We recently launched our campaign against faith schools, and we're almost at our fundraising target!

Donate today and help us:

● Shut down illegal faith schools

● End collective worship in state-funded schools

● Keep creationism OUT of classrooms.

And there's an important difference between 'anger' and 'hate'.

Sad to see Reform still doing so well.

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

We don't call it a 'Restroom'. Or a 'Bathroom'.
If you're in the UK it's a toilet.
We really, really don't want to keep becoming ever more American!

What's the 'Blenhem' bit Joe ? Is it a misspelling of Blenheim, or am I missing something ?

Nice; takes you there.
I always thought it was different 'from', not different 'to.

Beautiful photo.
Yesterday Mrs J made a crumble from apples, blackberries, plums and elderberries, all from the garden. Wonderful.

America fell on November 7, 2024, the day voters chose a criminal for president.

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

One of the main reasons the public won't step in and confront criminals is because don't believe the police will be on our side.
Even the slightest hint that 'we' might be charged will mean thousands of others will just step back and not get involved.

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

The image is a meme featuring a still from the 1964 film Zulu. In the foreground, two men in historical military uniforms are visible from the chest up, looking to the left of the frame with serious expressions. Both have dark hair and facial hair. The man on the left is wearing a red jacket with gold trim and a white strap across his chest. The man on the right, partially obscured, is wearing a similar red jacket, various medals, and a white pith helmet. In the background, there are other uniformed figures and what appears to be a defensive position, with mountains under a cloudy sky further in the distance.

Above the image, white text on a black background reads:
"Sergeant Major what's that noise. It's Nigel Farage talking shite again Sir"

I fully accept that Hamas are the terrorists.
But i just cannot understand why Starmer is supporting/condoning the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
We should be able to loudly condemn both !
