I saw this and LOLed. But then search is now broken across the internet and socials so I couldn't find it again. So I just remade it.

LEAVE BRITIAN ALONE
In honour of the mis-spelled Tory Conference chocolate bar.

#Britian has had enough. Of the Conservative Party.

Kemi is so proud to be Britianish you can always see her waving her Onion flag.

Little tip Kemi, don't get the same civil servants to print your leaflets pledging to cut the civil service as the ones printing your merch, just saying.

Sorry Kemi, but sometimes you just have to admit your luck has run out. I know a turkey that has more chance of making it to January.

🔴 How to Rescue the Reputation of the Nasty Normans

“There’s a long tradition of casting the Normans as the bad guys of British history – powerful and impressive, maybe, but not sympathetic. Most of us like to identify with the underdog, and in British history that usually means the non-Norman.”

🔴 #America needs to learn the terrifying lesson of the riots in #Britian. This was #ElonMusk’s trial balloon for the #US #election between #trump and #HarrisWalz2024

The prospect of political violence is real. And #ElonMusk’s behaviour is a warning shot of what’s to come. My piece for #ObserverUK

ℹ #Britian's Ministry of #Defense has found a way to resume the production of gun barrels, and will also supply barrels to #Ukraine.

The minister said that the British company #Sheffield Forgemasters, which is capable of producing the largest and most technically sophisticated cast and forged steel parts in the world, would be used.

I get the critique of the left re: #labour in #Britian.

"The obvious danger is that an unpopular government, made complacent by its grossly disproportionate majority, systematically imposes an agenda that the majority don’t want, and which will make most people worse off.

Yet this is a sort of win (incl. strategic lessons). Think “The Shock of Victory”

Britain enters a new era, congrats you Beautiful Bastards 😸#britian #election

It's the day Britain goes to the polls!
Good luck to all the parties and candidates running.

Except #Tories and all the racist ones. Sod off.

The British minesweepers HMS Chiddingfold and HMS Bangor collided while mooring in Bahrain. Not for the first time - in April 2021 HMS Chiddingfold collided with HMS Penzance and was taken out of action for 3 months for repairs.

@deadline She joins an illustrious group of unfortunately clueless aging white female #actors from #Britian who uphold supremacy, Über Alles, like #CharlotteRampling and #HelenMirren, following the path of white #patriarchy that cares for them only as fodder.

I've been pretty quiet on here recently.

But just stopping in to ask;

Have you ever had a cup of tea that was so perfect you had to share it with the world?

That was my cup this morning. It was a magical 5 minutes.
