Migrated from the hell hole and found it much better for my mental health here. I live a quiet retired life in rural Suffolk, UK with Himself who is finally working part-time in the wind down to retirement, 12 yr old arthritic dog, 2 cats and 6 chickens.

Good to see you back. Not right to suspend someone and not tell them why.

Nigel Farage won't apologise for his history of racism because "if he apologised, he would be turning to his own support base and saying, โ€˜Youโ€™re all guilty too,'" a Reform source tells the Times.

So essentially he was a racist and he believes his supporters are racists too

Just try to treasure your time with him and look on it as a bonus. Such a hard thing to go through but we do it because we love them and want what is best for them. Sending virtual hugs.

I feel for you Janey Lou. I know I'm going to have to face this with Beulah. Now 12 and a half and arthritic I know realistically I can't expect more than 2 more years at the most. OH never wants pets as he says it's the hardest bit but I say then you'd miss out on the good times. Sending hugs.

Morning. Hope you get the bulbs in. I should put more in but I buy loads then never get around to it ๐Ÿ˜… I've got to get on and finish the cards for local friends and neighbours. Hate them hanging over me. And I've some quiz questions to write. Have a good day.

So? That's their business. There will be reasons why but that's none of your business. Stop tittle tattling and go and do some proper reporting. We're having our democracy eroded by the far right and billionaires. Try looking into that instead.

I know how you feel. Their relationship is no one else's business but theirs. But the papers have to make Meghan out to be a nasty bad person who took their darling Harry away from his family. It's pathetic.

If they're unwell then they should be at home not travelling around and going to work, school, shops and social events. No way will they keep the mask on all the time or wear one that properly protects others. What ridiculous messaging.

Morning Kitty. An early start but good to get it over with first thing in so you're not worrying about it all day. Hope it goes well and you get to spend the rest of the day doing more enjoyable things. Take care x

What is this obsession with flying bloody flags? They'd be better using that money to fill some potholes and keep libraries and children's centres open. I now see a flag and I just want to rip it down and wrap it round a bloody racist and use it to tie them to a lamp post.

Girlguiding volunteers brutally quit after 'heartbreaking' trans kids ruling Girlguiding faces a volunteer exodus as members resign over the ban on trans girls and young women. Members say the exclusion betrays the charityโ€™s core ethos of inclusivity

I had an inkling that this would happen as a result of Girlguiding ban on trans girls.

The "critical" are destroying institutions and organisations because they can't help but judge others that are different than themselves and won't shut up about it.

Massive amounts of respect to those exodusing.

I regularly tell my dog off when shes barking at people/horses/other dogs innocently out for a stroll down our lane. As soon as they've gone past our house peace is resumed. Does that count? ๐Ÿค”

Note to BBC: There is absolutely no need to treat Michael Gove with any respect and deference just because he now happens to be โ€˜Lord Goveโ€™.
Heโ€™s still a deeply dishonest, slimy individual with a shocking record of destruction when in office, that the UK will take a generation to recover from. Ok?

The US and Musk can go straight to Hell... the place that Trump and his billionaires have created in less than a year.

Where lies and corruption have all but wiped out any sense of democracy.

Heaven help the American people who didn't vote for Trump's Republicans.

House of Lords Budget 4Dec2025
YouTube video by Prem Sikka House of Lords Budget 4Dec2025

Summing up the UK govt's budget:

Inequalities, profiteering, regressive taxation and neutering of public investment do not provide firm foundations for the economy.

We need a Budget for the masses, not just for the super-rich, bond markets and corporations..

Morning Kitty. Only do the bits that show with your housework and spend more time on fun things ๐Ÿ˜… We've got our village Christmas Tree Festival over this weekend so I'm helping with refreshments later today. It's the second year of it and last year the trees in the Church were beautiful.

You'll have to let us know how authentic it tastes later! This is the second year of the Festival and it was lovely last year. The trees in the Church were beautiful and such a lovely warm atmosphere. Have a good day xx

Morning. Such good news about your Mum. So you know the KFC seasoning secret then. I stopped eating chicken so not had KFC in yrs. Do have it now but only in stir fries and curries. Now fancy one! It's the village Christmas Tree Festival this weekend so doing my refreshment serving stint later.

Shame on everyone responsible for this whole sorry, embarrassing debacleโ€ฆ
the grotesque, undeserving vanity on display and those who have gutlessly humoured that vanity, bowing and scraping before it with their fake gong.
A new low in the nadir that is this political era.

Remember folks - The British Media:

Invite into the DJ booth on holiday = Bad - what will the DJ want in return?

9 million quid "donation" = perfectly fine, nothing to see here....

Last year Sky News was rending its garments over Starmer's free eyeglasses: WHAT INFLUENCE DID LORD ALLI BUY?

Now, RefUK get ยฃ9m from a crypto bro, they have not one word about the donor's interests; just BRAVO NIGEL, barely concealed glee, and "what a huge boost... money goes where momentum is". ๐Ÿคก
