@MiaMarkTwo The Independent has long since ceased to be a newspaper. It's now just a clickbait factory for bitter remainers who want content which flatters their prejudices rather than helping them to think critically
The Daily Telegraph churns out equivalent mendacity for the Brexiteers who like similar flattery of their own uncritiqued prejudices.
It's the two warring tribes of #TheMadCountry.
Russians killing your kids. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?
No point in feeding #breakfast to children, says retired Admiral #LordWest of Spithead. The Russkies will just march in and kill the kids.
Better to give the cash to Alan and his chums to buy #wartoys. Says Alan.
Monday. #TheMadCountry has decorated #10DowningStreet like a #flagshaggers' convention. 🤮 Or a roundabout in Bedfordshire.
The door opens. #LarryTheCat runs away. Wise man, #Larry. 👍 👏
Then the 4 most unpopular leaders in Europe emerge: #Macron, #Starmer, #Merz, #Zelensky.
The quartet then botches a #GroupHug like no hug has ever been botched before. The unhuggiest unhug in the history of unhugs. #Cringetastic
These boys nake the case for choosing leaders by #sortition look overwhelming.
When I was a child in 1960s & 70s Dublin, I didn't get the Ulster fights over flags. I could get fights over food, jobs, houses, money, attackers, soldiers, even language. But not flags.
Early 90s, I visited USAnia. Flags everywhere, & guns. Sick, insecure society. 🤮
In the 2010s the English put the George's Cross everywhere. In the 2020s, on mini-roundabouts.
Now even #TheGuardian's lead article is about feckin flags.
Fuxake, kids. Get over yerselves & yer feckin flags! 😡
A blatantly antisemitic caricature of #ZackPolanski in #TheTimes cartoon about the aftermath of the #GoldersGreen attacks.
But it's England. So the Jewish guy who opposes genocide and queries police violence is:
1/ depicted as a blatantly antisemitic stereotype;
2/ falsely portrayed as the perpetrator of a violent kick, rather than the critic of violence;
3/ denounced as an antisemite.

It appears that in #England, the #homopobes have taken up #cannibalism, and now have a 100-year-old brand selling frozen #GayBurgers to families, apparently as some sort of cranial nutrition speciality.
One doesn't like to stomp on cultural traditions ... but please, can someone warn the EU about this before the UK tries to get any closer? #TheMadCountry

What's behind this Brit Royal offer to talk to the police about the ex-#PrinceAndrew?
They appear to have made a statement to PA in the small hours.
Is this some sort of attempt to draw the heat off #Starmer, as #AnasSarwar's botched coup was mopped up?
Or was #KingCharles miffed that he had been upstaged by Downing Street, and was no longer running the most dysfunctional show in the UK? Inviting the Plod to ransack a few palaces was a good way catch attention.

#Farage's defence amounts to "I am computer illiterate and can't supervise staff to input data correctly on my behalf".
Definitely a strong qualification to be #UkPrimeMinister. If Farage can add an ability to hide in fridges and party through a lockdown, then he will only need to lie as persistently as #Starmer to qualify as the perfect leader of #TheMadCountry 😈 😅
The #BBCnews Editor has sent this to #BBC journalists.
#Kidnapping must NOT be called #kidnapping, in case #Trump is offended. #SelfCensorship
