I find myself completely unable to function today. I’ve seen a child surrounded by the flames of what was her family home. Starving babies. Defeated, broken men. Women cradling their shrouded children. It’s too much. And yet I still have to hear ‘but Hamas..’ FUCK OFF. Israel is committing genocide

If you’ve done something really vile, like surgeon Greg Malham, and claim it was a “lapse in judgement that does not reflect your core values or beliefs,” chances are you’re not just vile but also a liar who simply got caught out accurately representing your very core values and beliefs.

The consequence of not good enough, as evidenced in the United States right now, is that you inevitably get much, much worse.

The Sunday Shot is always excellent & this one was no exception. An interesting & informative range of topics discussed by the panel & in the interviews. Some centred on the budget, some on election issues & some on areas where we can & should be doing much better e.g. poverty, climate, environment.
