What a surprise (not).
We will deserve it but not the wonderful other species that inhabit this beautiful earth that will also be lost.
๐งต Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims (see thread). As The Bear brilliantly writes: โThe ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.โ That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk
"Manchesterโs chief flag-raiser has put his people smuggling days behind him" Lee Twamley, aka Salford T-Bone, leading the flag protest against unchecked immigration in Manchester Spent 20 months in prison for smuggling migrants into the country in the back of a van ๐ @manchestermill.bsky.social
Iโve signed have you? Keep it going.
Tw@t made the BBC appologise for allowing people to question him on Question Time. Thatโs what all these shouty types want โfree speechโ only when it applies to them or people they agree with.
โค๏ธ & ๐ซ to you all on a ๐ข day.
I have to force myself to watch these shocking videos. But think we should watch & then shout out loud about animal abuse. Otherwise like, other abuse it gets hidden & ignored. The men & women there are very brave, I hope they get some international support now.
A thoughtful piece on the role of independent journalists and commentators in the age of Reform.
I really wanted Bhola to make it & have a home, to stick his paws up at the cruel pieces of trash that did this to him, so feeling heartbroken ๐ข ๐. The world feels so awful atm too. The consolation is that he knew kindness & love at the end. RIP Bhola ๐ฏ๏ธ ๐ ๐
My dog does the bark & nudge sometimes when she wants to be chased, often starts with a play bow, the nudge/ bark is often because other dogs doesnโt chase first time ๐.
We are watching the prequel to having Trump/MAGA type Gov in UK. Dangerous times for the UK. Iโm glad Iโm towards the later part of my life & donโt have children to worry about, not that I donโt worry about nieces/nephews etc. My Mum & Dad who lived through WWII would be devastated. ๐
Why do they always talk down to people. Journos always ask rapid fire questions over each other itโs what they do, all accept the bought & paid for ones Repubs admit to their briefings. More politicians need to asked hard questions & held to account for the rubbish they spout. Happening in Uk too.

Canโt believe itโs been 2 yrs but then think about what has been achieved in her name in that time & itโs immense. Tina lives on in our hearts & in her legacy ๐
Gained one ๐
Dog is thinking โI need rescuing, wont anyone come & rescue me pleaseโ.

Well having a human & a dog running by on a narrow path is a bit of a temptation. Think my dog might have done that too.
๐ such taste ๐
Think Panda & Earth belong together forever ๐
Our dog is always a bit unsettled for a day or 2 on holiday. Think she wakes up & wonders where she is & where we are. She is nearly 9 & been going on holiday since a year old but she still does it ๐

Meatball is so lovely hope someone comes forward to adopt him & is suitable ๐ฅฐ In the meantime enjoy the start of your new life Meatball you have just won the doggo lotto ๐
That fact you can join the Tory Party at 15 & have a vote in leadership elections is something they make no fuss about. So it's ok for a tiny elite minority of kids to vote for Liz Truss as PM, but not ok for the majority to vote for an MP?
About time.

Buttons saved herself, Niall gave her a chance & Liam gave her a home - what a wonderwall story ๐๐๐

Was reading about her yesterday, truly dreadful a mother could do that ๐
BBC reporting it too ๐ฎ
Goodness Iโm so relieved someone is making such a stand, I donโt know how I would sleep tonight otherwise (๐ for clarity). What do you mean weighing up WWII?? Give me strength Barage is just garbage, PM in waiting ๐คช

I was intrigued to res peoples responses & found I agreed with almost all of them. Canโt think of one I didnโt. Not perfect but better than many/most countries & generally the weather isnโt trying to kill you.
Seems we are going to lose it unless everyone wakes up๐ก
My Beagle laid like too ๐
Beautiful old boy Big T was on his last legs but now he has a chance of a lovely twilight ๐๐๐

A military parade for a draft dodger? That's like giving a Michelin star to a chef who only makes instant noodles. Let's redirect that cash to the vets who actually served.
Think this needs to be used a lot, heโll get to see it so letโs get it out there. #CadetBoneSpurs
Poor boy how can people be so callous ๐ข. Big T has found his hero, only kindness, a full belly and comfort from now on, for however long. Think Tina had a hand in his rescue๐๐๐๐
Our dog goes with us, only in UK as donโt want the hassle & expense now of taking her to Europe. Our previous dog went all over Uk & France with is pre Brexit.
Exactly.
The Russia Report was released, but heavily redacted. It wonโt be released in unredacted form. More importantly - itโs now obsolete & too narrow in scope for the current threat environment. What we need now is a comprehensive review of all foreign interference in UK democracy.
Someone else already pointed out it should be โuninterestedโ not โdisinterestedโ in another comment. He doesnโt care.
Have they cropped his ears, poor thing? Hate it when thatโs done to dogs. He is lovely & very lucky you heard about him, not a day too soon ๐๐๐
How lovely ๐ฅฐ
If only Labour would do this it could derail the Reform machine. I truly believe Bannon is steering Farage. There is money & stratagy behind the messaging for sure.
Perhaps now Musk isnโt joined at the hip to Trump perhaps heโll deport him to get his own back.
All this sounds so vindictive, like petulant semi adults having meltdowns because of perceived injustices. In the UK I would liken it to footy hooligans going on the rampage because they either lost (petulant) or won (showing off how hard they are).
We have a dog that always does that when we go out, it is only a gardening shoe & as a pup she she chewed it a bit. Still have the pair & she only chewed a bit off one of them ๐. Sheโs getting a bit now & I think I will still use those old shoes for years to come ๐
I was just about to say that. Almost word for word what the MAGAs said pre US election. No substance to anything they say.
Sad ๐ข but as the article states they 2 of them didnโt die alone, cold & hungry.
I love that Hank wonโt have to say goodbye to Chance ๐
๐Theyโre not so scary when they get a bit taller & have treats ๐
If we had room in our bathroom I would have a bidet. Not even our downstairs loo has room for one.
Why do they worry so much about women having abortions if โweโre all going to dieโ. How can they justify wanting these babies to be born then not caring enough about them or the mothers once they are born??๐ค
Not that I want to visit again but if they are looking at peoples phones & social media posts they certainly wouldnโt like my views/posts on the orange ๐คก.
Me too๐คฆโโ๏ธ
What a great rescue๐. They can manage without you Niall ๐. Bet you canโt wait to get back to The Land of Happy Doggo. I canโt wait to get back from holiday to read Tinaโs book, sadly it arrived a the day after we left ๐คฆโโ๏ธ ๐๐๐
WTF ๐ฌ ๐คฌ ๐ณ
๐คฉ Tinaโs face (& yourโs too) at No1. ๐ฅฐ. Donโt doubt yourself or your achievements Niall, you not only help 0000โs of dogs but many humans too. ๐
Emily Maitlis is a superb interviewer.
โค๏ธ that they all recognised you Niall, โค๏ธ that that this reunion (hopefully) helped fill your heart up with so much joy it will get you through your hard days. โค๏ธ that we got to see the video, thank you. ๐คฉ๐๐๐ฅฐ๐ฅน Oh & my book has arrived ๐
Lucky you, wish we lived nearer to the venues. Bet he would have loved to have met @sophiefromromania ๐ฅฐ
Mine is on order might arrive tomorrow ๐ฅฐ
๐คฉChanceโs new life is exactly where she is now & what a life that will be ๐๐๐ฅฐ
Just ordered a copy, might arrive in time to take on holiday ๐ฅฐ
It's not Bake Off. It's a global far-right insurgency. To normalise Nigel Farage, is to normalise Donald Trump. We, the media, have to wise up fast. broligarchy.substack.com/p/springtime...
Best news ever ๐ฅน this has really made me shed happy tears. Britney youโve made it ๐ฅณ
This Andrea Jenkyns?
๐คfor tomorrow & her operation can go head. She will feel so much better once her deep wounds are closed Iโm sure. Second chance for Chance for sure ๐๐๐
She really does look like Hope & shows the same fear ๐ข but little Chance grab your chance of the sweet life for your new life awaits ๐๐๐
Lovely to see Sophie play with her friend Juno. She plays like my dog ๐
Tired but happy, a good day for 22 dogs too ๐๐๐
๐คฉ he looks like heโs been with his family for weeks not a few days. Larry is ๐ก ๐๐๐
I think Larry knew exactly what he was doing in order to stay at Happy Doggo & get a โforever sofaโ of his own ๐ ๐๏ธ ๐๐
Hope Sophie feels better soon ๐
So cute ๐ฅฐ
She loves that, proper water dog ๐
๐คฉ Great News, all the hard work from everyone & Matilda herself has paid & sheโs coming to ๐ฌ๐ง What a little ๐ she is.
This is a win & an example of how dogs lives can be made I so much better that donโt need someone from half way round the world to adopt. There is no way all the dogs in Ko Samui can be rehomed let alone Thailand. Sometimes you have to take small wins that have a big impact. ๐ฅฐ
Many would have given up on Pippilotta but not Niall & Sybille ๐๐๐ Go & enjoy your life little one ๐ฅฐ
Wash & brush up, some meds, full belly, shown love & more freedom than they could only have dreamed about & transformation is amazing. It doesnโt take much for these dogs to show off their full potential ๐, know it takes time, lot of effort & money to do this to scale, I wish all ๐ had this.
