Why didn't the thugs riot, loot shops and burn libraries over this? Where were the flag waving 'Patriots'?
Why are the media so sympathetic with their teary ex Royal Marine narrative? How come they don't mention his religion?

So, how come this wasn't seen as terrorism? How come there were no riots, no libraries set on fire, no bin blazes? How come they lead with ex- Royal Marine? Why is the narrative totally different from the media, and reaction so different from the public?

How long will it be for Chris Mason to say that Keir Starmer must resign and Angela Rayner's position is untenable?
ITV News, "Did you racially insult pupils at school?
Nigel Farage, "I would never do it in a hurtful or insulting way.. Not with intent"
ITV News, "I don't understand what you mean?"

A closer to home episode of Waldy and Bendy Adventures in Art for me this week. Britain's greatest forger, Shaun Greenhalgh. The Art world, the class system and the justice system all under the microscope. I'm glad I'm on the planet at the same time as these three chaps.
New episode of the podcast just out. We discuss: Britain's greatest forger; why London gets all the art; and what's going on in all those mad Mary Magdalene paintings.

Don't quite know how she manages to spin so many plates , but she does. I've gone down so many rabbit holes and explored lands and time through her work. Go and see her if you can. @drjaninaramirez.bsky.social Her books are fab....She hugs to! 🤘🎸
I’ve got to the end of the most brutal part of this tour. I’ve been overwhelmed with love and friendship. We’re all little pebbles splashing, making spaces, connections, webs, and our ripples reach far. You all help me get up every day and carry on. Thank you. Help Legenda fly….

Why is it that in the UK, whenever one mentions the office of President, the knee jerk reaction is Trump or Putin and never the man next door.
Interesting perspective on the two terms of the Irish president Michael D Higgins, which end tonight.
Perhaps the most popular Irish man in Ireland, he has used his office to speak for the nation & for social justice. His successor has big shoes to fill, & is also a socialist. A good read:
