Hundreds of absolute cockends lapping up David Icke’s absolute verbal fartage in Trafalgar Square. They prefer to believe the rantings of a man who believes the world is ran by shape shifting lizards rather than every credible scientist. Dicks.

So there’s a massive fire engulfing Saddleworth Moor. People are being evacuated, and the national media and news aren’t even covering it. Freezes my piss the geographical imbalance of what’s deemed news worthy. If this was happening south of Watford it’d be wall to wall.

It’s quite mad to think that here in Manchester we’ve been in a state of lockdown since last October. We’ve barely been out of some form of lockdown for over a year. Be kind to yourselves and other over the coming days and weeks. It’s going to take some time to adjust.

@SamCoatesSky Tactical voting was huge in the local elections. I voted Lib Dem because there was no chance of Labour winning in my ward. In the GE I, and everyone I know, will be voting Labour. And I live in the Graham Brady's constituency that he's stepping down from. A massive Labour gain.
