When the person negotiating a peace agreement between you and your enemy is the ally of your enemy.

Ukraine, Corruption!
Of course there's no corruption in the Russian administration under Putin, & no corruption in the US administration under Trump. We should be grateful for that & place condemnation where it belongs.

It's the media's duty to clarify: Asylum Seekers taking taxis for medical appointments were following government-contracted providers' rules. For necessary travel beyond the weekly bus pass, taxis were the approved method for medical journeys.
Immigrants were obeying the rules, not taking advantage.

Once upon a time
It was the same as it is
Only it wasn't once upon a time
It's been so many times
As it is
And will be again
Time after time
Once upon a time
Endlessly
Hopefully
Once upon a time
Time after time
Trying to make it better

Once upon a time

Religions of Peace
Interesting that the Israel / Gaza war (a continuation of the war that started in 1948) is not referred to as a "Holy War", another in a long line of Holy Wars conveniently (for believers) not described as such.

Wetherspoon uses Ireland to skirt Brexit red tape for EU expansion UK pub and hotel group JD Wetherspoon – whose founder campaigned for the UK to leave the EU – is using Ireland as a springboard for its expansion into mainland Europe to avoid Brexit-­induced red tape...

Wetherspoon & Dyson, 2 of many (should have done some research) leading "leavers" who helped persuade millions to Brexit the EU & then grew to experience & recognise the ill-considered, self-harming realities of Brexit as the EU took its border back.

I'm pleased (and relieved) to find that I'm still eager to learn.

"Sex" & "Gender" are not 2 words for the same thing. Look it up.
"Sovereignty" & "Independence" are not 2 words for the same thing. Look it up.
Without shared definitions dialogue is impossible & all we get is parallel monologues, misunderstanding & conflict

Whether it's an audience of one or of ten million, art is completed individually by each individual member of the audience.
It isn't just a matter of, "What does art do?". It is also a matter of, "What do *you* do with art?".

After listening to Trump since 2016 and occasionally reading his posts, one thing is clear: English is not his first language.

Impartial? Even indifference is not impartial.

One might be tempted to conclude that as far as the UK "tabloids" and many royalists are concerned, marrying black is a crime and a worse crime than raping under age girls.

In A Nutshell
#usa #america #Trump #MAGA #Republicans #democracy #freedom #kindness #justice

When money's tight, half the world takes three paces to the right. It always, always, always ends badly. History matters (which is why we should be aware of it ("woke") and why Trump and Co are re-whiteing and rewriting it) and crucially, whoever you voted for, austerity *never* starts at the top.

The arrogance of “It can’t happen here” when so much of it has already happened. Be woke (be aware) before it’s too late to be other than powerless under Trump2028.
“After four years you won’t have to vote anymore.”
… Donald J. Trump

Trump wants to be accepted as having "The Divine Right of Kings": the religious political doctrine that asserts a monarch's authority comes directly from God, making them answerable only to God and not to earthly authorities like the Senate, the Constitution, parliament or the law.
#USA #NoKings

We are watching Trump vandalising & likely irrevocably damaging the #USA. If people want democracy, if people want laws that are just, if people want freedom from tyranny, Trump must not be allowed to take America, as Putin must not be allowed to take Ukraine.
#America #democracy #freedom #justice

To the Statue of Liberty & the American people Trump say's "I'm screwing you & your children & there's nothing you can do about it!". The swamp drained is now filled with raw sewage. "The law protects the rich but does not bind them. The law binds the poor but does not protect them". #NoKings!

DEI - Diversity (different talents) - Equity (fairness) - Inclusion (better together).
UIE - Uniformity (everyone the same) - Inequity (unfairness) - Exclusion (loyalty only to Trump).

Hubris led to complacency. Complacency led to Trump. Now we'll see if the courage of the people will wake in time and be tough enough.

One thing to be said about Donald Trump: He makes Boris Johnson and Liz Truss look like great leaders. On the other hand he makes Mr Bean look like a great leader.
