Trump is draping the White House in so much gold its becoming more difficult to know it from the Kremlin.

If Prince Andrew has been publicly disgraced & stripped of all his titles & roles due to involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, how did the American people elect Donald Trump as President considering his even closer relationship with Epstein?
Why won't Trump release all the files?

Prince Andrew giving up his royal titles and honours King Charles's brother has come under significant pressure after being linked to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and a suspected Chinese spy.

Support for citizens of Gaza is fine, but supporting Hamas is quite another.
Just saw the video of the Hamas public execution of Palestinians as the terrorist organisation reasserts itself in Gaza.
Trump trumpeting peace in the middle-east is sadly, far from close.

How much say does the gambling industry have inside our national parliament?
Considering political donations to all the major parties I'm not suprised.
All praise to @davidpocock.bsky.social for having the integrity to stand up to this insidious industry.

It's on YouTube.

Online bookmakers have kept millions in wagers placed with stolen money. Four Corners reporter Steve Cannane reveals how financial advisers courted with inducements, have gambled away their clients’ investments uninhibited by regulation or oversight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4MS...

Great story on ABC #4Corners now on how online gambling companies operate, the damage they do to the community & how they keep the major political parties in the pockets.

Remember when our gov'ts owned all our telecommunications & put quality of service & people's lives above profit?

First woman appointed leader of Church of England Sarah Mullally becomes the female leader of one of last areas of British public life to have been led by men.

Maybe a female Archbishop can deal more compassionately with survivors of clergy sexual abuse. Her male counterpart, Justin Welby resigned in November 2024 due to his poor handling of a child abuse scandal.

Nor I

With all the issues in the US not suprised accommodation is dropping (less visitors) and queues short. It's still a no for me.

🤣

Getting adverts to holiday in the US.
Should we go? 😳
1. ICE arresting anyone remotely suspect of being a non-citizen.
2. Groceries & cost of living spiralling.
3. Military policing major cities.
4. Spending bill blocked & gov't services halted.
5. Regular mass shootings.
6. I could go on ... but 🤔

We have some basic house rules, one being whoever uses the last of the toilet roll replaces it with a new roll. With a grandkids sleepover they really push it to the limit. One solitary paper square. 🤷 What can you do with just one square? Seriously! 😳

NACC Commissioner Brereton engaged in misconduct when he involved himself in proceedings to reject further investigation into a senior public servant in the robo-debt scandal, that person turned out to be an army reserve colleague, now we learn this. 😳
He has to go. 👉

Corruption writ large
