Oh Lord, I have a mate who goes on about those (a petrolhead, unsurprisingly)...

"You know who's got these 15 minute cities? China, that's who!"

China, simultaneously* dangerously Green, and chucking out so many pollutants the rest of us may as well not bother...

*And a long way away and not on the average ReFukker's travel list.

Have that lot admitted that China's installing renewables yet, or is it still "new coal fired power station every 5 minutes"?

They use the coal fired power stations to run the sweatshops churning out the solar panels. It's like that prison on Andor, with Chinese Andy Serkis keeping everyone in line.

Reform appoints a new deputy chairman, it's our old friend Paul Nuttalls of UKIPs. Apparently he'll have a behind the scenes role. Wise.

Farage has been musing about appointing people who aren't MPs to his Cabinet. Unelected bureaucrats, one might call them.

It's a nice promotion for him, but barely compensates for missing the Pope job.

He's fully aware that any majority he manages to put together is going to be so full of oddballs, fruitcakes and plain cunts, he won't be able to assemble half a competent cabinet from the lot of them.

He doesn't even trust his MPs now with proper shadow briefs. The last thing he needs is Sarah Pochin or Lee Anderson trying to discuss the 10 Year Health Plan. All that any of them seem to do is broad brush anti-immigrant anti-woke.

I'd hope they'd not get away with this in a General Election, but who knows?

Boris Johnson managed to do it.

Indeed, but he was already the PM. So we knew what we'd get- Sajid Javid as Chancellor, Ben Wallace at Defence, Gove in the Cabinet Office, all these had experience and some gravitas.

Who's Farage going to tout for his Cabinet? Of the current MPs, Tice is the only one I can imagine getting half through an interview.

As long ago as 2006, David Cameron accurately described UKIP, one of Reform UK’s previous incarnations, as “ sort of a bunch of ... fruitcakes and loonies and closet racists mostly”.

He was right. And Reform UK are exactly the same people. The people that gave you the economic catastrophe that is Brexit. We really need to paint these cunts in their true colours.

<waves hand dismissively> "Fake news..." /s

And a large number of folk will dismiss it as "fake news from the scared, woke uniparty".

I'm scared. Genuinely scared what 2029 will bring.

They're on a mission from Putin.

How much for the little girls?


Lines from the comedy film "Blues Brothers" M'lud.
Yes, it was funny, famous people, car chases, visual gags.
Yes 'mlud there was a sequel, but I'd like to plead the fifth about that.

"You can't lie to a nun."

As an aside, I watched a YT video where someone was driving a 1970 Chevy Caprice: I remarked that the speedometer bore a remarkable resemblance to the one fitted to a certain 1974 Dodge Monaco...

They'e not exactly, they're worse. UKIP mk I wouldn't have tolerated Tice, Anderson and Tommeh's rag-tag army. They wouldn't have gone anywhere near the dog-whistle racism we're getting from them now.
