Country basically run for benefit of angry drivers

BRITAIN is governed with the sole aim of appeasing red-faced drivers with high blood pressure, it has been confirmed.

FFS! How petty and mean can you be? It's (long past) time to get rid of this tory government.

@SyrinxTemple I can't try it (EU), but two red flags: you need to delete your Instagram account to delete your Threads account, and apparently, there's no chronological or following-only timelines. Basically, there's only the For You, algorithm-powered tab. (At least, that's what I've read.)

So has anyone tried #Threads yet? Any good? (Apart from it being in the hands of another, slightly more sane, billionaire). Will it be the bird app killer?

@RussInCheshire has just done a great thread over on the bird site demolishing Boris Johnson. Worth a read (you may need to put a fair bit of time aside - its quite long).

#UnitedKingdom🇬🇧 Every individual has the right to take part in non-violent protest. Today's arbitrary arrest of scores of republican citizens by British police officers is a clear violation of human rights, a deliberate misinterpretation of the law, and a major stain on the reign of Charles III. #Coronation
