Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

Starmer is well aware of what needs to be done. Here is what he said when voting for Johnson's UK-EU deal.
Services "a gaping hole", "lack of ambition", "Imperfect", "thin", "a basis to build on".
Share, to show the PM that you back him going further and faster to improve our deal with the EU. ~AA

I very occasionally light the stove if the weather is extremely cold (but haven't for 2-3 years now). It's still there as back up if needed.
What I don't miss about it is the hassle and expense, nor the very serious damage it can do to our physical health.

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

How do we know if any of these quotes from journalists using unnamed sources are actually true?
Because as far as we know, they could simply be made up to further the agenda of a particular news organisation.
Unless sources are named then these quotes should be treated as pure conjecture not fact

The president of the united states is a pedophile rapist who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and spent hours with an underage victim at Epstein's home. Now he's currently huddled in the situation room directing a cover up about it like it's a seal team 6 operation. Do I have that right?

Everyone is posting this video of a Ukrainian soldier shooting down a Russian Shahed drone with a "minigun," and it’s a great video worth sharing.
I just can’t help thinking that they launch hundreds upon hundreds of those drones at us every single day. Every day!
