If you’re annoyed at the cost of Covid tests under this Govt You’re going to be raging at your medical costs once they’ve sold off the NHS

I saw a post this morning describing the #Plymouth shooter as 'blackpill'. I Googled the term, and it led me down a rabbithole of #Incel pages (including a Wiki!). Feel like my brain is bleeding! Never in the depths of my singleton despair would I have thought like these guys do!
Hi UK, Denmark’s supermarkets are fully stocked come buy our produce. And France’s, Germany’s and everyone else in the EU. It isnt #Covid that has broken your supply chain, what is happening now is the #BrexitFoodShortages your remainer friends warned you about. #BrexitReality

To become a billionaire on the average UK full-time salary you'd have to work for over THIRTY THOUSAND YEARS (and not spend anything). Nobody needs to be a billionaire. Let's properly tax the super-rich to fight poverty, inequality and climate change.

But don't feel too bad. I can't remember anyone, at the time, saying the people needed a final say on the Brexit Deal... 😬

For those who are using Thalidomide as an excuse to brainwash the public into being antivacs and antimask. Please read my Thalidomide affected husband’s story #thalidomide #thalidomidedisaster #disability #antimaskers #AntiVaccine

This was really loud. In a pretty busy pub at 6:30 on a Friday night. They obviously didn’t care who heard them talking about gang raping a woman they picked up on a dating app and filming themselves doing it. Is this where we’ve got to now? That this is normalised behaviour?

26% of population voted for Brexit. 21% of population voted Tory in 2019. 100% of population suffer Brexit effects (loss of rights, FOM, opportunities, etc, replaced by empty shelves, rotting crops, job losses, etc) & corrupt sleazy protofascist 'government'. PR, or revolution.

Does anyone have any real-life experience of a #saxmonica? I really want to get one - the one with interchangeable pipes for different keys. The videos certainly LOOK real. Do they play as well as they appear to? #saxophone #sax #tgtbt
This was amazing to come back to! I want to thank everyone who has sent me supportive messages and gifts. I’ve seen, read and appreciate every one of you. I hope we all continue to spread love and joy 🙏🏿

How does one explain in simple terms that visas and new red tape are not a punishment for Brexit, they are Brexit. We’re out of the club, simple as that, any negative consequence is self-inflicted.

Johnson is not laughing with you. He’s laughing at you. At all of us. He’s been doing it the whole time. On everything. Even Covid. He seriously couldn’t give a shit about you, your life, your problems. You’re useful to him at elections. That is the limit of his interest.

Dear ⁦@thecarolemalone⁩ - You were one of those that were furious at the “new” charge for Brits to enter the EU. Well: “UK backed plan to charge non-EU travellers to enter Europe” in 2016. 🤷🏻‍♂️ We’re non-EU now. theguardian.com/world/2021/a…

I know this is a silly question but does anyone anywhere have any idea where our £37,000,000,000 for Test & Trace went? Just as a matter of interest.

I am unashamedly left-wing because not everything is a competition to me - I want to see other humans succeed and do well and not have to struggle every month to pay bills and eat. It's really that simple.

There are staff shortages everywhere sparked by Brexit and made worse by Covid. Making the U.K. a hostile place for legal EU migrants is a bad mistake we will live with for a very long time time. We need to face that.

Asylum seekers didn't cause austerity. Asylum seekers didn't cause the underfunding of our NHS. Asylum seekers didn't cause the housing crisis. We need to fight the right-wing anti-migrant myths used to distract from the real causes of problems in our society.
