My Dad escaped the Nazis in 1939 on the Kindertransport.

He went to night school then University, trained as a physicist. Married my mum, brought up 3 kids, all work in public sector.

Under these proposed rules, he would have been deported.

So my lovely Ukrainian neighbours. Youngest only knows the UK. She started school here. The middle boy came aged 9. He's got friends and school. Oldest daughter has a fiancé met here. Collectively they own a business and are the loveliest people.

We want to turf them out in a few years, do we?

I would be grateful if my fellow Roman Catholics would take a ****ing breath and consider where our all too recent willingness to cosy up to fascist authoritarians got us before leaning forward to kiss their hand again.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"

This is without any evidence or data to support it. Cancer existed before COVID vaccines. The rise in early onset cancers- going on for decades- is not linked to COVID vaccines. Follow scientists & medical researchers. Not ppl selling snake oil. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I agree. Since I started going to church again, it has lifted my mood considerably. I'm not an idiot. I believe in science, the Big Bang and evolution. Neither do I use religion to put others down. I'm just someone who has found some peace after difficult times.

It's James Clerk Maxwell's birthday, so please appreciate this unusually wholesome image of a natural scientist at work. He's the one at the back.
