Some websites suggest #GuyFawkes was set up and Robert Cecil used paranoia about Roman Catholics to influence King James in 1605

@romanpiso.bsky.social shared a link recently which suggested that the Vatican had links to Hitler in the 1940s

So maybe Cecil/King James were right to be paranoid? 🤔

Colombia and the UK have ordered the suspension of intelligence sharing with the United States, until Trump stops murdering civilians in the Caribbean.

At least 75 innocent people have been murdered. Their murders filmed and redistributed by the Trump regime as entertainment.

Watched #BBC #Newsnight tonight, had an enormous section on the released #Epstein emails, interviewed people over there from both sides of the political divide

Rape kids, get an ambassadorship.

"Epstein in 2016 to billionaire Tom Barrack : “Send photos of you and child — make me smile.”"

Trump rewarded Tom Barrack by making him ambassador to Türkiye

Our foreign policy, if that is still the right concept, has three pillars: alienate allies, encourage enemies, and take bribes.

On this day in 1918 the parents of the poet Wilfred Owen were just listening to the church bells ringing to announce the Armistice when a telegram boy arrived with the message that their son had died.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …
