- 20 episode seasons? That's not how things work anymore. There are hundreds of competing shows now. Trek is suffering from the Star Wars fan situation. Rose tinted view of the past. No old fan is going to ever think anything tops The Next Generation...ever...ever..🤦♂️ www.space.com/entertainmen...
- People knowing facts is not somrthing the current US administration wants. edition.cnn.com/2026/02/05/u...
- This is simultaneously (1) garbage: Labour has done nothing remotely as bad as the Tories' industrial scale VIP corruption and (2) proof: of Labour's failure to understand, let alone address, the industrial scale lie-telling machine that is our media.
- “The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the tools to its own destruction,” Joseph Goebbels
- Paralyze the legal system. By the time it catches up people are deported....despicable. The rule of law and the Constitution is meaningless to these people. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

- My god, I feel for you over there. It's like hearing a conversation about going on patrol in Helmand province...yet this is America.
- When the ghouls say we need to grow the economy before we can afford the basics for our people, remember that our economy has made our households - on AVERAGE - amongst the richest in the world. Our issue is not the size of the pie, it's the size of the slice that goes to the rentiers.
- And the reality that taxes don't pay for anything. With 400,000 people needing something to do we can hardly claim to be short of people and resources.
- I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside. What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there? I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.
- What happened to the unlimited power of investigation!!!
- That we continue to use unemployment as a "buffer stock" is bordering on barbaric. Time to have a Job Guarantee and use that as the "buffer stock".
