No doubt some GBNews type will come knocking soon demanding to know details of my donation to the campaign… 🛒 https://www.binfaceshop.co.uk @CountBinface@mastodon.world #VoteBinface #UKpolitics #UKpol

Listen, we all know it’s unlikely to happen, but it clearly would be the FUNNIEST THING EVER if Count Binface were to do the impossible and beat Nigel Farright in #Clacton. @CountBinface@mastodon.world has an online shop, some of the t-shirts are great, and it can help cover some campaign costs. Treat yourself. https://www.binfaceshop.co.uk #UKpolitics #UKpol

My yucca plant has suddenly flowered rather spectacularly, and it’s made me very happy indeed. #bloomscrolling

RE: https://flipboard.com/@bbcnews/top-stories-hc55lmo2z/-/a-KezZUkGqRtOWiQx_ZyqIzg%3Aa%3A3199692-%2F0 Hurrah! I don&#39;t expect this to mean that a return ticket to London will suddenly stop costing me north of ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY POUNDS, but at least a chunk of that money won&#39;t immediately get hoovered up by shareholders.

I can&#39;t believe how swiftly most of the UK media has skirted over the fact that a political party expected to do well at tomorrow&#39;s polls is proposing literal concentration camps. WTF?!? https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/straight-out-donald-trumps-playbook #UKpolitics #UKpol

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY I’m at a work thing. Lots of talk about UK Government missions and priorities. Instead of political parties relentlessly talking up economic growth in the hope that money makes us happier as a by-product, I’d love for them to prioritise making us happier and hoping that a by-product might be that we become richer too. #UKpolitics #UKpol

Looking forward to doing the Newport Riverfront #parkrun this weekend for the first time. Anyone else on here going? #Newport #Casnewydd #Gwent

Some excellent #ShoutyBlokesWithGuitars action in #Newport / #Casnewydd tonight. Nice to visit The Pit, my first time there. Great support from youngsters #FlatCat and the very talented #MilkInCrisis (good band, terrible name); and an excellent first headline set by local lads #Maeve. #LiveMusic #gigs

A heartwarming 36hrs in Newport full of friends, fun, love and laughter utterly ruined by as insipid a second-half performance as you could hope to witness at Rodney Parade. #ncafc 🧡🖤

As another bonkers US president gets embroiled in another pointless war in another Middle East country, it’s high time this moment from #PeepShow was updated…
