Nothing gives me more pleasure in life than watching this man melting down.
No Kings organizers just announced they are planning a THIRD round of historic marches after Trump melted down over last weekend’s protests.

The man is an over stuffed bag of wind.
Donald Trump is too simple-minded to realize that when he brags about the White House's tacky new Caesars Palace Ballroom being "privately funded," he's admitting to taking bribes from influence peddlers, millionaires, and corporations that want something from him.

Not a nice man quite obviously. Definitely not on my Christmas list.

Interesting to hear Brian told Ruairi a gentleman should never be without a hankie.
It was Siobhan using one of Brian's monogrammed hankies to clean up baby sick which revealed to Debbie that Brian is Ruairi's father.
I wonder if Keri did it on purpose. #TheArchers

The Palestinian resistances is rooted in oppression from the occupation, not leaders. The end of the occupation will end the resistances, not the killing of leaders or civilians. The Palestinians will continue the struggle until the end of the occupation, sovereignty, and self-determination.

This bias, particularly of the BBC towards Reform, is starting to really piss me off.
BBC Radio Four have been doing it for a while.
And don’t even get me started on Israel and Palestine…(It’s not a war, it’s a genocide. Stop giving the microphone and airtime to genocide apologists!!)

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?
