Let’s remember one thing: Charlie Kirk’s commitment to free speech - if you can call it that - included the stoning to death of gay people, and those who mourn his passing are as bad. For my part I say ‘good riddance.’

Hey, UK media!
Are you just going to let Farage dump another steaming pile of populist bullshit on us *without ever* properly scrutinising his ideas or him…his funding, his riots, his links to Putin and Trump, his Brexit shitshow, his grifting side gigs, his lies, his ignorance…?
Call. Him. TF. Out.

Performative nonsense; that's what Live Aid was. Live Aid did nothing to help anyone other than inflate the massive egos of the celebrities involved. It was a massive sign of the times, a metaphor for the ugliness that was British society in the 1980s

As a Brit viewing from afar, I would say that a country with more guns than people is likely to become completely ungovernable - and it's pretty much most of the way there already - leading to consequences that none of us can entirely predict. 1/6

These foxes were abandoned as pups and then nursed back to health by this Irishman. And even though they were free to return to the wild, they decided to stay with him - forever.

Values matter, for they inform our character, set expectations of the behaviour of others, and provide a firm foundation upon which we build decent lives.
It seems that everyone has abandoned these, such as integrity, humility, compassion and fairness. Eventually, they'll all wake up.

I've seen it reported that Must is worth some $500 billion.
So is this the result of hard graft, or is it avarice?
And what can one person do with that amount of money anyway?
Does he even know how much a loaf of bread costs in Walmart?

This deserves serious attention and debate. As a failed Modmin of a car club, I couldn't ever get people to participate face to face or go out on drives as a group. It's exasperating and it causes so much loneliness.

Please remember that, while you may disagree with her politically, Anita Bryant was a human being with a family, who deliberately harmed millions of other human beings and their families, all to satisfy her own petty and small-minded bigotry, and she left the world worse for her presence in it.
