Not as Dpressed, cricket it back

@DamianLow3 He wants people to die to increase profits. Reform, taking the UK back to the 1800s.

Latest party of the people update Reform UK's housing chief Simon Dudley says post-Grenfell safety regulations have gone too far. “Everyone dies in the end. It’s just how you go, right? You can’t stop tragic things from happening. Fires do happen" An insult to all the victims

@RDPHistory How accurate was it?

2) Played here by the incredible Ian Richardson in the film "An Ungentlemanly Act" where many of my photo stills are taken from, as some may notice.

April 1st 1982: As things begin to get serious, Rex Hunt arms himself with a Browning 9mm pistol. He was actually a well trained shot with a pistol, and was no stranger to danger, having been a Spitfire pilot as well as serving in the British Embassy at the fall of Saigon... 1/2

@RaeComm From what I remember from 1994 the Italians can actually enjoy the World Cup without the worry about how their team will do.

Not everyone will see it this way but the World Cup has never been - and should never be - akin to a select invitation list with preferred guests. 74/78/94 no England, 82/86 no Netherlands after back-to-back finals, now 3 times in a row, no Italy. We enjoyed them all anyway.

@BladeoftheS You are right. But FIFA is more corrupt than Trump, so they won't do

@MoarPart @rorysutherland I still think the best one is Lola by the Kinks. A song that is about someone who may be trans. The BBC banned it, until Ray Davies changed Coca Cola to Cherry Cola

The BBC's obsession with avoiding product names and trade marks was comical at times. Offending labels were often covered by first aid plasters and coloured sticky tape. It is, therefore, oddly hypocritical that the Corporation turns a blind eye to film producers, publishers, West End theatres, record labels, and visual artists, all of whom are frequently invited on air to plug their money-making schemes.

Compared to the distress I suffered from age 7 when BBC continuity announcers daily persisted in calling a cartoon "Boss Cat" when it was patently called "Top Cat", this is manageable. The reason, as I only discovered after decades of trauma, was that there was (briefly) a brand of catfood called Top Cat, and the BBC thought that merely uttering these words would constitute advertising.

@TrumpGirlOnFire @LightOnLiberty TherTe are people making claims. There is no actual proof, because IT DIDN@T HAPPEN. Trump is a big baby who can't accept it when he loses. MAGA are stupid enough to believe him

@LightOnLiberty There is so much proof. How much more do they need?

A Dominion contractor with two degrees, swore under oath in her affidavit after working 27 hours at Detroit's TCF Center that she witnessed MASSIVE amounts of clear election fraud involving late-night ballot dumps. She detailed how her manager, Nick Economagunas (part owner of Dominion), ordered her there instead of the Detroit elections building. She saw vans FULL of ballots arriving, photos of people carrying ballots out of a "Chicago warehouse," and at 4:30 AM, Mr. Baxter personally brought in boxes from the rear entrance. She stated each box holding approx 600 ballots, totaling around 50,000 ILLEGAL ballots dumped onto tables just before a 6 AM shift change! This is exactly the kind of election fraud we've been warning about that was running RMAOAMT across the country during the 2020 election!

@nicksortor Is this Trump who voted by postal ballot? Total hypocrite

🚨 BREAKING — IT’S OFFICIAL: President Trump has SIGNED an executive order RESTRICTING the use of mail-in ballots nationwide This SHOULD go into effect before the 2026 midterm elections A temporary measure until the SAVE America Act is passed! 🇺🇸🔥

@chrismchittock It was a 'friendly' so Southgate's England may have lost.

Southgate’s England wouldn’t have lost that match I find it really embarrassing that a major footballing nation doesn’t have a manager of matching nationality

@kyeruphiona We had a meeting where senior managers talked of team members as resources. After a while on lady, resembling Margaret Rutherford, got up and said angrily 'I am not a resource, I am a real person'. And yes I'm certain she misquoted on purpose.

A coworker died yesterday morning😭. ​HR knew by 9 :00 AM, but they kept us working all day. They finally told us around 4 :30 PM, then had the nerve to say, "You can head home early if you need to"—knowing we all finish at 5: 00 PM anyway. ​This morning, it’s back to "business as usual." Some of my friends are literally sobbing at their desks, but they’re expected to work and be productive. No time to grieve. ​It’s a cold reality. Within a week, the company will have his job posted online. Within a month, someone else will be sitting in his chair. ​But his family ,his children will still talk about him every day,they will ask where is daddy , His wife will mourn him for ages ,he was the love of her life . ​At work, we are just a "resource" that can be replaced in a week. At home, we are the world. Stop giving your best energy to a desk that will forget you, and giving the "leftovers" to the people who never will.

@OWS1892 He who pays the piper calls the tune. If an MP is giving their salary away then they are working for someone else who is paying them more

"Good MPs give their salaries to charity. Good MPs are millionaires." I don't like this narrative.

@JDunlap1974 Are these the same people who are proving that Trump won in 2020? Or the people who are paying out the 'savings' made by DOGE?

Pam Bondi and the FBI are reportedly constructing significant cases against current members of Congress and federal agencies, based on criminal evidence uncovered by DOGE

@C_Midd99 @bil4321 @VerhofstadtQ Labour closed small inefficient pits and replaced then with large mines. They didn't decimate communities, that was Thatcher. But you don't care about people of areas still suffering 40 years later.

@yorks_dpressed @bil4321 @VerhofstadtQ Harold Wilson (Labour Prime Minister, in his two terms: 1964–1970 and 1974–1976) closed the most coal mines in the UK, with 253 pits shut during his time in office.

I've spoken to quite a few people recently who still hate Margaret Thatcher for what she supposedly did to the coal mining industry 40 years ago, but they fully support Mad Red Ed Milliband destroying the UK oil and gas industry. Strange people.

@james_macsween @VerhofstadtQ Are you really that stupid. They closed small inefficient pits and replaced them with larger mines. They didn't wipe out communities like Thatcher did. But, as usual, right whingers don't care about people.

@yorks_dpressed @VerhofstadtQ Labour closed more pits.

@Spanishape29 @VerhofstadtQ Lies, dammed lies and statistics. Labour closed down small pits and opened large mines. Thatcher decimated large areas of England, Wales and Scotland. If you cared you'd know that many of these areas have never recovered. This included Notts, where scabs worked thru the strike.

@VerhofstadtQ They would be pro the doom goblin as well, who’s done more harm than Thatcher and Wilson who actually closed more mines than Maggie.

@VerhofstadtQ @C_Midd99 More mines were closed under Labour governments. And the miners chose to strike when there was a years worth of coal stockpiled. Scargill’s fault.

@The_Autochthon @JackBMontgomery You are wrong. The Anglican monstrosity is a church on steroids that makes you feel small when you enter it. The inside of the Wigwam gives peace to anyone with a soul. The model of the original design looks like it would have been beautiful outside but not so good inside.

@JackBMontgomery The Metropolitan Cathedral really is a tragedy of architecture. Its shameful how the Catholics just let the Anglican cathedral across the road outshine it. Atleast the Metropolitan still gets used atleast. The Anglican Cathedral is basically a museum nowadays.

Lutyens's cathedral is probably the greatest (mostly) unbuilt structure in Britain.

@StevieHKop1 @JackBMontgomery Inside. Sorry but outside it's a concrete mess. And I spent 3 years staring at it whilst I should have been listening to University lectures

@JackBMontgomery It's beautiful

@cienfuegos1958 @JackBMontgomery Sorr, but I disagree about outside, & I spent 3 years staring at if from University lecture theatres. Inside it's a place of wonder that moves anyone with a soul. The original design looks to have been the opposite, so they got it right by accident.

@JackBMontgomery It’s a beautiful building, inside and out.

@selmerapido @JackBMontgomery The Anglican monstrosity is a cathedral on steroids that makes you feel small. Inside the Wigwam its a place of peace that moves anyone with a soul (nothing to do with religion btw).

@JackBMontgomery Paddy’s hat looks better than another domed pastiche piece of shite.
