Utterly disgusted to read that the Tate creature and his brother have been released to the US. Is everyone just going to roll over for Trump, or does someone have some principles?

Clear to see that Zelenskyy isn't going to be allowed to remain in position as the democratically elected president of Ukraine, particularly after Trump labels him a 'dictator'. I fear that this is going to get a whole lot messier very rapidly. 😞

George Monbiot on Ukraine/Putin: “It’s as if he’d come to the UK, he’d occupied Kent, Surrey, Sussex & then somebody else like Donald Trump comes along & says fine guys just live with that. These people who go on about sovereignty will sell anyone down the river” 👏

In an effort to economise this week, I made the grave error of buying 'cup a soups' for my lunches, because they were on special offer and a fraction the cost of my usual lunch.
What vile nastiness. Like the salty sweat of the anti-woke, with subtracted flavourings.

It's the worst-kept secret on these islands that the UK Government is complicit in Israel’s genocidal assault on Palestine.
Selling weapons and giving diplomatic support to war criminals is never acceptable.

Notable in the BBC's coverage of this case is the distinct lack of the words 'she' and 'her', when referring to Dr Upton. Second page I've read, and all the recognition for the gender of the nurse, but not one mention for Dr Upton - a FEMALE doctor.

2 years ago, Scotland overwhelmingly passed a bill to make Trans people's lives a little easier.
❌But the Tories used an undemocratic backdoor to block it.
🥀Now, Labour plans to abandon the LGBTQ+ community and uphold the undemocratic block on Scotland's bill.

Not happy with official estimate of asteroid 2024 yr4 being 40m x 100m, Forbes have now gone with 'A THIRD OF A MILE'. Again, not happy with official chances of impact currently being 1.3-2.3%, they've found an 'amateur astronomer' who was willing to say it's 6%.
