today - we're all maga (not)

Kate Andrews can fuck off - no we are most definitely not all MAGA. After Trumps attempted assassination attempt earlier the violent rhetoric will be ramped up by the Republicans, and some have already tried to blame the Democrats and / or Joe Biden for the attempt. This is of course ignoring Donald Trump's record of mocking the handicapped and assassination attempts (plus serious injury) to the Pelosi's, instigating an insurgence on the capital which caused loss of life after refusing to accept the election result, pandering to the NRA while Republicans pose with their high powered rifles and wear images of them, and even shouting 'Fight Fight' as he was led away from the shooting. His supporters at the rally were blaming the press straight away, aggressively threatening and shouting at them (while no doubt thanking God for saving their glorious leader). Imagine the retaliation that would be taking place in the country if the shooter hadn't been a young white registered Republican? Imagine for even a second what the consequences would be if he had been Mexican, black, Muslim or even 'Woke'.  The USA is more divided and deranged that it has been for decades, with civil war a not too imaginary possibility, and much of that is down to Trump himself, although ably assisted by his deluded power hungry backers on TV and in the Senate, plus the idiotic rally going Fox News watching mainstream media hating supporters who Trump is taking the piss out of.  Sometimes you reap what you sew in this word, but unfortunately the last photograph below will probably seal him the election, as it will appeal to his MAGA disciples, plus it triggers memories of the famous Iwo Jima photograph by Jim Rosenthal.  If there was ever a time Democrat's and left leaning folk need to get out and make their vote count, even if it's for a plate of cold custard versus Trump, it's now, otherwise they will spend many many years regretting not doing so.  Buckle up - it's going to be a bumpy ride.



This idiot is an elected representative.


Attention loving racist who has made a career and fortune from stirring up division is given way too much air time and blames 'Liberals'







This was before the attempt.



This was caused by Trump.

boris being his usual self at the ambani wedding

Watching the images from Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding in Mumbai, I wondered what the twat that is Boris Johnson reminded me off, and it's both of the pictures below this one  I wonder what his (current) wife see in the self promoting narcissistic multi millionaire with the gilt edged lifestyle?  Certainly not his looks.  Let's get the Russian report published and get him prosecuted.

ben habib gets shafted and talks with the doctors

First of all there's hope in the Junior Doctors pay dispute - who would have guessed that actually meeting with them would help with bringing the dispute to an end? It's so good to finally have a grown up sensible government.



On the other hand, Reforms Ben Habib is upset at being removed from his Deputy Leader post. Who could possibly have guessed that the two white right wing owners of the private company that Reform is would have shafted the immigrant? Pass my tiny violin.

the england v netherlands penalty dispute

Me in the pub arguing it was never a penalty#. The Netherlands have a good reason to be fuming  about it, but it's about time England got a lucky break decision wise.

# Also me in the pub trying to persuade people to vote Labour.

england fans on the rampage before the netherlands game

 Another tight game and another last minute goal, but at least England played better, especially in the first half. Then again, l don't think we should have had the penalty, and listening to the commentary none of them expected it either - very soft. We're relying on last minute goals and penalties so far, and really riding our luck, and l certainly don't think Gareth Southgate deserves loads of praise for the performances so far, as it could easily have gone pear shaped. Let's see what the final on Sunday delivers, but l don't hold out much hope. Mind you, l have occasionally been proved wrong in the past, so fingers crossed.

Meanwhile, here's England's top boys looking for trouble before the game.  What a tasty looking firm.

ben habib - irony is dead

Moved here when he was 14, a privately educated millionaire banker, who fails to realise a lot of people will vote Reform to stop people like him emigrating here, and would certainly refer to him in racist terms. Willing to sell out his relatives, countrymen and friends for more money and power. Knobhead.

dickheads in the pub

If you're going out in the immediate future to watch the football or enjoy a pleasant pint with some mates or your other half, beware of these dickheads.  The worlds most boring, loud, overconfident, thick and racist pub quiz team in the land.  They'll probably try and borrow some money off you which you'll never see again, and they will be pissed after two pints.  Probably shit at pool as well. Avoid at all costs. Millionaire fucking grifters exploiting the poor, uneducated, and easily led.

it's only day one and labour are already more grown up

The first day of Labour being in charge, and already they've made some grown up appointments, especially James Timpson, as he's one of the countries good guys.  What a pleasant change, however l do hope the Angela Raynor Housing one was also a sly dig for all the hassle she received from the Tories about selling her house, and l hope it winds them up even more. Even the weather is improving!

A Labour Landslide!! Get in!! Excellent result!!

Despite being at work, l stayed up all night to enjoy and revel in the carnage for the Tory party, and it was well worth it. It's about time these money grabbing, immoral , lying and grifting bunch of chancers fucked off, and l won't be sad to see the back of any of them. It's going to be hard for Labour, but at long last we have some sensible people in charge, who actually do want to help those less fortunate than themselves, instead of just constantly being on the lookout for ways to make a fast buck, and if they're labelled as boring, l don't care. I'd rather have boring than a clown like Johnson, a fuckwit like Truss, or any of the right wing knobheads that will now insist moving further to the right is the way to go.  Fuck them all (and Farage).
