UK. I enjoy cats, language, toleration, flowers, wine... Sceptical of religion and most things ending in -ism, and I dislike billionaires on principle. Appalled by the global rise in general nastiness. Uninvited DMs get you blocked.

I can no longer afford to visit the USA. Our annual travel insurance cost would be about ยฃ1700 for us both (old with health issues) for all the world except the US - or about ยฃ3000 if we incude it. America has, by at least an order of magnitude, the most expensive medicine in the world.

Report: U.S. added nearly $700 billion to national debt in four months - NewsBreak (The Center Square) โ€“ The U.S. government added $696 billion to the national debt over the past four months, borrowing $94 billion in the month of January

STEALING OUR MONEY!

tRumpstein ADDED $696 BILLION TO THE NATIONAL DEBT OVER THE PAST FOUR MONTHS ...

Borrowing $94 billion in January alone!!!

100% of Gross Domestic Product! The HIGHEST PERCENTAGE THE NATIONAL DEBT HAS EVER MADE UP OF GDP WAS 106%, and that was immediately following World War II

Jamie Raskin accuses DoJ of cover-up after viewing unredacted Epstein files Ranking member of House judiciary panel said โ€˜mysterious redactionsโ€™ in files obscured names of abusers

In the least shocking news ever, the DOJ illegally redacted Trump's name from manyEpstein files. [And of course that doesn't count the ones they just didn't release because they are about Trump]

This photo is similar for me to the Jimmy Saville one where everybody looked at it afterwards and went "how could we not have seen what he was?"

Sounds like a regulation Labour mandate to me. On balance, I'd rather they tried it; the country needs something to change.

Watch JD Vance Get Mercilessly Booed At Olympics As U.S. Athletes Denounce The Trump Administration Vice President J.D. Vance was mercilessly booed at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Italy on Friday night. As the vice president and ...

The jeers for Vance come as Italians have been protesting Trump sending ICE agents to the Olympics in Italy, which he said was necessary.

It was a pointless troll move by Trump to bully and piss off other countries.

This is why America is despised and ridiculed globally.

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country โ€” at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.

ICE is running a โ€œconveyor beltโ€ of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

I wonder what resource cost goes into every household washing stuff for recycling, compared to it all being washed at the recycling centre. If they can't wash food residues off, deploy a squad of slugs to do the job! But don't waste power and water home by home getting things fit to be shredded.
