'bank job' - more self important withering from liz truss

 I do kind of feel that Liz Truss may actually be unwell, but at least her new book of trying to shift the blame from her disastrous government and budget is 'short'. After all, there are only so many excuses, even for her scrambled reasoning.

everyone ready for sleep cartoon

 


the french riots and le penn coming to power

Rather sadly, l fear this cartoon may be prophetic, and Le Penn will gain power. Then again, there may be many more riots if she does so.

As for just blaming 'immigrants' (who will shoulder most of the blame afterwards) or the riots, here's my view. 

The riots were started as protests about schools and schooling. Then it evolved into a cost of living protest and cuts to welfare and health, followed by anger at the police aggression and force against the protesters, leading to a general distrust of the politicians backing the crackdown and enforcing the cuts and laws. Teachers and Fire Fighters were also backing the rioters and supported by them early on, so it's a lot more nuanced than right wing press and gobshites would have you believe.

rupert lowe is becoming more deranged, desperate and racist

 Rupert Lowe and his Restore message for the idiots, as he becomes more deranged and desperate. Hopefully Reform and Restore will split the votes of the racists and easily led, which will help the left wing parties. Fancy having so much money and being so upset and vindictive, rather than enjoying what little time he has left on this earth.

the newly unveiled lord woodbine mural in liverpool 8

Another mural l can get behind in sunny Liverpool.  Lord Woodbine (Harry Phillips) and the lads.  Well played to everyone involved. My relatives favourite cigarettes many moons ago, which l used to collect for them from our corner shop at the top of our street in Bootle.


An old packet of Woodbines.


The sort l used to buy back in the day.

richard tice and isabel oakeshott tie the knot

I'm sure Tice's ex wife (who he cheated on) and the rest of the world will be pleased they are in one hate filled racist household, rather than separate ones. At least God has actually got his finger out and has been fucking around with their flights and luggage for their honeymoon. Very nasty people.

jd vance, louis 16th and the french riots - trying to blame immigrants (as usual)

 



On 21 January 1793, Louis XVI, at age 38, was beheaded by a guillotine on the Place de la Révolution. As Louis XVI mounted the scaffold, he appeared dignified and resigned. He delivered a short speech in which he pardoned "...those who are the cause of my death.... ".[71] He then declared himself innocent of the crimes of which he was accused, praying that his blood would not fall back on France.[72] Many accounts suggest Louis XVI's desire to say more, but Antoine Joseph Santerre, a general in the National Guard, halted the speech by ordering a drum roll. The former king was then quickly beheaded

Toodle pip

the reform newspaper

As if they don't get enough coverage on Question Time, the BBC, most of the press and their own GB 'News' to spread there hate and blame, the twats at Reform have started their own paper. This is what happens when one party (actually a company) gets millions of pounds of backing by their rich friends who will get even richer if Reform achieve power. At the expense of the poor. 

Saves buying toilet paper l guess, or return it to Reform's freepost address, as that costs them money.

me watching reform defending more evidence of racism in their party

 More bullshit from Reform as they blame the press for exposing their own racism and misogyny. As you would expect. The press will brush it under the table and move on as usual. Now imagine how long this would be reported on by the press and BBC id it had been Labour exposed in this way.

mick jagger at the beatles shea stadium concert (plus the brian epstein 1967 book)

I was reading the rather excellent '1967 The World of Brian Epstien and The Beatles' book and  discovered in it's pages that Mick Jagger was at The Beatles concert at Shea stadium in 1966. My flabber was certainly gasted, but here's some photographic proof. There's always more to learn and discover if you have an interest in such things. Then again, l'm a very sad individual.

here's an ai image and message l can get behind - blame the less fortunate

There's always someone less fortunate to blame by the right, instead of the institutions and billionaires behind the poverty affecting many. It wasn't that long ago that Polish and Turkish people were being used as problems, but it's never the rich at fault. They just exploit the ill educated and badly informed who suffer the most to vote for them, alongside their already well off supporters.
