It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.

This is not acceptable, Labour! Scotland has control over Crown Estate lands in Scotland but Wales doesn't have the same control. This needs to be corrected ASAP. Failure to do so will only increase the calls for Wales to become an independent country. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The stupidity of Donald Trump exposed. Congestion charging works in cities across the world, improving air quality and reducing lung-related ill health. As for his regal delusions, he may have gone too far for even many of his dimwit supporters. Civil war in the USA???

It’s like ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, no one dares say what is blindingly obvious. Well, Macron has paved the way. So Starmer can tell the world that the ‘king’ 😂 has got no clothes on. Let’s expose him.

They called Corbyn ‘dangerous’. They manufactured lies about him. They put everything into destroying him. Because they couldn’t have the leader of a country like Great Britain having views like this AND the drive to take action on them.

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing. Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law. If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

I am disgusted by the government’s relentless demonisation of disabled people. All so they can protect the wealthiest from paying their fair share. Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, let’s “crack down” on corporations and billionaires evading tax instead.

February's Repair Cafe was a busy one with 38 items in need of mending. Wonderful to see so many visitors and the range of objects brought in for repair, including a cat water fountain, a carpet cleaner, and a PlayStation. We enjoyed seeing the result of the makeover Mary carried out on Piggles!

Closer economic ties with the European Union will boost UK growth by up to 2.2%. Brexit has inflicted huge harm. Must rejoin EU. Better to build closer ties with the EU than bowing to the unhinged man in the White House. archive.ph/1lyUW
