“Just because drugs were moving through a country doesn't mean the president of that country should be arrested and "put in jail for the rest of his life."

"I fear that the day will come when the Mafia will take over the government and we will have a president who is a member of the Mafia."

Harry S Truman

Was he onto something?

According to the government “we are waiting to hear from the US if the US broke international law when the US hijacked President Maduro and flew him to the US”.

So that’s OK then.

I’ve just discovered Cleanwithbea on Youtube. I’m in bits and genuinely moved. Humbled. If you watch it, it will help fund her work which is completely voluntary.

“Maduro being held in a cell in New York and being treated just the same as any other prisoner, and whisper it.., apart from Jeffrey Epstein”.

Virginia Giuffre ended her book by asking one question: where are those videotapes the FBI confiscated from Epstein’s house and why haven’t they led to the prosecution of any more abusers?

“The US has “captured”Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and launched a "large-scale" strike against the country”.
I would be more impressed if he had “captured” Vladimir Putin and launched a large scale strike against the country.

After Trump’s intervention in Venezuela, and his intention to instigate regime change in the region, should we be surprised if his next move is to get rid of Zelenskyy and put in someone who is more sympathetic to both him and Putin?

We shouldn’t be surprised that Farage is leading in the polls and we shouldn’t surprised if he goes on to win the next election, not because he would be a great leader (he certainly wouldn’t be) but because he has American money and interests backing him.

Big shout out to Love Your Pet Ltd on eBay. I ordered 25kg of sunflower hearts for £35.99 plus just £3.99 delivery. 40 quid for 25 kg is pretty good don’t you think?
It arrived the very next day. Even the birds are doing handstands.

I know we’re in different times and modern warfare requires modern thinking but I keep wondering what Churchill would have done about Putin and Trump?

Trump with Netanyahu now says he has about 5 things to discuss during their upcoming meetings and one of those will be Gaza. We can only wonder what the other 4 will be!

Trump has got us all by the balls. We want to tell him to FO. We feel like we should just ignore him and form an alliance with Europe to take on Putin but that’s impractical and impossible. He really does have all the cards and Zelenskyy knows it. Just got to suck it up and hope for the best.

Scientists think there may have been other intelligent, civilized life forms elsewhere in the universe—but they could have gone extinct due to self-destruction, environmental collapse, resource depletion, pandemics, or cosmic catastrophes.
Feels very close to home doesn’t it!

Squeaky clean Robert Jenrick on Sky News, “I am elected as a British MP. My sole interest is in protecting the British people”. He might have conveniently forgotten his personal interest and his involvement in Cash for Favours in The Westbury Print Scandal when he was in the last Govt. Barrowboy!

1. I’m no defender of fox hunting but I can’t believe the new law will stop it.
The police hardly turn up for a violent robbery nowadays so I cant see them bothering to investigate the Lord of the Manor and his posh pals who might be chasing a fox.

The thing about news is, it has a very short shelf life. Who remembers Trump and the Stormy Daniels Saga? This alone should have put him in prison.
December 28, 2025 at 8:25 AM
Trump says he dumped Epstein because he was a sleaze bag. Therefore Trump knew what was going on. He should have commissioned an independent investigation of the files and all the evidence etc. He should do that to clear his own name but he wont. Why not? Because he’s in them, up to his neck.
December 27, 2025 at 9:45 AM
Someone in the FBI tipped off Epstein about the raid and arrest. That gave Epstein time to rip out the hard drives containing the videos. The FBI is in Trump’s pocket. Therefore, the only one who can ensure a complete and thorough investigation leading to charges is…, Donald J Trump.
Go figure.

Our friends and relatives in Ireland have asked that we do not send presents as they have to pay import duty now that the UK has left the EU, so we send money instead. Another Brexit bonus! Imagine how much trade we lose throughout the year, let alone Christmas!
December 24, 2025 at 10:41 AM
I’m not a lawyer but i’m starting to think that the Epstein Files aren’t going to be the smoking gun I hoped they would be.
December 24, 2025 at 9:20 AM
I doubt Trump personally told the DOJ to redact anything that had his name or face on it. He wouldn’t need to. That would be like telling his personal chef to feed him. But if he, or anyone is on a photo with an underage girl, it won’t be released anyway, to “protect the girl” so we’ll never know.

My sister gave up her job to become a full time carer for our mum who is 94. For this she received a carer’s allowance which has been stopped as she is now drawing the state pension. I don’t know if this is something to do with the last or present govt, but can someone please make it make sense!

So no action against Farage for over spending election expenses. No plan to recover the £187m owed by PPE Medpro and none probably against any others involved in alleged fraud during Covid.
BTW, has the compensation been fully paid yet to all the completely innocent Sub Post Office Managers?
