The whole political order is tainted on both sides of the Atlantic. The Greens and @zackpolanski.bsky.social are our only hope of a fresh start.

Shame on you, Starmer, Cooper and Lammy. You lost my vote.

Police warn of mass arrests if Palestine Action protest goes ahead Hundreds could join weekend rally in support of proscribed group as 300 UK Jewish figures urge PM to lift ban

Just stop it at once. Labour, you've already lost my vote and this will make it worse. Shame on you, Yvette Cooper. Apart from anything else, what a massive waste of our taxpayers' money. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

To think I once respected this person.

Moved her to a plush 'prison' - what more proof do you need?

It is! Uplifting.

An uplifting reminder of the USA we love.

And, as Kamala Harris put it, with such ready capitulation from all sorts of organisations. The college/university caving is atrocious. And it looks as if the USA has got what it deserved, decades in the making. Change or die!

I don't, of course, but it does seem as if hell is empty and all the devils are here.

The Antichrist's cohorts.

This always very bad man.

Fuck it, she shouldn't be on there, reach or not. It's always at the monster's whim.

Stupidity and smugness so obvious from that face.

I just don't understand how Ticciati let that one back. The production dishonours the drama and the score. So wasn't going to return to see an opera I love.

Tired of the US side here (even having blocked the word 'Trump'). Only the usual memes, no further suggestions for action. Got what you deserve, I'm afraid - you're well and truly stuck.

It's The Times, what do you expect? Anyway, the more that shut down, the better.

She's awful in her presentation. Hopeless. And, as you say, wrong.

Bell tower of St Georgi from the terrace of the concert hall (19th century cultural centre beautifully restored) during the interval of the last evening concert. You may well imagine Kovachevitsa is not a place I (or the musicians) want to leave.

What next election?

Right on all counts,

More birds and bathing around Dublin Bay Proud to say that for the first time I've completed year-round bathing from the Forty-Foot, Sandycove, Seapoint and Coliemore Harbour, most ...

Have yet to try the Vico. Ticked off four others. Dublin Bay is an extraordinary phenomenon, a gift to swimmers and birdwatchers. Currently suffering from jellyfish, and storms tend to make the water polluted, but only briefly. This is my latest reflection on the last nine months.

Bathing from the steps by it, wonderful. And I pass his plaqued house on the way from Sandycove/Forty Foot to post-swim coffee.

And probably rightful.

Look at them. Ugly fanatics,

Heartbreaking to see this wise woman who chooses her words so carefully having to say that.

Just before the walk, 7am.

Yuk.

This morning - daily ascents to St George's Chapel at 7am during festival time. A very worthwhile view.
