Having done a quick and dirty analysis on a random selection, about 420, of 'You can feel the tension rising in the UK" cut-and-paste posts, I can conclude that 96% have no name, avatar or location, and 83% are automated bots. So who's paying for this? Hmmm?

They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, paid holiday and sick leave. It would make them tens of billions a year. But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

It’s hard to overstate what a disaster Boris Johnson turned out to be. It’s likely none of the present tensions would be happening in the UK if he hadn’t done this. The worst thing is, I couldn’t tell you if he did it on purpose or by accident. Either is quite possible.

Saw a bloke on the tube at 7.30am peel the cover off a Sainsbury's trifle. People were watching, interested to see how he'd approach it. He got a large Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut bar out of his pocket, unwrapped it, then used it as a spoon to eat the trifle. Sensational viewing

When you order a hamburger with no tomatoes and it comes with tomatoes and someone says just pick them off. It's already been tainted with the juices Karen....tainted.

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a £250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets. What they don't say: it would cost the UK £34bn. Thread:

Well, well, well. Baroness Casey says Starmer was right to wait until her audit was published before ordering a statutory inquiry. And then criticises the Tory opposition for their opportunism. @KemiBadenoch @CPhilpOfficial @Conservatives Opportunists who did nothing .

Well that was quick. 🤔 Farage back in control of Reform UK Party Ltd. So much for that party democracy he promised his ‘membership’ at their last Party conference. Never trust Farage.

Reform UK company name switched back. Has @reformparty_uk just ‘un-democratised’ itself? It also begs the question - are all those subscriptions now @Nigel_Farage’s? If you’re a Reform UK subscriber - you may have just been had.
