The USA is now a rogue state. The UN needs to sanction those responsible for the flagrant violation of international agreements.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Why have you not introduced a wealth tax and instead penalised pensioners and the disabled? We should be protecting the vulnerable not running scared of the wealthy elite. Shame on you.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social Why target the disabled and poor when a wealth tax would generate all the money required. You are increasingly acting more Tory than the Tories. Do not squander the support the public gave you. Be brave and principled before it is too late.

Did we really elect a Labour Government? I do not recognise them as the guardians of fairness and equality - how do they justify cutting benefits when they could easily raise the funds required from a wealth tax, and/or taxing capital gains properly?

For 7 weeks I didn’t read the news, today I did. Can’t believe nothing has changed - Trump and his billionaire stooges are still destroying US democracy and no one seems to be fighting back. Do the Democrats have a leader? Someone needs to step up and unite and focus the opposition.

The way the US is going it soon won’t qualify to be in the so called free world.

Trump + Musk + that bloke from Facebook = the lunatics have taken over the asylum

I can’t be the only person thinking that Trump and co are trying to create the type of society we saw in ‘A Handmaids Tale’? The question is will Americans stop them.

Feeling safe from the orange man’s madness here in NZ. It must be hell to be an intelligent person in the US after this self inflicted disaster.

@aotearoa.bsky.social So looking forward to being back in NZ next week and revisiting all my favourite places. There’s nothing quite like the huge hug I feel when I’m back.

The USA cannot be a democracy when an incoming president instantly undoes years of progress without any
debate in congress.

Yes I have discovered Image Playground and am busy trying it out. Must find a younger photo of myself as it seems to think I’m very old. I am but …

We used to live in New Zealand and I’m beginning to think we’d be much safer there. What a scary world we live in.

Is it just me? As we age aren’t we meant to get more ‘conservative’ but I get more radical.

Couldn’t find a decent photo so used my ‘Viking’ one from those created on a popular genealogy site.
