"Nobody can stop us"
Words which should chill every sane person
America. Why don't you f**king stop him? How dare you all inflict this dementia riven warmonger on the rest of us! He's spent his entire life as a toddler with "I want.. I want.."
You stand aside & permit this to the entire planet!

FOX & FRIENDS: What do you think is next for the Venezuelan people now that you have removed Maduro so he can face American justice?
TRUMP: Well, we're making that decision now. We can't take a chance on letting somebody else run it, just take over where he left off. So we're making that decision

Whilst on ny SM rest, I've spent the last couple of days reading this 👇
I'll give no spoilers, that's unfair, however, I'll say the most terrifying aspect of this excellent book is to not know at which points truth/reality blurs against fiction 😲
This book will keep me awake a few nights 🌙

We've been away to see the grandchildren and tonight, a mere day after we returned, we were greeted with this fabulousness 😍

No. Sod off. Trial by jury is a cornerstone of democracy. I've never been called up for it, yet. But who knows when that changes? I have no criminal record, never seen the inside of a court myself, but that doesn't mean I'll be prepared to deny due process to ANYONE
Refuse. One day it may be you
Refuse. One day it may be you
I've done more than my fair share of jury service - 4 cases in total - and am in favour of it as a direct result of that experience. It works. Feels like an important democratic check (not least) on the power of judges - who, through no fault of their own - must inevitably get jaded by experience.
