The British public refuse to accept that it's cheaper to provide welfare than withdraw it. Fewer benefits result in increased crime and poorer public health, requiring increased resources for the police and NHS. Prevention is cheaper than the cure, it's that fucking simple. anon_opin GOLD from 12th March 2025

For some reason this reminded me of a nurse telling me about the weirdest/funniest thing she saw during a colonoscopy: a Fuji apple label stuck to the inside of someone's innards.

🎶 Now I've had the time of my life
No, I never felt like this before
Yes, I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you 🎶

To robbery, slaughter, plunder, they give the lying name of empire; they make a desolation and call it peace.

Kermit introduces the Muppet Show leaning out of the letter 'O' in the Muppet Show logo

"It's The Muppet Show with our very special guest star Robot Wig! Yay!"

All shot using real figures, lighting and a homemade Muppets Show Logo I printed put onto card and cut a hole in.

“World Book Day is about celebrating literature,” he said. “But when a child arrives speaking in dense metaphor and swaying slightly while insisting they’re ‘perfectly sober thank you’, you do have to ask some questions.”

Bob Hoskins on Super Mario Brothers:
‘I didn’t even know it was a game, my kids told me. ‘What are you doing next, dad?’
‘Super Mario Brothers.’
‘Oh, that’s a game.’
‘What?’
And they showed me this thing jumping up & down.
‘This is you.’
And I thought: ‘I used to play King Lear.’

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Today for dinner we had a nice dinner but then we had rice pudding yuck.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Bogus!

As Ted "Theodore" Logan awoke one morning from most heinous dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a non-resplendent bug.

BREAKING: The Met police have raided Westminster Quaker Meeting House.

AGAIN.

Once again the basis of the raid is conspiracy to protest.

It's a violation of freedom of expression & association rights. Not to mention freedom of religion for the Quakers too.

This is how you get Kaikai to drink water.
You don't ask her. If you ask, she does an about-turn and leads everyone elsewhere. Keeper Joseph has learned that you race her to the trough instead — then it's her idea.
It works. Sort of.

At a time when our right to protest seems to be in crisis, a Greenham Woman sent us the below wise words.

“It is imperative, particularly at this moment in history to show our important protests of the time. 🧵⬇️
