How the fuck is he a fellow of the society in the first place?
- Comment on Scottish Government considers quitting X following owner Elon Musk’s use of platform to incite violence 1 day ago:
They need to think of an alternative way to reach their racist voters.

😬 not sure you’ve understood correctly my comment. There’s a good Wikipedia article on the subject. Here you go.

- Comment on Britain trained Israeli soldiers fighting in Gaza 1 day ago:
What nobody has properly explained to me is why… why these Western governments fall over themselves to help Israel when they are clearly hell bent on genocide?
Like what is the risk reward for them? Are they being paid stupid amounts of money? Is everyone in power blackmailed by Mossad? What is it to these countries like the US, UK, Germany, etc ? If Afghanistan or Iran came to us and said “Hey can you give us weapons and train our military so we can clear out these pesky people on the edges of our country and buy our goods and services made from occupied land for a shit ton of money” would we do that?
I think I know the reason for this: good old fashioned racism. But it constantly baffles me why the UK risks being associated with Israeli genocide like this.
- Comment on Four arrested after photo of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle 1 day ago:
were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications
It’s just performative. An exercise to waste time and make it look like the police and state are “doing something”. They probably take their cues from the Home Office.
- Comment on First people charged with supporting Palestine Action plead not guilty 2 days ago:
Overton window.

- Comment on The Stop Trump coalition published this video 3 days ago:
We need to decide this with a “Great British Brit Off”. I’m sure Channel 4 will commission it.
The decider will be who makes the best curry. The winner gets to claim real Britishness.
- Comment on Musk’s Grok AI bot falsely suggests police misrepresented footage of far-right rally in London 4 days ago:
It’s comical how powerless we are to combat musk’s bullshit. There’s literally no sanction we could apply to him.
Seriously go after the companies that advertise on his platform. That’s the only way. Cut his funding (when it’s not the US taxpayer).
- Comment on Police seek man who called for Keir Starmer to be ‘assassinated’ at far-right rally 4 days ago:
In the past I would have thought this nutter is just… well… a cunt. And nothing will come of his insane words. But after the whole Kirk thing 😬.
Arrest this man now as a terrorist.
- Comment on Alleged rape of Sikh woman in West Midlands being treated as hate crime 5 days ago:
Detectives are hunting for two white male suspects alleged to have racially abused the woman during the assault in broad daylight. Police say they believe one suspect had a shaved head and wore gloves.
Bloody natives! Being born over here and raping our women. Smash the gangs! Who wants to start a massive country wide riot because our women aren’t safe from these illegal natives? I bet the government is even giving them free health care.
- Comment on Jewish anti-genocide protester had perfect response to police after arrest in Parliament Square 6 days ago:
😆 are you suggesting Keir Starmer is a paedophile?
- Comment on What the NHS can learn from the European country that helped more people survive cancer 6 days ago:
But does he think that’s possible in the UK? After all, Westminster is not known for much long-term, cross-party thinking.
Well. I think we all know the answer to that.
Great read though. Fascinating case study.
- Comment on Barclays boss urges UK ministers to limit public sector pay rises 6 days ago:
Inflation only pay rises by default. Anything else needs to be proved on merit. That way you’re not “loosing money” as you keep up with inflation and the incentive is to improve your work output to gain more. This includes high and low earners.
- Comment on Top Labour official married to lobbyist for Israeli arms firm 1 week ago:
LOL keep voting for the party with the “correct” colour rosette. Spoiler: they’re both the same.

I’m so used to these sorts of post being in bad faith and piss taking. Honestly not sure which one this is 😅.
- Comment on The correct way 1 week ago:
I like how it is an interesting flag from an aesthetic point of view. So intricate and detailed. Unlike most tricolours. It even works in black and white pretty well.
I acknowledge, however, the political and historical controversies it carries. Not trying to undo that.

- Comment on Google’s $45 Million Contract With Netanyahu's Office to Spread Israeli Propaganda 2 weeks ago:
Come on now, Google is just a business trying to make ends meet. All the starving, dying Palestinians in an open air concentration camp have to do is spend $45 million on a counter advertising campaign. Like… Duh.
