"The service has been super reliable and on the odd occasion where there are issues, support is quick and from technically competent staff, not call centre bods. Servers are UK based, which was important to us from a GDPR perspective."

Well said @zackpolanski.bsky.social

The perfect response to the rage baiting, sore losers, Reform UK

Media should stop pandering to every bit of nonsense, distraction and lies, Reform UK out out.

Interesting point made by pollster Luke Tryl on one of the Gorton&Denton by-election debates: he’s picking up voters trying to choose between Reform and the Greens.

Something I’ve written about before. It’s not right-left. Some voters just want radical change because things aren’t working for them.

If someone had told me ten years ago that in 2026, there could be evidence of the president raping and threatening to kill children, and he would *still* be allowed to stay in office, I would have politely asked them to put down the meth pipe.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

I can honestly say having worked in it since the mid 80s, from 1997 onwards, it was a golden age for the Heritage & Cultural Sectors. Then the Tories systematically dismantled the structures to the point it's everyone for themselves again.

Mark Carney has delivered one of the most important speeches of our era. There is a better future waiting for Britain if we dare to follow his example.

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

Β£240,000 per job to temporarily safeguard 500 jobs at a firm run by the UK's 7th richest person, an ardent Brexiter worth Β£17 billion.

Is it really worth it when firms that don't get a penny in government support collapse with greater job losses every few weeks?

The problem with not investigating brexit is that most of the ills the UK is facing come from it.

Not investigating also tells foreign powers planning this 'if you win, we will roll over'

But not the Brexit Referendum….Putin/ Farage’s project.

Don’t mention that β€˜cos that would make the current Gov’s Brexit policies look very silly indeed.

Trump is coming after our BBC. He’s suing it for $10 billion, and the Conservatives and Reform are cheering him on.

The BBC must not pay Trump a penny. Instead of rolling over, it should sue Trump back for the lies he’s telling about it.

Musk and Trump want a smaller state, for the same reason the Sopranos wanted a smaller police force.

Thank God for Bluesky A little love letter to the people who would not compromise with Nazis.

Ian Dunt - When I visited Auschwitz many years ago, someone in our group said that this is what happens when extremism flourishes. Our tour guide replied: β€œThis place is not explained by extremism. It is explained by conformity.”
