Good morning β˜€οΈ

Starting the day with this powerful Nelson Mandela quote:

β€œMay your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”

Isn’t that what it’s all about? The choices we have to make. And what moves us to make them.

Every time this kind of thing comes round it's because the people saying this are remembering being kids and of course the world seems better when someone else is worrying about taking care of you and you can spend most of your time just riding bikes.

The BBC's reporting is widely
viewed in the US, with the corporation positioning itself as an impartial alternative to partisan networks like Fox News.
The UK's right-wing GB News is winning friends in the White House and could be awarded reporting credentials after launching a new
Washington DC show.
One BBC News figure said: "This will have serious repercussions for the BBC's Washington team.
If Trump launches a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the BBC, as he has with US networks, that would be disastrous. Tim needs to give a grovelling apology personally to the President."

As ever, the loathsome Farage rubs his greedy little hands with glee as he hopes that GB’news’ will profit from the β€˜scandal’ he helped to whip up…
Honest to god… why do we have to be so kicked about by these ultra-cynical right wing hysterics?
