Middle East ceasefire, China spy case collapse, Celia Imrie farting.

This might be the most iconic week of the 2020’s.

The UK government telling people they shouldn’t protest about Palestine is deeply offensive and plays into the gradual chilling of democratic rights in the country.

#BBCQT β€˜illegal, illegal, illegal’ on BBC. Bruce does nothing to clarify that asylum seekers are not illegal.

Morgan on the β€˜great quality of life of asylum seekers in hotels’. Really? Many in one room, no privacy, awful food, almost no money. It’s not like a bloody holiday.

Russell looks very cute here. In fact, I think he’s preparing to sneeze on me. This happens a lot, sometimes with blood from his awful gums. Hopefully, with the teeth out that will improve and I’ll only get covered in snot! I love him so much. I must do. πŸ™‚

I took Russell in a few months back after spotting him in my neighbourhood. He has FIV and a very rotting mouth but he’s very cute and loveable. I just can’t really afford a cat!

Russell update: tormorrow he has all his teeth out!

The PDSA consider him to be my free pet but they’ve just sent me a text recommending a Β£150 donation. I don’t have those funds.

If anyone can help out please bung me a few quid via my PayPal link - PayPal.me/jonbigger

Thanks in advance!

The government is boasting that they’re sending migrants back to France. The very people this policy is aimed to please think it won’t work, that it isn’t enough and that it’s fake news.

You can’t satisfy the far right. You shouldn’t try.

I’ve been pretty quiet on here recently. It’s partly because I’m just numb about the state of the world and the UK. Trumpism is crossing the pond with ease. Labour’s turn to the right and focus on Farage have helped it. We’re in serious trouble.

And people should be able to go where they like. This obsession with small boats is very odd.

So Farage said yesterday he’d stop the boats within 2 weeks of a Reform UK government. He’s now admitting the legislation could take months.

It’s almost like he’ll say anything for power.

Christopher H Bidmead : a warm, engaging and hugely intelligent man who enjoyed putting the cat among the pigeons on interviews. In real life though, he was approachable and kind: and made the nicest coffee I’ve ever had. Here is is at home in Dec 2013 when he kindly asked me round.
RIP Chris x

I’m totally at ease with the idea that The Doctor is half human but I refuse to accept the character’s name is Doctor Who - The Movie. It’s a step too far.

Armed police threatened to arrest Kent protester for holding Palestinian flag Officers accused Laura Murton who also had a sign saying β€˜Free Gaza’ of supporting a proscribed organisation

This is abominable and everyone involved in the series of events which led to it, from the Home Office to the police, should be ashamed of themselves.

1. Yesterday, 86 people were arrested in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000 for holding signs saying "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action."
They are the opposite of terrorists. They were protesting *against* terrorism. 🧡

So the court case has failed. The political and judicial classes' position on Palestine Action show clearly that liberal democracy in Britain is collapsing. This came from the supposed left party relying on being "better" than the Tories & Reform. When the latter are in power they will have, >

Right-wing "free speech campaigners" and conspiracy theorists "fighting State tyranny" when the government legislates to ban a non-violent direct action group and outright censor saying anything positive about them:
