Apologies for the sarcasm but I can't help myself. It's probably best to assume I'm being sarcastic unless there's a frowny face.

Descriptions of pictures available but as 99.99% of people who look at my profile can see, I'll wait for requests.
Has anyone got more information or even just a wider photo of this incident?

The police do have the right to move people on but was there any reason to do that in this case?

Has #Israel completely lifted the blockade of #Gaza now that the hostages have been released?

Are they adding to their initial demands or trying to impose different conditions?

Until I got to the part which tried to exonerate #Putin for the war with #Ukraine, I thought there may be some validity to these arguments.

How dare the Ukrainians shoot a high ranking enemy soldier whose country attacked them?

Don’t they know the only legitimate targets are enemy foot soldiers?

I found a photo of the White House staff member who posted the racist picture of the Obamas.

There's no proof available yet but it fits his MO perfectly.
