Dear folks of the US. Get a grip.
I work in London every week - it’s not a war zone. We are not living under Sharia law. Gangs of immigrants do not roam stabbing and doing worse to women.
*Per capita* UK knife crime stats are equivalent or lower than the US and we have extremely low gun homicides.

The US should bring in gun control laws and call them Charlie’s Law in tribute to Kirk.

I note, from the distant perspective of the UK, very different reactions from Trump, MAGA and the US Media to the murder of Charlie Kirk vs Melissa Hortman and her husband.

“Cotswolds childless cat ladies say go home,” one sign read, referring to comments Vance made in 2021 about senior Democrats in Congress that resurfaced during last year's presidential race.

Well, naturally. Little Nigel only believes in free speech if it's him (or one of his goons) doing the speaking.

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.
Monstrous:
"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying....The 6-year-old boy was terrified to see the gun. He urinated on himself and wet all his clothing. No one offered him a change of clothing for many hours."

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Just watched clips of Trumpty Dumpty’s Military Parade and OMG!
Shambling soldiers in fatigues - no marching, out of step and no dress/parade uniforms.
No military band - awful piped music - probably why they can’t march.
And sponsorship! 😖
Someone make them watch yesterday’s Trooping the Colour.

There is never a justification for such cruelty - from anyone and to anyone - due to race, religion, sexuality, education, gender or any other characteristic.
All it took to rise was indifference.
If you are indifferent you are on the side of the oppressor.
