU teat and hiding behind NATO’s American shield. You and your continental cuckmates...Macron the metrosexual peacock, Scholz the eternal apology machine, the whole Brussels eunuch choir...have spent decades turning Europe into a continent of luxury welfare queens. Defense budgets? Barely scraping 2 % GDP while the United States carries 70 % of NATO’s actual combat power. You gutted your armies, sold your industrial base, and replaced warrior culture with pronoun workshops and net-zero fairy tales. Psychologically, it’s textbook: post-war trauma metastasized into learned helplessness. Two world wars left you terrified of your own shadow, so you outsourced your spine to Washington. Now, when the real axis of oil-choking tyrants flexes, you offer “diplomatic coordination” and “contingency planning.” Translation: please, big American daddy, keep the tankers moving so our economies don’t implode while we virtue-signal from the sidelines. Fuck that. The United Kingdom does not exist to be Europe’s unpaid security guard or NATO’s perpetual junior partner in a club where half the members treat Article 5 like a suggestion and the other half treat it as an American credit card. Strategic reality: the North Atlantic alliance was built for a Soviet threat that no longer exists in the same form. Today it’s a drag anchor on sovereign will. Britain’s true interests...energy security, naval dominance in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific, deep bilateral ties with the Five Eyes and AUKUS...do not require us to bleed for a continent that refuses to grow its own balls. Let Europe die on the vine or finally man the fuck up. Cut the subsidies. Force them to spend 3–4 % of GDP on real warfighting capability instead of rainbow parades and migrant hotels. If they can’t, let the Russians, the Iranians, and the Chinese carve up the carcass. Natural selection. We leave NATO. We leave it now. Not out of isolation...out of lethal clarity. Britain first. America first where it aligns. No more blood, treasure, or prestige squandered on a pack of pussies who would rather manage decline than fight for survival. The standard is simple: strength is not negotiable. Weakness is not an option. And any “leader” who chooses the latter deserves nothing but contempt, history’s boot, and the cold realization that the age of cucks is over. Time to grow balls or get out of the way. 💀🪖🗡️

@sophiegrenham Don't buy it then Problem solved

I just paid €4.80, like a proper fool, for an almond croissant from The Art of Coffee, a perfectly pleasant but fairly run of the mill café chain where their pain au chocolat is, more often than not, stale. Now, this croissant is large and stuffed with filling, but nearly a fiver for a pastry is simply too much. Yet this is how we're going. I could have said no thanks and walked out when the server told me the price, but you know when someone insults you and you freeze, and it takes you a minute to react? That, except with pastry.

@danbardell A bit like what happened to a few players who have had great seasons and then fail to be consistent a bit like Ramsey

Watched some highlights of when we beat Man City in 2023. What happened to that Leon Bailey?! #AVFC

@Sacha_Lord Run a 30 seat wet only pub and electricity us around 1k a month

End the Energy Rip Off: Gov't must give Ofgem more power to be able to step in and insist operators are released from untenable long term contracts. Energy companies must stop using energy intensive Hospitality businesses as a cash cow, crippling them, whilst at the same time recording record profits.

With the Spring Statement this week, this is my 6 point plan to revive the UKs Hospitality sector...THREAD: The reduction in VAT coming out of COVID was a lifeline for the sector and should be reinstated at 13%. This would allow the UK to compete with many European countries where average rates are around 9%. Ultimately, 13% of revenue for the exchequer, is better than 20% of nothing, which is a shut business (to say nothing of the lost PAYE/NI/Business Rates/Corp Tax).

@benjledger Lost 3 important players and still trying to play the same way with lesser skilled players

I am absolutely furious. Emery has absolutely lost it the last 5 weeks. Absolutely killing us. Same poor, boring football. Same poor, out of form players picked every week. Predictable and shit #avfc

@villaontour_ Im row 34 in k5 and other than the same ST snd regulars its all hospitality around us and I sometimes am not sure if some know where they are sitting Hospitality best suited to side stands not the upper holte imo

We’ve already got one. It’s called the Holte End. Bin the hospitality in there too. #AVFC

@TomRutherford17 @AVFCOfficial What happened to fortress villa Park 🤔

@AVFCOfficial Cannot believe these home performances lately. Absolutely hopeless

Goal. Leeds take the lead. 🟣 0-1 ⚫️ || 31' #AVLLEE

@SandyofSuffolk We used to have Halifax, nat West, santander plus barclays only z few years ago now we have nationwide left with 3 of the 4 other buildings empty (hertford) in Ware we have none left

In Woodbridge, we used to have a Nat West, a Barclays, a Lloyds, an HSBC. In Felixstowe, we used to have all of the above, plus a TSB, Santander and Halifax. In Framlingham, the bank is now a coffee shop. Aldeburgh no bank anymore. Leiston no bank anymore. Now? We have a lady in the library in Felixstowe with a long queue and an hour wait. Or a shop in Woodbridge where you can see someone, maybe once a week, but not if you're a Halifax or Santander customer. So for me, it's now a 34 mile round trip. If you have a query that can't be dealt with on the 'phone, you're told to go to the branch. But there isn't one. And this is progress? 🤔😠

@crypto_dragonz Had the best black pudding in Cologne last year served with mashed potato and apple sauce 😋

@TheVillaHome Modern day ballotelli

Had some unreal moments of magic in a Villa shirt, but clearly caused some issues behind the scenes re: attitude etc. Last Thursday he showed why cashing in for £65m was absolutely the right decision. Constantly offside, rolling around the pitch, throwing his arms up when things didn’t go his way, and for large parts of the game, all 90 minutes in fact, found himself in Tyrone Mings’ pocket

@NilSatisNews We can't

Michael Keane accidently pulls someone’s ’long’ hair when going for a header = sent off for “Violent Conduct” Jack Grealish sarcastically claps a referee = sent off Gabriel Martinelli throws a ball & pushes an injured Conor Bradley who is later stretched off = yellow card Make it make sense…

@EssexPR @Keir_Starmer Not a bloody clue

Who is advising these morons ?? Literally no one wants to have longer hours atm. Longer hours means more costs. Pubs are reducing hours to save on staffing & energy costs. @Keir_Starmer - sack your advisors

@Masteraidsx I have 3 or 4 in my Hertford pub that I bar several times a season 🤣

Crystal Palace may be the only other club in the Prem whose fans I genuinely like, there seems to be a lot of respect between us. #AVFC #CPFC

@EssexPR @Keir_Starmer We close at least a hour earlier most nights as no customers and currently reduced Monday and Sunday closing to 9pm

One sign that @Keir_Starmer knows absolutely nothing about pubs, is that he keeps repeating the line of allowing us to open longer… Firstly, most pubs are struggling to afford to staff their current hours. Staying open longer incurs extra costs. Secondly, customers aren’t staying out as late anymore. Times have changed.

@NotFarLeftAtAll Not sure i would leave completely but France and Germany may well get me as a part time visitor

BE HONEST… If you won £25 million on the lottery would you move away from the UK? Where would you go?

@mws 318!!

How many subs on YouTube are you ending 2025 with?

@vidIQ 88k

How many views did you get this year?

@Art0fThinking That's a problem for them not me
