I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

A very poor ruling, the fact that reform ltd have played the exact same game previously really needed to be brought into consideration

I remember seeing him in a stage play as Winnie The Pooh back in about 1973, with my auntie in Cardiff and a few days later on the train back home.
I have to admit to being quite ambivalent, both then & now
Didnβt know he was still doing anything, if truth be told

A great shame. The BBC again shows how it is happy to pander to the Far Right leanings of the few in their constant promotion of those views & appeasement of their overtly vocal leaders

Still nothing about the house ownership & cash though.
It must be really bad if being a Russian Asset & committing Election Fraud are his preferred distractions

If you blow up every building.
Destroy every hospital.
Raze every school.
Bomb every Water Treatment plant.
Shoot every doctor.
Assassinate every journalist.
Machine gun small children.
It's a Genocide.

I do have vague memories of that trip π€£
Had a few visits to Coniston over the years and spent far too much time in a couple of rather nice pubs there. Black Bull & The Crown. The Sun has beautiful views too
