Keir Starmer redefining offensive as defensive. This is a slippery slope and risks letting Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East
Starmer must come to Parliament tomorrow, set out legal case in full and give MPs a vote
The UK must not be complicit in illegal military action

How about non-British and non-dom citizens donating to political parties and owning media?

Maybe they don't, but maybe others do. Lindsey Graham should be reminded of 1953 when the CIA toppled a democratically elected prime minister of Iran because he was a lefty and installed the Shah. Always interfering for their own interests. Oil. Power over the region. Etc.

SUZANNE MOORE Gender dysphoria is just a phase. Hilary Cass has proof

Suzanne Moore now needs to recycle the old “just a phase” trope used by homophobic bigots in the 20th Century.

And relying on the totally discredited Cass Review for this drivel is utter desperation.

Airfix ‘starter’ model kit of RNLI Shannon class lifeboat - unbuilt parts still on sprues spread out on a cutting mat.

I’ve not forgotten @dankaszeta.bsky.social raising nearly 11k for the RNLI on here. Today I start my spring project. More modest in ambition perhaps, but once built (if it looks ok) I wonder if I can donate the finished product back to an RNLI shop?

I’ve recently become the owner of a baby chainsaw (battery electric), I love it so much. All that overgrown stuff is coming down.

stop fucking about with hot cross buns, you monsters

You know what? Let’s not fact check the idiots who think Ayatollah Khameini, the Iranian supreme leader killed today, was the same guy as Ayatollah Khomeini, who led the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Let them believe he was 124 years old. In fact, persuade them he was kept alive as a head in a jar.

While we sit around to find out how bad exactly it all is, a bit of cheer: the best baguette of Paris competition was won by a Sri Lankan who appears to have started as a dish washer in restaurants and eventually trained as a Boulanger.

Gentle reminder that you don't have to fully boycott Amazon, just stop making it your default. Need socks? Lots of places sell socks. Need printer paper? Need rye flour? Many other options.

"This startup only sells through Amazon!"

Okay, buy that but don't buy the sneakers and coffee beans.

Enough with the Karen diss. It’s misogynistic and immensely irritating to those of us who have never had enough courage to complain to the manager.

Rereading my post, not meant as an endorsement at all. Theocracy is no way to govern a country.

I…somehow missed that one. bsky.app/profile/plan...

It's a Republican tradition.

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

@yrfatfriend.bsky.social @michaelhobbes.bsky.social please help I just stumbled onto kids sunblock that claims to block WiFi radiation???

Someone the other day was blaming the rise of radical Islam solely on Iran. Who paid for all the Wahabi madrassas across the Muslim world? Not Shia Iran.

"We can learn lessons from how we have won and run cities like London, which, contrary to what some believe, has the same mix of voters as the rest of the UK. We’ve shown that we can win when we put bold, progressive policies at the centre of our agenda, and not back down to vested interests."

What if the US and UK had let Mohammed Mossadegh do his thing as the elected Prime Minister of Iran in 1953? Imagine the amount of bloodshed that might have been avoided.

But then again, British Petroleum didn’t want to sit idly by and let a country nationalize its oil reserves. The horror.

It tells you something about the disorientating rate of change underway that nobody is particularly shocked that a head of state has been assassinated by other states, something which has *never happened* in the modern era. Which is illegal under US law. Shed no tears for Khamanei, but still.

Is it ok to laugh at people who left the "crime ridden streets" of London for the safety of Dubai?

Cogon grass infestation

They talk about illegals coming into the country like it's a big deal. I'll tell you what's a big deal. Asian plants. Shit like cogon grass is literally destroying this country. It's the 7th worst invasive plant on earth. And some states still allow it to be sold as ornamentals!

"You cannot bring democracy by aerial bombardment. The sort of regime change that includes no preparation before, no help during, and no plan for after, is basically just rolling a dice, hoping for sixes."

stepped outside for a vibe check and saw a beast fuckin hauling ass towards Bethlehem

Remember Obama negotiated a deal with Iran to prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon. trump got rid of that deal, failed to secure a new one and is now at war with Iran to prevent them from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
