Oh Donald is a fascist
He wears a MAGA hat
A psychotic deranged paedo

And he’s mad as a hatter
Thank you very much

The only people Trump stands up to are those he thinks are weaker than him.
He is a coward.
He is a coward.
Can we please stop calling him a strongman?
This draft-dodging, flat-track, playground bully is anything but.
Has he ever stood up to Putin or Xi Jinping?
Trump is a coward — a lily-livered, yellow-bellied, bone-spurred coward.

This by @neilmackay.bsky.social is so baffling. And it's true. Every time I was up in Scotland I was astonished about how badly under- and misrepresented the independence movemnt is on the BBC. While its still going strong.
Ignore this at your own peril.
Plus it also undermines the BBC's authority

The BBC has a serious Scotland problem - so why is nobody talking about it?
Neil Mackay on the BBC's alleged bias on independence, and what he views as the wider media silence eroding trust and fairness.

In Great Britain’s most competitive auction for renewable subsidies to date, energy companies vied for contracts that guarantee the price for each unit of clean electricity they generate. Continue reading...

We send kids to school so they learn stuff.
In order to learn they need to give their undivided attention to a teacher.
Why are we even debating phones in schools???
Phone lockers. Every school. Phone goes in on arrival comes out on departure, (and MAY be consulted at lunch/breaks).

The pardon for Hernandez makes an obvious & absolute mockery of each & every attempt to rationalise, or even justify, Trump's treatment of Maduro. I'm not sure this single, simple point can be stressed enough. Once again, he proves his critics right & reduces his supporters to epic moral corruption.
