Felon trump is trying to claim the insurrection act and declare martial law so he can take over our country and cancel ALL FUTURE VOTING. Stay peaceful everyone. Protest but stay calm. We will beat this felon and his corrupt gangster administration

Unfortunately, the US (or #Trump ) has another agenda and it has nothing to do with helping Ukraine.

Quite a percentage given that Farage had appeared on BBC Question Time more often than any other politician!
If that isn't biased then what is?

I don't think that Greta Thunberg is intending to throw Molotov cocktails at anyone!
She is making a peaceful protest and bringing some aid to the Gazan people (although the flotilla can't be carrying that much).

I am not sure that voters were alienated (this playbook was also used for Brexit) as I think it more that people wanted to believe that things would get better for them personally and that is what both Trump and Farage promised.
A better richer future with fewer immigrants so more higher paid jobs.

Roughly 55,000 Palestinians killed by Israel since the Hamas attack on Israel on 7th October, 2023 where they murdered about 1200 innocent people.
The killing continues with weapons supplied by western powers.
Dawn French may have spoken out of turn but surely this genocide has to stop.

The problem is that everyone wants a good wage, lower shopping bills, lower energy costs, early retirement (if they work), good benefits (if they don't or can't work), cheap nationalised transport, a good free health system and lower taxes (the list is probably longer).
What is the solution?

Retribution?
He is the one who invaded Ukraine.
He is the one that targets civilians and kills innocent people whereas Ukraine's targets were military.
There is one rule for Russia and another for Ukraine.
What would he do if bombs dropped on Moscow?

According to official figures, the UK has the 5th largest global defence budget.
Unfortunately, a budget is only as good as the value of the goods and services it procures and overspending on unnecessary projects is simply wasteful.

Nobody did but neither did we expect Russia to attack Ukraine and threaten peace in Europe.

Greta Thunberg is on said ship— and it is heading for Gaza.

Should we really care?

I am sure they they do.
Although many of us fear right wing politics and their politicians, those same politicians are in power because the current system is not working!
Change is needed and we have to be certain that the change is for good and not simply popularist.

This is terrible!
The world watches and says very little.

Every detail emerging of the Ukrainian attack is jaw-dropping.
These images released by Ukraine show how the attack drones were hidden in a secret compartment in the top of shipping containers.
Presumably allowing them to be transported without detection.
Russia imported their own destruction.

This must be one of the most remarkable military attacks ever executed.
Ukraine has devastated Russia’s long-range air capability.
They’ve hit 4 air bases and a major port simultaneously; targets stretched from the Arctic Circle to the Mongolian border, 1000s of kms apart.

I expect that lawyers and their staff will make a lot of money and the result will be that "mistakes were made and we should learn from them".
Nobody will face any criminal charges and life will move on.
Politicians cannot be held responsible and will continue to do what suits their agenda.

On estime que 35% de la population française fume, c'est supérieur à la moyenne européenne (25%) et mondiale (21%).
On estime qu'environ 75000 personnes meurent chaque année en France de complications liées au tabac.
62% Français sont favorables à l'interdiction de fumer dans les lieux publics

Cela va évidemment vous surprendre, car vous semblez ignorer que le tabagisme peut provoquer un cancer qui conduit à une mort horrible.
Pourquoi devrais-je, ou qui que ce soit d'autre, accepter les fumées de fumeurs égoïstes alors que c'est malsain et complètement inutile ?
Réveillez-vous, France!
