@gigsandtours I bought tickets for the Foo Fighters for this Saturday 22nd and despite getting a notification email and many attempts to access them they're still not visible in the SeeTickets app. It's rubbish! Where are my tickets!

Morning Happy fathers day to all the dads. Its when you don't have your dad around days like today you try and remember the quality time you had with your dad. Today give your dad or the father figure in your life a quality day to remember. The Luther Vandross song I never get tired of hearing

What do you say to a religious MAGA supporter who says you're going to hell?

@PlotACourse @Iyervval Having your neck broken is instantaneous. Being slowly choked to death takes minutes. The thicker and stronger your neck, the longer it takes.
English
@Iyervval Fair question here: do we have any evidence that neck breaking hanging is preferable to the other kind?
Wouldn’t want to pick but they seem similarly awful.

When I first landed in Tehran in 1985 my first visual of the city was of 3 people hanging from a crane in a roundabout. It wasn’t the humane neck-break hanging, but the slow strangulation lift hanging. The man responsible? Ebrahim Raisi. Today his body was found charred beyond recognition. (Img not mine)

@misspaulalondon @daveatherton Doesn't matter whether the speed limit applies or not.
He knocked her down and killedher.
If he'd done it with his fists or a baseball bat, he'd be prosecuted. So try him for manslaughter.

Cyclist who knocked down and killed pensioner, 81, while she walked across the road in London - amid fury that he was spared prosecution because speeding laws don't apply to bikes.
It’s time cyclists abided by speeding laws, what do you think?

Started reading this and thought, "Yes, absolutely, Trump should never get back in the Oval office", then realised this delusional idiot was talking about Biden! Unbelievable! If the rest of the World had a vote Biden would get 99%+ and Trump <1%. But, you vote for Putin's puppet

I am desperately trying to wrap my brain around how our country was suckered into allowing one mentally unstable, grifting, womanizing, incompetent, criminal to turn our Democracy on its head. What’s even more brain wrenching is how many people just like him are in our government. I’m afraid that for decades we have enjoyed our freedoms and way of life, and have let our guard down and let the enemy infiltrate our government. It is terrifying to say the least to see how many of our citizens follow this EXTREMELY DANGEROUS pied piper over the cliff. America, WE MUST RECTIFY THIS IN NOVEMBER. Absolutely NO ONE should be staying home and leaving their responsibility to someone else. VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE.

Nate White, a British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

@BlkLilHart @SteveLovesAmmo You do know fascists are far right? Like Trump & MAGA?

At this point, I don’t care if Trump threw cheeseburgers against the wall, named all 365 days of the year Christian Visibility Day, told everyone in America to storm the Capitol, or anything else that has already been debunked…
Joe Biden’s handlers are literally fucking over America.
Don’t expect an apology, liberals.
