We have Tommy Robinson spewing similar racist poison in the U.K. but in this newspaper article check out who was the rapist and who stopped him.

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.

Hollywood directors used to show the ruthlessness and inhumanity of the Nazis by including a scene where they gunned down people captured or offering no resistance. It made you really glad that you were on the side that upheld morality and the Geneva Convention.

Classic own goal and in spite of this demonstration of the architect of Brexit Farage’s poor judgement the same people are still buying his lies.

So many X accounts pretending to be MAGA supporting Americans are actually based in Africa and Eastern Europe, I wouldn’t be surprised if a good many Farage promoting accounts aren’t similarly distributed.

As a racist South African migrant Musk obviously isn’t versed in the history of the country that he has migrated to or recognised that mass migration has made America what it is today. So many brilliant people, ideas and inventions have arisen from that ‘melting pot’ that he despises.

Merlin picked up these calls in Holme Lacy this PM. I saw all except the Black Redstart and did see a couple of Fieldfares.

Good to hear that there is still a population as we hear so little about them. I’ll be close to a mature orchard in Hereford next week, saw Green Woodpecker last year but I know it’s a habitat that Lesser Spots would favour, any tips for finding them?

You’re right there buddy, can’t beat it for getting close to waders. I’ve more close video of the Little Stint but I didn’t want to overdo it!

Four images, the first showing vaccinated and unvaccinated twins, two showing the ignorance about vaccination in the 19th century (because cowpox vaccination gave protection from smallpox the RFK’s of the day believed people would be turned into cows) and a report of causes of death from London.

I guess “due process” only applies to (some!) Americans. The Trump administration doesn’t believe it’s a universal concept that treats all people, even foreigners, as of equal worth, all life as sacred. Why aren’t the ‘pro-life’ Christian nationalists reminding Trump “thou shall not murder”?

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

Welcome to a country that doesn’t have Fox News to propagate your lies President Trump. So proud of Channel 4 for taking you on, and none of your threats and blackmail mean anything here.

If this is the Kirk shooter how did he magic the rifle wrapped in a towel into ‘nearby woods’? The Mauser bolt action rifle is long and heavy, wouldn’t fit in that rucksack and costs over $24,000 dollars. Something doesn’t add up here. 🤔

Priceless! So the man who managed to bankrupt casinos and bases his whole strategy on trying to be popular rather than having to take hard fiscal decisions, is better qualified than a team of economists? Pretty much in line with putting dummies in charge of all the other important offices of state!

Sickening to see the Kremlin-style gold-effect doors in the background, cementing Trump’s position as a tasteless promoter of Kitsch. Visiting politicians, who have been entertained by previous presidents, are going to be laughing up their sleeves at his tacky home improvements.
