Absolutely mental, nearly a day in orbit and right back home. I can't even find the beans in the supermarket. Well done @elonmusk @SpaceX

Hey @TeamYouTube Can you sort your flaky detection of streaming limits for Premium accounts. It's an absolute shit show, literally flagging being over the limit when there is just one device playing. It wasn't an issue until a few weeks ago so please don't be telling me to spend an hour signing out of all my devices, deleting browser history/cache and all that jazz. You broke something. Fix it and until that just accept you need to set that limit to 20 or something to stop the false positive. kthxbbq

Replies turned off = Knows he's full of shit. Not English, not going to redefine English. Keep it up. I'm sure we can make it a retroactive crime to seek the eraser of an ethnicity, especially by a sitting MP.

The point should be that a PS6 is largely unnecessary and they are focusing on improving game development and value for their customer base. Of course, the truth is not in print. They can't launch a $1200 console. They, like everyone else, are still desperate to push the streaming technology from data centres where they can control ownership and price/profit completely. Question is whether the retard level consumer blindly eats the slop and empties their wallets regardless.
Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden says the PS6 doesn’t need to be more powerful. He believes Sony should focus on making consoles cheaper instead of adding more performance. He says the real innovation would be bringing back a $300 console rather than making a PS6 that could cost $1,200. “We have enough power in the machine,” “The innovation needs to come not from making PS6 for $1,200 - it’s to make another PS5 for $300.”

So the Governments past and present admit they have zero national emergency broadcast capability. This is the shit you see in zombie films from the 70's! They're farming this out to the BBC, for 3 days! When it should of course be run, by the Government/Military from a hardened position, you know, the place they'll all be scurrying off to themselves. But sure, we'll be lucky to last 3 days. While the natives sit at home, compliantly sipping water and shitting into a bag. The imported hordes will be looting, burning and killing with impunity. I can't hate these incompetent fuckwits enough.
🚨 NEW: The Government's "Black Sky" contingency plans for a national water or power blackout - Around 100 BBC staff would be deployed to run an emergency RM radio studio stocked with enough food, water and fuel to keep it running for 3 days - The BBC would broadcast pre-written Government scripts through the studio, including how to ration water, what to do if toilets stop working and which food to eat first (see scripts below) - Radio masts would switch to diesel generators to keep broadcasts going for up to 72 hours without electricity - BBC teams would use satellite phones to stay in contact, with agreed meeting points and backup arrangements if those phones stop working - They would also report from emergency centres across the UK using satellite-equipped BBC vehicles to help keep information flowing to the public - Emergency services would have alternative ways to communicate if mobile phone networks stopped working - The Government is putting £70m towards aircraft that could restore mobile phone and internet coverage across the UK for over a week

What's @RestoreBritain 's stance on the bottle deposit scheme? Seems we're to be robbed 20p per bottle/can. Which we then need to store, travel, deposit to regain. If the machines work. So yeah, loss of my time, dealing with queues & weather and a risk the machine doesn't accept the bottle. There is also an additional producer fee coming in 2028 which will of course be passed onto the consumer. The more successful the scheme the higher that fee will be. All implemented by MPs that no doubt will expense the lot or get a tax payer funded skivvy to do for them.

It's Veterans month. That's it! Take your self serving, undermining, rancid and vile bullshit elsewhere. Also shove your threats up your arse you jumped up prick.
This Islamophobia Awareness Month, we must shine a light on the abhorrent hatred and discrimination Muslims continue to face. In the last year alone, religious hate crimes targeting Muslims rose by 15% in England and Wales. This is utterly unacceptable. London will always stand against hatred, prejudice and discrimination.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
UK security agencies still assess Islamist extremism as the largest terrorism threat. MI5's Islamist-related caseload remains roughly 75% of its counter-terrorism work, according to recent threat assessments. isdglobal.org/digital-dispat…

These are the words of a party that knows a majority of its support is founded solely on that party winning... but they can't. It's desperation to stem the bleeding, avert eyes and provide ammunition for the faithful. It is ultimately a display of how much you disrespect voters, Reform or otherwise. That you see them as dumb and to be manipulated for your own ends. Disgusting and I hope the more you flail the more scales fall from the eyes of your supporters.
Vote Restore, get Labour.

Or in other words. The people we pay to sort those problems aren't doing shit and instead it's now our problem to pay and deal with the consequences.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham says the UK has been 'playing catch-up' too often in the past in ensuring Britons are prepared for natural disasters like wildfires and floods. trib.al/e7Qqgwx 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

It was and is your job to avoid us being put in such a position. Fucked services, fucked infrastructure, fucked foreign policies. That's on you. Am I prepared? Yes, prepared to hold you incompetent fuckwits to account.
I welcome the launch of the Government’s household preparedness campaign, which is long overdue. As Shadow Minister for Defence, Security and Resilience, I have worked extensively on what an effective campaign should look like, seeking to take a collaborative, cross-party approach. In June, I led a debate on national resilience and the need for a national conversation about preparedness. I have visited our allies to learn from their approaches, including visiting Denmark to discuss its national preparedness campaign. However, the Government’s approach falls short. Today’s launch was announced haphazardly, with no parliamentary statement and no coherent campaign around it. It is not the way to start a campaign that needs to reach every household in Britain. Ministers must be honest with the public about the threats we face and explain how the advice they are giving relates to those threats. Advice alone, without that context, is unlikely to prompt people to prepare. Ultimately, the campaign largely repackages the existing online Prepare campaign, which has failed to reach and engage enough people. We need clear, practical advice, grounded in an honest explanation of the risks and delivered in a way that reaches every household. I have produced a booklet drawing on those distributed in European countries such as Denmark and the Netherlands. These booklets explain the threats, why household preparedness matters and what people can do in clear and accessible language. The Government must go further. An effective campaign needs to explain both what people should do and why they should do it.

Good to know the people entrusted to protect us are just admitting all they can do is tell you death is imminent. Pathetic.

A cohesive society shouldn't need that many security guards. Another example of problems created through immigration and decline, that is "fixed" by more immigration and decline.
Lots of abuse today for stating that we shouldn’t be allowing tens of thousands of illiterate and incompetent foreign men to be security guards across Britain. Oh well. Restore Britain is going to send them home.

My next game was going to solve world hunger and bring peace to the world. But I've chosen to go mow the lawn instead. Sorry.

Not so smug in your choices now are you. • Ruined a great reputation • Failed your customer base • Ran your business into the ground • Made what great employees you did have, that just shut their mouths and tollerated your bullshit for a paycheck, unemployed. Your legacy, Sir!

Wow. Our @UKLabour @andyburnham Government. Oh we'll fucking spam your phones with utter emergency bullshit. Thanks. Gave me and the dog a fucking heart attack and no, I'm not on actual fire, or in danger of being on fire. Do you utter dickheads understand what an emergency is? What next, a message about crossing the road. Pricks!

Replies locked because she fucking knows they're the biggest peddlers of hate, lies and suffering. Their response is to blame those who notice. Their biggest regret... that this crime fell on their side and not their fabricated enemy. Pathetic wormtongues.
Earlier today I paid tribute to Ann Widdecombe, called for more civility in political debate and for further action to tackle hate propagated online.

I would prefer to have the support of the most ‘unpleasant’ nationalist in the land than the support of Nadhim Zahawi, Jacob Rees-Mogg, or Camilla Tominey. But in fact, whenever I have met self-described nationalists within Restore, I have found them to be charming, public-spirited patriots. Our party would be severely diminished without them.

Restore Britain’s five step plan to end the welfare scam. Number one. No benefits for foreigners. Saves billions and billions every year. If a Somalian family is living on benefits in social housing funded by the British taxpayer, I wish them well. In Somalia. No discussion needed. Huge savings to be had. Second. The ballooning welfare bill is not solely down to foreign nationals, far from it. There are a huge number of British people taking the mick. The system is there for the taking, and they are doing exactly that. Claiming some disability or another, when there is evidently nothing wrong. Face-to-face assessments are vital, regular and vigorous. - Dedicated welfare fraud investigation units. - Proper data-sharing between HMRC, DWP and local authorities. - Automatic recovery of fraudulent claims from future earnings. And actually through doing this, we can give proper support to those British men and women who genuinely need it. A fair, robust and compassionate approach. Third. A life on benefits for a healthy individual is NOT acceptable. If you can work, you must work. A few months to find a desired job is reasonable, but after that - if you want your benefit money, you will be put to work. That is Restore Britain’s position. Litter picking, street cleaning, gardening, scraping chewing gum off the pavement. Whatever. If it needs doing and you want the money, you’re doing it. Random drug tests for those on benefits - if you’re getting high, the benefits stop. Tough love. Next. Reintroduce the two child cap. Hardworking British parents shouldn’t have to subsidise indolence. If you want more children, get a job. Finally. Tax cuts. Raise the thresholds. Make it so that going back to work is financially rewarding. Obviously. Reward hard work, and people will do more of it. If people feel like going into work is actually worth it, they will do it. It must never pay to sit on benefits. More training, more apprenticeships. A skilled and active workforce. Contributing, not taking. That is what we need. A Restore Britain Government will ensure no household receives more in out-of-work benefits than the equivalent working family earns after tax. The welfare system should protect those who cannot work, support those who fall on hard times, and help people back into employment as quickly as possible. It should never be more attractive than work. Restore Britain will reward contribution and ambition, not indolence and entitlement. End the welfare scam, slash the bill, crush inflation.
