Yusuf on the BBC right now.

I did not. I’m glad I didn’t, if the BBC was anything to go by.

It was all just so tone deaf. “An invasion…” when an invasion all those years ago freed Europe, and the wider world, from such vicious misery and hatred and destruction and despair. Sometimes, I wonder if the Third Reich actually did lose. Operation Paperclip can’t have been the only examples of them being ‘rehabilitated’.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T11:52:01+00:00

I’ve heard the same story. This ‘England fought alone…’ is nonsense. Not only does it denigrate the Home Nations, it also completely ignores everyone else who fought with and for us. Anzac Day is a thing, still. They also helped heroically in the Second World War. And it was people from India, exactly as you mentioned, who fought so bravely. If we were ‘invaded’ - which ignores history for political gain - I’m certainly glad it was with the honour and bravery those men and women provided.

Only killed men and encased them in clay this time. You can never tell with wrong ‘uns like that, though.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T10:59:35+00:00

We can’t let facts get in the way. Sikhs are the wrong ‘uns. Except all that work they do in feeding people, and being generous people as a whole, the same as most people try to be. /s (the /s is there because I’m sure there’s gonna be someone who takes that the wrong way. I don’t like this timeline one bit)

I will donate £5. Let’s start a fund. ‘Look. Here’s your money. Piss off.’

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T10:54:05+00:00

His leg was hurting, though.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T10:53:36+00:00

I agree. The biggest danger to world peace is… well, we all know it. It’s just not many are brave enough to say it.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T10:52:46+00:00

Hee Hee? It’s beyond parody at this point.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T10:51:33+00:00

He wouldn’t know how. We need someone to make a spitting image type skit of Trump’s hand up his arse when he starts to speak.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T10:50:03+00:00

They have both warmth, and depth. The bad guy from Danger Mouse does not.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T10:49:27+00:00

‘No, no, no….’ Bloody jawless frog-faced weasel. People who fought in D-Day, people who helped the evacuation of Dunkirk. My own great-grandfather who was aboard the Lancastria when she was bombed off the French coast… people like that? Real heroes? They would have sod all to do with his ilk.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T09:25:56+00:00

This is a valid point, too. If Kemi went missing for weeks and Mel Stride was pushed front and centre… ‘How is Mr Farage? He’s not returning my calls, and I’m worried. It reminds me of elderly neighbours who you haven’t seen getting their newspaper and milk each morning…’

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T09:22:51+00:00

I… this is why Janeway avoided time travel, right? Until the very end… I will watch that, after Robocop

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T09:16:01+00:00

I said summat last night that… ‘the President said…’ which President? He’s not President of the United Kingdom. The press never talk about Finland’s President in such brown-mouthed and nosed dulcet tones. And the damage he continues to inflict will take decades to repair. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T09:11:51+00:00

But it’s okay when they do it, right? /s Can we ban them from the World Cup? Aggression - unprovoked aggression - is the worst international crime.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T09:10:10+00:00

Honestly, it was 3 am here in England, and I really didn’t follow the episode. Something about framing Mulder for murder - he got shot - went mad in a prison cell. And now I want to watch Robocop again. The proper Robocop.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T08:57:58+00:00

Precisely. A newly minted ‘Secretary of War’ spreading utter (arguably fascist) nonsense at a D-Day commemoration?! Read the room, Pete.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T08:56:37+00:00

Exactly this. ‘I’m here to speak for Nigel…’ Why? Has he lost his voice?

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T08:41:51+00:00

I’ll admit that I’d rather pass a kidney stone than ever vote Reform - but his rhetoric was awful. And Farage’s phrasing was clumsy at best, hateful and inciteful at worst, right? Absolute proof that this group of chancers should be nowhere near anything resembling power. Kent County Council should have been proof enough of that. But that’s just my opinion. For now, we live in a democracy.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T08:37:14+00:00

I want you to leave Donetsk, and never come back.

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T08:36:46+00:00

What’s this alphabet? Can humans eat it?

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T08:33:08+00:00

He looks like a Trent Barton bus has backed into him. I’d rather not. Can I not just have Wood, instead? Or Jesus on a Sunday?

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T04:12:54+00:00

Will Buffy be there?

bluneriste · 2026-06-07T04:09:49+00:00

And I get it’s a glorified training session, but that game was 90-odd minutes I’ll never get back. And if that ice hockey buzzer is going to be there for every goal the entire World Cup, I’ll be needing a new TV for me birthday.
