Just an older British bloke who is very dismayed by the series of rightward lurches the world has taken lately. I respect diverse opinions, but not flagrant refusal to see the truth. I still #FBPE. Unsolicited unwelcome DM = instant block.

I am told by people with very a similar political ideal than myself that there is no difference between Labour and deform and you have to be fucking kidding me. The current government is not planning for mass deportation, nor to close down the NHS, nor to sever our relationship with EU....

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I think yesterday’s unprecedented mob handed visit tells you that actually we and most of our leaders DO care. Yes there is flattery, but there is also the powerful image of eight elected European leaders effectively staring him down.
Be real. Trust and [Insert name of ANY successful career politician] do not, sadly, sit comfortably together in a sentence. But @francevisafree.bsky.social is 100% correct - removing Starmer now would be a huge set back for Britain vis-à-vis European relations.

Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."
Raskin: In any event, if he really cared about public safety in DC… he would not have pardoned 1600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office.
I live in rural Missouri, population 480. I travel to DC a few times a year. The President is lying.
Every Democratic state that can do this, should do this. Then, when we control the levels of power in DC, we ban gerrymandering for the entire country. Once and for all. Everyone playing by the same rules.
Doesn’t deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado. Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags. Got it.

This is real but AFAICS has had very little exposure. Let’s hope that means UK media have got bored with Johnson and his inane babbling. “Chat GPT androids reminding the elderly to take their pills in a tirelessly polite and deferential manner”.

Of course. A coding error. When a president who doesn't give a shit about the Constitution and thinks his constituents are completely stupid, coding errors like this happen. The evil orange ulcer and its bosses are unworthy of hosting the Olympic Games. Boycott now! #NolympicsUSA! #StopApartheid!

And sickening hearing prominent British journalists ask Trump questions. I mean what is the fucking point? His replies are invariably just a mix of blatent nonsense and self aggrandisement.
Are you ready to hand more than £1,000bn to England's privatised water companies by 2050? Shareholders don't invest. Money will be extracted from customers, shareholders will own the resulting assets and income streams and collect dividends. Public ownership is the only sane way.
So you’re telling me that a man in Arkansas raped and impregnated a 15 year old girl who is now being forced to carry and birth his child… only got probation and a $690 restitution fine to the child because “he was drunk at the time”. Yeah. Protect the children, right?

Trump wants people to believe he opposes windmills because he's concerned about the safety of whales swimming nearby, rather than the fact that the fossil fuel industry is bankrolling his fascism.
We don't NEED the Epstein files. Most of his victims are still alive today. The truth is not dead. All we need to do is LISTEN to them.

Thing is if we made him a citizen we could prosecute him…..
Obama/Biden had a chance to arrest and prosecute him for his Treasonous collusion with Putin in 2016 but did nothing. Biden/Harris had 4 years to prosecute his Treason, Espionage, & Insurrection. They chose to turn their backs and let him run for POTUS. Yeah, he is a dirt bag but so are they!
