Good morning once again. Saturday is starting with some lovely sunshine here in the North West of England. A perfect day for throwing some stones about, which I shall be doing later although no malice is involved.
Good morning, HP. Lovely down here in the South-West too. Not a chemtrail to be seen!
Give it an hour or two.. its the weekend after all.. even chemtrail pilots need a LIE in..
Oh dear.. the phantom down ticker’s not having a LIE in I see
Weird!
Thanks Aethelred
Good morning Hux! Not bad here in the south west (ireland)either! Thank goodness for global warming!
(I’ll admit even I don’t know what your referring to by throwing stones around? So, why the downticker?)
Lol me neither. Morning all from a lovely, sunny and warm South NL. ⚘ Must tackle garden this weekend. Turn my back for 3wks it’s like Little Shop of Horrors.
Dinger, what’s Ireland like for living in these days? I wanted to ask you if all the wokeness is confined to Dublin… Cheers!
As you say, the wokness bs is pretty much confined to the cities otherwise we love here!
Thanks Dinger.
Thanks Dinger.

Essential reading and absolutely bang on.
Spot on !
Thanks for posting this. Isn’t it the truth and the way forward?
“uphold inclusive values.”
Inclusiveness rather seems to be the abandonment of any values.
Yes.. along with common-sense and decency I may add..
I did email this to DS editorial hoping they would pick it up:
TRIGGERnometry on Twitter: “BANK ACCOUNT UPDATE We’d like to say a huge “thank you” to all of you. Because of your support @TideBusiness have rapidly gone from being “unable to provide further information” to being “sorry and investigating this as a matter of the highest priority”.
” / Twitter
TRIGGERnometry had their bank account shut down with no explanation given
Would have been unreal just 3 short years ago
Indeed it would Freddy.. it appears anything goes now after the scamdemic..
Just received a message this morning, 20th of the 5th on my mobile phone: “settings changed by operator, your emergency alert settings have been updated”
I switched off my emergency alert settings here in ireland in response to the uk’s idea about a national emergency alert system!
This morning, they turned them back on again! Big brother creeps in, like it or not! How many ordinary irish people will just dismiss this message because they are busy earning enough to make a living?
I am sick of this big brother world!
Our so called leaders have become the “Rulers of old”
I’ll repeat myself from yesterday ”

Adidas ‘Pride 2023’ women’s swimsuits appear to be modelled by a man”
Adidas is “doing a bud!”
“Is this Adidas’s ‘Bud Light moment’? Row over ‘man modelling a woman’s swimsuit’ continues as fans vow to ‘boycott woke companies out of existence’ amid calls to burn Gazelles in protest”
Fans? Clothing? A Clothing manufacturer has “Fans?” And why set fire to African antelopes?
“Rishi Sunak’s Confucius Institute muddle”
Who cares? British people are on the breadline! Immigration is rampant! Jobs are being lost, Britain is hurtling toward becoming a third world country, net zero is something no one with a rational brain in their heads wants! along with ulez, HS2 and 15 min cities! and the the big worry is fu#king confucius institutes?
”
(And Rishi’s personal wealth is down to a meagre £529million, and ordinary British think they have something to worry about!)
“Confucius says, f-you
If Tigger was trapped in a pinball machine with only coffee for sustenance, that’d be you!
Ha! The fools NEED offending. Severely and repeatedly till the come to their senses. I find their pathetic need to be offended by everything utterly OFFENSIVE.
Grow up, babies.
Those who thumb down comments – maybe explain why rather than run away?
I dont think they are genuine downticks, these people are just trying to bring down the daily sceptic! (Never happen) They seem to go through all the posts every day and downtick them all! sad.
“John Cleese urged to scrap Life of Brian joke about man having a baby”
That clip in “the life of Brian” was prophesy, and should be celebrated not deleted!
I can’t see the Telegraph article, nevertheless it doesn’t matter. I have the clip saved on my phone. It cheers me up every time I watch it.
Symbolic of his struggle against reality…
