I love to walk especially in our area of the Black Forest, read most kinds of books. Used to play golf but now too expensive.
Everyone should be aware of what reform are doing.
Indoctrination of our youth. The Nazis did it too. That's what far right parties do. #Reform is far right encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

Germany had paid the most per population.
What this chart really shows about aid to Ukraine

Aid has dropped by about €40bn/year leaving Ukraine on the back foot

As Sweden points out others are not stepping up

Italy, Spain, France, UK, Germany need to be at €12bn/yr to cover this

US is trying to break Ukraine and Europe is letting it

That's what we thought every time we move,we have golf antiques but thankfully we're still selling some.
One thing I will miss when we move to France is the ability to sell my paintings. Our front room has a shop window where I paint and sell from. Selling means I don’t have them lying around. 50% of the money goes to an animal charity 50% on new materials.
I’ll have to find a new way in France.

Russia doesn't want peace.

Good morning everyone, let's hope there's more peace and less violence in the world.

It's obvious that covid plus other illnesses are not going away. Wearing a mask is for me important as I have a heart defect. Thank goodness for you common sense too.
The disconnect is complete. A grocery store. I say hello to a lady who's worked there forever. She comes over & tells my mask that she's got such a headache & blocked nose, she can't wait to finish work to get some decongestant. In my head, I thank myself for grabbing a new FFP3 that morning. 🤦‍♀️

Yes there's no comparison between the Trump who is rather dumb, on the other hand Obama studied has a high IQ, I love to listen to Obama he does so much for people who have nothing.
Education is important.
Kindness is important.
Empathy is important.
Ethics is important.

Why because it's the rich tories that caused all the problems over 14 years.
Tory front benches equally furious at a tax on mansions and hundreds of thousands of kids being pulled out of poverty. Shameful stuff.

I remember 1969 we grew carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, leeks,marrow, lettuce, green beans, onions,cucumber, potatoes we had such a huge garden. The neighbours had all different fruit so we very rarely bought any
Clip from BBC Nationwide about the food 'revolution' in Britain. A wonderfully quirky, good natured, not entirely serious film dating back to October 1969.

The Guardian's reporting is convincing precisely because it's not sensationalist, a scoop, or breaking. It's investigative, solid journalism at its best, providing nuance & context to the witness statements gathered, & weighing the evidence of Farage's youth.

Well of course Trump wouldn't want anyone disrupting his show.
Trump:

-"Things happen"

Investigations by Turkey and the UN Rapporteur:

- Killed, dismembered on site by a specialist with equipment brought for that purpose, then remains were disposed of in acid and incinerated in tandoori outdoor oven at the consul’s residence

The wilful creation of a 'migrant crisis' is irresponsible & worthy of Reform. The immigrant share of asylum seekers is 5% but nobody realises this as govt & Tories paint it like the invasion Farage once postered. We're a dual national family & shan't return to this racism.
