Charlie Kirk and Tommy Robinson have tried to stir up trouble by sowing fear of people just for being Muslim. I’m sure they hate it when evidence counteracts their propaganda. Samir ‘Sam’ Zitouni put his own life in danger to stop train stabbings and Hamzah Albar chased and held a rapist.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Alaska was Russian until 1867, if Russia invaded to ‘right historic wrongs’ would Trump just hand it over? Of course not , but that’s what he expects the Ukrainians to do.
A man with no courage or morals has thrown them under the bus.

Finally made it to Scotland for the first time this year, and fair to say that we’ve started with a bang. Superb views of large numbers of Bearded Tits alongside the River Tay. #birdingScotland #birds #UKWildlife #photography #birdPhotography #birdsoftheworld #wildlifePhotography #nature #wildlife

Temminck's Stint on the South Lake this afternoon at WWT Slimbridge. The wader was pushing the limits of my lens on the far side of the lake. Lifer for me :) Tick.

Nobody should be surprised that yet another unrepentant criminal has been pardoned by Trump. He’s probably being lined up for Attorney General.

At first sight nothing to see on Goldcliff Pools but way over behind the island on Bec’s and only visible from the Snipe screen hundreds of waders were waiting for the tide to turn!
