I just want to be a citizen of a normal European country.

I don't want:

- the monarchy.
- the house of lords.
- the FPTP electoral system.
- the archaic practices of the house of commons.
- the criminally corrupt tory party.
- the timid and complacent labour party.

I especially don't want #brexit, which was inflicted on Scotland against its will.

This is Lord Rothermore the Daily Mail owner.
He lives in a mansion in Monaco, he pays taxes in France.
The Daily Mail is registered in Bermuda and it pays no taxes anywhere.
That is his British "Patriotism"

Seen in Oakland at the Bay Bridge today. 100% true.

🚀 We have gone to space with Copernicus, Galileo and – soon – IRIS²

🔬 We have spearheaded research and innovation with Horizon Europe

📣 We have taken action to uphold fundamental rights in the #EU

Yet, this didn't stop us from being amazed by the impressive community we discovered on #Mastodon.

One year has already passed since we joined the #Fediverse!

Your vibrant voice and keen interest have helped us build a greener, fairer, and more open Europe.

Thanks for being part of our journey 😊

We need redistribution: without it the misery will continue https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/04/20/we-need-redistribution-without-it-the-misery-will-continue/

Calling for climate protestors to face tougher penalties is like calling for fire alarms to be switched off at night because they might wake people up.

@Paulos_the_fog It’s neither a fair nor sensible comparison. You’re comparing a country of 940,000 square miles with one of 930 square miles and one of 67 million people with a country of 650,000 supplemented by 75% on private insurance. So what.

Hundreds of British people are needlessly going blind. Why?

Both the #Tories and Starmer’s #Labour would use private firms to provide health services

Not many people know this but I help to run a website that documents all the ways the #Tory Government have failed.

It is hosted on isPants.com - #pants in #British slang is something that is not much good, a bit rubbish, unwanted, or better avoided.
