100-year-old veteran says winning World War II ‘wasn’t worth it’ due to state of Britain today
what about the liberation of the extermination camps and the defeat of extreme fascism? I know that this contemporary U.K. is not great right now, but it was worth . That’s free speech & he earned it.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

I’ve seen countries fall to a coup d’etat for this kind of behaviour in the past (although most of them we later learned were funded covertly by the CIA). The line: “Stupid rules of engagement” now becomes “weapons free” which is very alarming! Democrats are now the enemy. Are people worried yet?
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

The political smear worked on the @snp.org Destroy the reputation of the leader Sturgeon by putting a crime scene tent outside her house and let the media do the rest with endless smears and insinuations. We all knew that no charges would follow and we were right. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“…based on the type of meteorite, it is expected to have formed 4.56 billion years ago, making it roughly 20 million years older than Earth.”

Such nonsense because the earth is only around 4000 years old. I believe in real science.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Listening on playback. Thanks for the piece you did on Morecambe. Scarborough Athletic (not Town 😁) have our own issues this year due to the pitch, so we are playing in Bridlington 25-26. It’s been a really worrying time for us all. I live in Scotland but I love the club.

I have a few Lyn like people in my family. They just cannot discern reality vs the media created unfactual tropes.
"I think you're absolutely disgusting, I really do."
Caller Lyn cannot believe the nerve of James Hanson to suggest pensions shouldn't be rising as much as they are.
Lyn thinks she's found a much better cost-cutting measure: Stop the boats and scrap foreign aid.

As usual Michael Rosen makes a point very well. Dylan’s fantastic song is more graphic than Bob Vylan’s. The difference? The Israeli’s conflate Vylan’s message of ‘Defund the IDF’ and equate it with anti semitism. When you thought a disgusting fascistic regime could not sink any lower.
