“His main theme was that the country was fucked. Largely because of Brexit. Weirdly, he has no memory of being the main architect behind the Brexit vote. He seems to think it happened in a world in which he played no part.”

Farage - the foghorn of failure.

The political bit is... could some of our more normal politicians look like they want to be here and can enjoy the place... Zack does, Sadiq Khan most of the time. The Cabinet though mostly look weighed down and like they want to do the same to the rest of us.

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

Really, Reform UK? THIS is what you're going with? That this man, who served as an MEP next to Nigel Farage for years and was made leader of your party in Wales by current deputy, Richard Tice, is just "one of tens of thousands of people Nigel meets on an annual basis"?~AA

Appalled to see this image of Donald Trump and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle.

Please... for the love of all that is good, do not share it on all your social media channels... because it simply wouldn't be done to remind the world of the association

This whole free speech thing feels like yet more nonsense because why does anyone need to test the boundaries of civility all the time. Just get a better hobby why don't you? 🤷‍♀️

It's very simple.

The people costing all the money, are the people with all the money.

Not the people with hardly any money.

It really shouldn't need explaining.

Britain is not a country of racist bigots.

Time for the decent majority to "take back control".

Rant over. And if you think I took a post too many for your liking, I will let you know when I decide to hire a volunteer editor.

Some of us like things original, well-crafted, and at THEIR pace. Because part of the escape is to take us out of OUR pace.

We deserve a second season of SOMETHING. 8/8

Every day, politicians and the right wing media whip up hatred and fear of migrants. None of them say this is wrong. None of them make the positive case for immigration. None of them tell the truth.
And then, today, someone did speak out, and the sodding BBC sodding apologised for them.
I give up.
FFS! In the midst of the dog-whistling howls, Thought For The Day today was a welcome relief. Calling out Jenrick for his brazen xenophobia and urging people to hold on to their empathy and not to let fear become cruelty.
It’s intolerable that the BBC apologised for that rare moment of decency.

Today, Israel targeted and killed 5 journalists: correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal, and Moamen Aliwa.

A dark day from Gaza made possible thanks to the defeaning silence of govts and outlets that deemed this normal.

I have been a reporter for 25 years. I know the risks reporting in war zones. This is not that situation. This is systematic silencing by Israel.

If we do not act now, there will be no one left in Gaza to tell anyone’s story.

Anas Al-Sharif has been posting all night whilst under intense Israeli bombardment.

His final post was just 20 minutes ago. It reads:

“Relentless bombardment…
For two hours, the Israeli aggression has intensified on Gaza City.”

FFS.

He didn't "kick off".

It's not a "jibe".

He said, with dignity and restraint, what we were all thinking - that Al-Obeid didn't just "die" - he, like tens of thousand of other innocent civilians, was killed by Israel as part of its ongoing programme of ethnic cleansing.
