    Andrew Bridgen, anti-vaxxer and general xRW nutjob Tory has defected to The Bad Actors' Reclaim Party. They are well suited.

    But any country whose political system enables a proven Conspiracy theorist jump ship and avoid deselection needs to give it's head a wobble. <doh>

    Eurovision says they will not block Israel from competing in next year's contest as the competition is apolitical

    Anybody remember Russia's entry from this year...?

    Trump keeps saying that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country".
    You know those immigrants, like his mum and his wife and his 1st wife...

    Remember earlier this month where anti-ULEZ bellends set off a bomb in Sidcup, destroying a camera and damaging houses and a van which were in the proximity?

    Well two men have been arrested for this and this is where things get fun, because this is the point where I remind people that both Mayor of Croydon Jason Perry and Policing Minister/MP for Croydon South/bloke who lives up the road from me Chris Philp run a Facebook page encouraging people to smash up ULEZ cameras
    https://insidecroydon.com/2023/09/19/policing-minister-member-of-online-group-that-salutes-vandals/

    A Facebook page which the Metropolitan Police seem to be going out of their way to not mention when talking about the arrests they made...
    https://insidecroydon.com/2023/12/19/met-appeals-for-witnesses-after-two-arrests-over-ulez-bomb/
    ...even though it's a matter of public record who runs the page, considering the BBC have run an article about it - which also shows that Perry's involvement is known to the point that both Sadiq Khan and Barry Garidner are talking about it
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66939644

    Now, I'm just saying, it would be terrible to see Anti Terror cops hauling away Chrissy Three Gates in the early hours due to his inciting of a domestic terror attack, but as Anti Terror police nabbed the blokes who set off the Sidcup bomb then it certainly isn't unreasonable to expect that the next time I see the gates of his two driveways dented to buggery is because the police battered them down when they came to haul him away...

    It's funny how, just yesterday, I couldn't remember who the Health Secretary was

    Now I remember that I was blocking it out...

    I always find that insulting people that you're negotiating with is an excellent tactic.
    Definitely gets them onside.

    Anyone who isn't a consultant is a junior doctor... or in other words, a doctor! On average you can be a junior doctor for 13 years+. They're not fcking training all that time, what a stupid moron.

    Counterpoint: make it possible for countries to receive negative points, just to see how long before Israel's entry goes home

    Oh for Cthulhu's sake, can we have one party leader who doesn't have a terminal case of Short Man Syndrome?

    Let's see how things are going in Argentina

    ...okay, the clattering ****wit just introduced 300 new laws without a debate, let alone a vote, in parliament

    Some highlights
    - Complete deregulation of the housing market
    - Complete deregulation of planning permission
    - Complete deregulation of the labour market and labour protections
    - Selling off all national services to private funds
    - Removal of subsidies on public transport, so bus fares now cost 10x what they did last week

    He's going to be found dead in a ditch by this time next year, isn't he?

    As the UK lurches into a Tory-inspired recession, it's good to know that patriotism is alive and well <laugh>

    We've reached "Israel has the right to participate in Eurovision" levels of discourse

    ...and, yup, that's another PR War they're losing

    All LGBTQ+ ppl must side with murderous, oppressive regimes just because some of them are pretty cool about the LGBTQ+

    Good logic.

    So...we've gone from a UN Resolution that called for an immediate ceasefire 2 weeks ago which the US rejected...

    to...

    UN Resolution which doesn't mention any ceasefire and instead tells the Hamas to release all hostages immediately, which is approved <laugh>

    Yeh cos that's gonna work <doh>

    The UN Security Council is an absolute joke lol. It's just ruled, coerced, and blackmailed by 5 countries but mainly by the US.
