The Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia story should be leading every news bulletin in the world. The gravity of this situation is off the scale and our world leaders must demand action. #elsalvador

Found another medieval silver penny today #metaldetecting. I'm pretty sure that it's Edward I c1272-1307 but instead of the most common CIVITAS LONDON on the reverse it has a mint that I can't make out. Also found a Charles I farthing, some buttons, a musket ball and a mystery piece of bronze.

Limiting time #metaldetecting due to a bad shoulder. Today's only interesting bit was this post medieval silver coin fragment. Rosa Sine Spina (a rose without thorns) and Civitas London would have been the full legends.

So apparently this #TeslaTakedown is bigly upsetting to him. So the whole hitting where it hurts idea’s got some merit… keep it up!

Starmer has played the cards he needed to but I will be on the streets with my war paint on to protest, the second that rapist arsehole lands in London.

Reading the inane rants of Trump and Musk I have to question the sanity of the USA for letting this continue. It can’t go on.

Trump’s framing of these talks is so wrong.
1) Why does Russia have any right to any sovereign Ukrainian territory?
2) Why’s the US “mediating”? Have both parties asked it to?
3) How can the US be a mediator when it’s seeking its own material gain from at least one party?
4) Why exclude Europe?

I’m sorry. You can’t conduct “peace talks” with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine without Ukraine at the table.

Seriously time for NATO to ask if they really want the US to be a member.
