So much outrage about Facebook cutting off a dissident at China’s request. Facebook does this for Singapore all the time. Including to my husband Kenneth Jeyaretnam’s posts and profile.

As a physician, I know conversion therapy is dangerous and goes against everything we stand for in healthcare. It's abusive and not grounded in science.
Also, the deployment of military forces for domestic landscaping violates Folia Colligere protocols.
Also Ron, in case this is spun, I remember a case of someone who had posted something about “shooting that *%#” re Obama and he was released.
Don’t worry! My blood pressure is good, after reading this article 😂
Not my understanding of how freedom of the press works. Tice: “very happy to speak to people from the media but if a certain media organisation distorts and completely acts in an irresponsible way, then equally they're (RP) entitled to say we're going to to other parts of the media, not yourselves."
Now we know what Trump’s big announcement is going to be.
What a terrifying thought. Hadn’t realised, for example, that I could be hypnotised into thinking I had compassion and humanity when in fact I was an extremist thug.

I second this guess.
Today's column for @seattletimes.com: "But for many others, Katrina affirmed what they already knew: The color of your skin and the size of your bank account determined whether you could flee or were left to die, or whether you could rebuild or were displaced." #katrina
Siri, show me an example of projection using the term “Goon”.
Isn’t this their training programme for council candidates?
I’m so sorry. I can’t begin to imagine how hard this must be for you.
I’m not a Yank. I have apologised to the OP for not realising this was about Australia. Antisemitism in Australia is a scourge.
Yes, see above I have apologised for confusing US with America. Anti semitism in Australia is accepted as being at one the highest levels anywhere amongst democracies in the Western world
There have been antisemitic attacks in Australia going back to 1920 firebombing of synagogues. Yes recent attacks have been attributed to Iran but new hate crime laws benefit everyone don’t they?
I apologise for getting that wrong. But Antisemitism in Australia is one of the highest for a Western democracy. Fire-bombings of synagogues and a cafe going back to 1920, Olympic athletes targeted, beatings, desecrated graves, vandalism, doxxing, death threats including to a 5yr old child etc
No need to tag me. I took a chance tagging you originally hoping it was your area if expertise and you wouldn’t get annoyed
Oh lovely!
I mean the castle not just Rufus Sewell
Is that it! Very beautiful
Same! And the British PM still in place …
I’m watching The Diplomat, last episode season 2. Can we get Rufus Sewell to put in a call to Trump?
What the absolute fuck! I personally go to these hotels to work with asylum-seekers in those hotels. I’m a survivor of abuse. This is as much about protecting women and girls as the hatred against trans women is about protecting women and girls.
It was me! I tagged you in a post about breakfast. I included Dosay in my choice for breakfast. I also have cravings now. (My community calls it Dosay or Dosai but it’s the same)
Cross-party MPs publish ‘ready to go’ blueprint for electoral reform commission “We believe the government has a responsibility to urgently address the use of [FPTP] for general elections…” #FPTP #ProportionalRepresentation #getPRdone www.politics.co.uk/news/2025/09...

This! Liberal Democrats are officially the third largest party already before you factor in the by-elections
@samcoatessky.bsky.social hi Sam, this morning you stated “…the main opposition parties, the Cons and Reform UK…” Unless I missed 67 Parliamentary by-elections since July, the Lib Dems are very much the main opposition party with the Cons, not Reform. Do we have to keep doing this?
Do you mean “ticket Masala” or “billing Masala.”? There may be a language barrier here. Also I have some taramasalata to sell you.
Chutney Mary’s is very posh now. But giggling as I remember my late father in law, JB Jeyaretnam recounting his hall at UCL and how he always knew when it was “curry night” because there would be raisins in the stew. Very Anglo.😂
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
What an unhelpful comment given this thread and the appalling connotations of “deport”
Well done Zoe. Isn’t the fact that we haven’t had a WW3 proof that measures put in place after WWII, work?
Well there you go - assigning motive to me. I’m merely responding to your words which to remind you are, “lliterally the worst crime against humanity I can even think of”
I don’t need to compare atrocities you’re actually the one who came up with a qualifiying superlative
🤨
‘Believe the women’ as we live and breathe ( yes, I know this isn’t really an example of that )
Amazing!
Evil bastards doing this to innocent children. A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s efforts to send Guatemalan children being held in U.S. shelters back to their home country. A hearing was scheduled for later Sunday to determine whether the deportations were legal. #Pinks
That’s exactly what is said. Also Trump.
The war crimes in Gaza are horrific. But the fact that these are the worst crimes you can think of speaks volumes. I work with Tamil survivors of torture - asylum seekers who fled the genocide against Tamils in Sri Lanka. I tried unsuccessfully to get Rajapakse arrested when he fled to Singapore.
Also that Bibi’s majority is razor thin cobbled together by a coalition and that he would have been out by now without this war. And that I condemn every nation that didn’t seize on the opportunity to arrest him when he visited
About time we started to listen to the victims
Actually I get LGBT in Africa begging as well as the others. Also a nice line in USA military or medical men sending me DMs.
Ah- I can’t have fruit for breakfast hence the porridge made with water. I’ve got used to it now. Love breakfast out and as you say in rural areas where they produce their own meat.
We say Dosai but this is usually called Dosa here.
Yes!! And in Singapore always banana leaf curry for breakfast with idli
Having said that -my son made full English-ish for us this morning before he left. He had bacon & real sausages, this is my plate. Failed attempt to make hash browns with 🍠 scrambled eggs look solid here-but they weren’t. Delicious and Filling!
I’m diabetic, need to take meds/eat in the morning so always porridge made with water 😱 Brunch however! -that’s Shakshuka, Turkish eggs, Dosai … @snig.bsky.social @shyamalirodrigues.bsky.social @yingtperrett.bsky.social @tortymurray.bsky.social @ver-bat-man.bsky.social @brexcyclopaedia.bsky.social
The terrible thing is that if Trump dies now then Los Angeles isn’t going to be standing for long.
For those interested in NI & those who should be - looking at the Straw man & Farage 👇
Resister here. Sister from another nation. You can expect to see me protesting on the ground against Trump for his state visit to Britain.
Thank you Jules. I needed this. #Pinks
I should have said: Village of the Damned.
Lots of movies the year I was born but this one freaked me and my brothers out. We already harboured a suspicion that very blonde kids were aliens.
When I was young my brother & I watched a silent Charlie Chaplin movie where he was running from a bad guy like crazy. He stopped, hid round a corner, then lit a cigarette. The subtitle said “he stops for a breather” From then on my little brother thought ‘stopping for a breather’ meant smoking.
I love that you’ve put so much thought into this. This is better than anything I’ve dared to dream.
Tomorrow I will be a tabling a motion to force the government to release the legal advice it has received on Israel's military action in Gaza and breaches of international law. Ministers cannot turn a blind eye to this humanitarian catastrophe any longer.
Bannatyne customer? Please set your gender to non-binary Then he'll have a data conversion problem. If he tries to eliminate the option, he won't know which to set: male or female I am an LGBTi+ ally PLEASE SHARE THIS POST bsky.app/profile/seen...

Sarong. It’s so right
My first thought is that they are actually brother and sister
There are about three LibDem feeds that you can pin to your timeline too.
Thanks to Jennie for the link. The two in Halifax have been arrested. Must admit when I first saw this I thought it was Halifax in the States somewhere.
Thank you! At least they were arrested
Good. Do you have a link Jennie ? I tried to find it on here earlier
Absolutely. We’ve had a colourful past re bad apples and at least one at the moment who doesn’t seem to share my liberal values but I’m immensely proud of who we have.
There are plenty of young ones. My family shouldn’t have to live in fear.
Wow, wasn't expecting a block for this I didn't even say "this is Starmer's fault" but surely there needs to be some push back against these far right narratives, which he isn't doing Does the "Island of Strangers" or immigration doing "incalculable damage to the UK" really help or hinder racists?
Agree. Starmer has to take responsibility for this.
This needs to be stopped.
Nima, I’m so sorry: We are not going to get used to it. We are going to fight it. My husband and my family owe everything to the wonderful teams in the NHS.
We’re not safe. Watch this. All of this. The man gives a Nazi salute.
I believe the argument to not honour asylum is a failure to grasp British values and our place in the world. Fuelled by the old Lump of Labour fallacy. A belief that resources are limited rather than that govts are failing us. A fatal misunderstanding of the figures- aided and abetted by media lies
I hope we’re not into using ‘homo’ as a slur.
I know. I’m just accurately reflecting our history. I admire Christine and I’m glad to know that at least one MP defied the whip. We are LibDems after all. But also we’re not perfect and it worries me when we gloat.
Because here in the U.K.we know him as TACO.
It is
Hell no!
The past
Good to know especially given how rapidly we grew. But Christine Jardine defied the whip and was removed as Spokesperson on Women and Equalities. There was at least one problematic de-selection.
Why is Ed Davey the only person who is willing to talk any flipping sense in this country?
This sounds eerily familiar. Remember during the EU referendum when one time minister Michael Gove declared that the public ‘have had enough of experts.’ ?
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
And it’s at most three days a week. Not sure if some of them can even dress themselves.

So she wasn’t really a Remainer if she spread that myth that Brussels was ruining us.
You mean they don’t want their fascism uncovered?
But also filled with stories of the relatives who became out and out fascists, had hereditary diseases, wore Nazi uniforms for fun. So, I’ll not be rocking the boat as this position is way too cushy.
And the best gaslighting is the one where they’ve convinced people they work.
Or Lee Kuan Yew. My father-in-law J B Jeyaretnam didn’t live long enough to see him put in the ground sadly, and the stress of the persecution had already killed my m-i-l (we believe as her cancer came back) but at least my husband & I got to do a little jig when we heard the news.
Because Vance is talking about training he’s had to prepare for takeover?
BREAKING: A federal appeals court has ruled (rightly) that His Magasty's tariffs are illegal. Which is really cool until it gets to the Supreme Corpse, and they gently lick all the pus off his balls.

Opinion | "The Lib Dem leader knows this country is desperate to feel it has agency over something – anything," writes Emily Maitlis trib.al/FA4N1zO
The federal appeals court has ruled Trump's tariffs illegal. As has been pointed out the power to tariff a country rests with Congress. It’s going to make for an interesting State visit to the U.K.
The tariffs are dead in the water currently
