The rumours about BP are being pushed from a nasty far right account on X. One of the citizen journalist types. There have been no references to them from any reputable sources.

Whatever, it's raining ☂

He's not worth it .....

Sun is out here, finally.

Is it going to rain on Saturday in London? I do hope so.

If it does, it will be God crying over his earth.

And who could blame Him?

But Yaxley-Lennon and his followers are Christians! They have crosses! Why would that make God cry?

It's not for me to compare Stephen Yaxley Lennon to Christ.

That is for others.

Some people love to believe that stuff and take it as gospel.

If you're going to post shite, at least make it substantiated shite. That means better than a random right winger off X.

Tipping it down here.

Same here

Forecast heavy rain for London on Saturday - mainly in the morning but continuing rain into the afternoon

Well exactly. And we are allowed to critique rumours, aren't we? Freedom of speech and all that.

Overrated as an album, but a couple of bangers nonetheless.

(We need a "coat" emoji)

I’m beginning to think freedom of speech actually equates “freedom to incite hate” and has nothing to do with debate or the truth.

im getting really angry now at how this is playing out. People are literally destroying the values we uphold in some kinda attempt to change the narrative.

That picture of the man convicted in Belfast has also boiled my piss.

These aren’t some kind of freedom fighter. They are thugs - thugging

🤣🤣🤣

Was 'Little Lies' on that album?

As long as I can remember, there has been an attempt by some to push the notion that "freedom of speech" means "freedom from consequences".

And it's taken many generations, but what with the madey uppy trans debate, and a populist press we are nearly there. Although, I think in a way, we never left. I mean libel actions have never been open to all, especially when it comes to defending them.

And SLAPP has made it dangerous to speak freely about some people.

Add to that our increasingly curated internet (who knows what the OSA is hiding from you ?) and we probably have less freedom of speech whilst simultaneously never had so many people have so many platforms on which they can air their views.

Hope Mandelson will be kicked out soon

Agree.

No that was the decade on ghastly album "Tango in the Night."

New deputy leader candidates, same fucking misogyny.

Like, it's a CREEPY sentence for a piece of political analysis to even contain, but to choose it as the TITLE is next-level incel shit.

And Trump ?

Ah I’m considering going Saturday - to the counter one if you wondered. I know that is not all perfect but feel very strongly about countering this type of far right - as you know here! So still weighing it all up.
I like the thought of many names being washed out though whatever I decide, though I’m sure he’ll be back in Cyprus soon after, if not before, warming his grifting self on his supporters’ money.

Same

He can drop dead, preferably before he lands in the UK

It's not his signature the party told you
