Absolute virtuoso speech by Tammy Duckworth, veteran who lost her legs in battle, at the imbecile Trump-chosen face-painted wally now in charge of a 1m strong US military establishment who you wouldn't want as a scoutmaster. Bam! Educational, should be shown in schools. #Duckworth #KnockOut #Hegseth

Nobody in the UK voted to be led by either the homicidal maniac Netanyahu or the demented gangster Trump, so there is no reason for Keir Starmer to follow their lead in anything whatsoever. Stay out of it. Surely we can't have another Labour betrayal and disastrous, pointless and inhumane US war!!!!

- Tell ye what I don't like now, that bloody group does be on the radio with their Stayin' Alive. - Hoh? What's wrong with them, aren't they mighty popular? - Well I'll not tolerate them now, I'd lambaste them out of it. - Sure aren't they harmless! - Harmless?! Takin' the name of the Lord in vain!

How to make a banner that displays correctly on Bluesky. What works for me, which I learned from another post way back, is this. Make a 1500 x 1500 pixels image. Bluesky will show the middle band 1500 x 367. Here's one of mine for you to use as a template, if you like. #HowTo #Banner #Graphic

Guilherme 11 and Luca eight "have spent most of their lives living in the UK with their mother, Ana Luiza Cabral Gouveia, a senior NHS nurse, and father Dr Hugo Barbosa, a senior lecturer in computer science at the University of Exeter." Guardian. What stupid new hell now? #HomeOffice #Jobsworths

The great "ally" that executes people for speaking their minds, and also beheads people every year for "sorcery". Welcome to the 21st century. Jonathan Swift should have lived to see this. We're in as much danger now in speaking out about anything as he was then.

Is Huckabee encouraging Trump to use a nuclear weapon against Iran? Is that why Trump gave the demented instruction for people to evacuate Tehran, a city with "a population of around 9.8 million in the city as of 2025, and 16.8 million in the metropolitan area" according to Wikipedia. #insanity #SOS

Inasmuch as the Trump admin has any consistent tactical approach to policy, I think they just get up in the morning and say to themselves, what’s the most evil, destructive, and stupid thing I could do today? Then they do it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

I took these photos in the street outside Cardiff station in 2005, having first asked permission and put a couple of quid in the hat. I told A.D. I would put them in my blog, then the Willesden Herald. Asked his name and the dog's. I love that "Fidget" never budged. A.D. Bickley and Fidget, Cardiff.

Today is the anniversary of Jo Cox's murder by a white supremacist eight years ago on her way to a surgery in Birstall in her constituency whose ethnic diversity she praised in her maiden speech to the Commons. She was a supporter of Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East.

Sunday's @indexoncensorship.org newsletter by @jemimahsteinfeld.bsky.social says that rubber bullets and plastic bullets being used against journalists and protesters alike, are real weapons and have caused serious injury in the past. They know about that in N. Ireland. mailchi.mp/indexoncenso...

It must be the hot sunny weather. People are making the trip to Saltburn.. where mermaids work in penny arcades, rude words appear in rock, and bums are banned! Why not take a trip? Visit the foetus museum or the nuclear power station. Just avoid the meltdown. renardpress.com/books/saltbu...
