It’s the final session of the day, which means it's time to introduce the keynote speaker. This year we are thrilled to welcome Nick Card from the Ness of Brodgar Trust, who will tell us about 20 years of discovery at the #NessofBrodgar in #Orkney #CALive25

Apparently Macron and Starmer are working on a joint peace plan for Ukraine I think they should involve our great North American ally.... Canada

Important to take the week as a whole. Statement from Dominic Grieve:

Tesla Stock $282 today.. oh dear what a pity how sad

It’s horrifying that it’s come to this, but as someone with a deep affinity for Europe I feel moved seeing that continent come together to try to save itself in the absence of any meaningful aid from the totalitarian regime that’s in the midst of taking over the United States through an illegal coup

The pro-Putin candidate for the Romanian presidency Calin Georgescu gave a Musk-style Nazi salute when he was released from the prosecutor’s office after questioning. Two points: this is an international fascist movement with the Trump-Putin axis at the heart. And the salute is now normalised.

Today's Bible quotation ◄ Matthew 24:5 ►

Libraries are vanishing – but Essex fought back. Now, they're evolving into vibrant community hubs for the 21st century. There have been 800 library closures nationally since 2010 – nearly a fifth of the total. In Essex, however, vigorous public campaigning stopped it. ❤️🙌

Kemi Badenoch’s speech in relation to Keir Starmer’s speech. Political point scoring, lies, aggressive rhetoric, threats and the Chagos Islands. Absolutely shameful. Thank god she isn’t PM and never will be at this grave time.

👍👍👍

For the US to side with Russia and North Korea to oppose a UN resolution condemning the illegal invasion of Ukraine defies all common sense and adds insult to the countless injuries suffered by the brave Ukrainian people. edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Do they think we have all drunk some sort of "forget everything since 2010" elixir? It is so blatant. ~AA

Dear BBC So much coverage of EX Labour MP Mike Amesbury yet so little mention of this....anyone would think your executive board was biased....🤔 news.sky.com/story/ex-ref...

Do @conservatives.bsky.social seriously not remember they were in power for 14 years during which they weakened the armed forces? As well as their Brexit giving Putin the green light to take Crimea & invade Ukraine. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The unionist press & those who voted for Brexit have many sins to answer for. Especially the lies that were told in the process. Scotland saw through the lies, Yet we have to suffer this because we are #BetterTogether ##AreYouYesYet

“Polite reminder. Trump & Brexit are not 2 different things. They are the same thing. Same companies. Same data. Same Facebook. Same Russians. Same Cambridge Analytica. Same Robert Mercer. Same Steve Bannon. Same Breitbart. Same Alexander Nix. Same Donald Trump. Same Nigel Farage.”

Absolutely

Badenoch didn’t demand Tory PMs increase Defence spending when she was in Govt👇🏼 Instead she let it shrink over 14 years to lower level than the previous Labour Govt.. But now all of a sudden, she wakes up, as an expert and can write a letter demanding Labour fix her mess Pathetic hypocrite❗️🙄

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.

Keir Starmer ... I'll keep this simple ... Give in to Trumputin Lose the next election www.amazon.co.uk/Rejoin-EU-Mr... #RejoinEU #labour #Brexit #Trumputin

Imagine someone like Elon Musk sending his email to UK workers. Our unions would immediately send him packing. There is power in a union. Join one✊

I’ve said it once before, but it bears repeating now…

The United States appears to be in violation of the Budapest Memorandum which disarmed Ukraine of nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees. The agreement signed by the US in 1994 specifically prohibits economic coercion against Ukraine.

For the US president’s cheerleaders, the whitewashing of the deaths of ten of thousands of Ukrainians is a small price to pay for sticking it to the wokerati. Stewart Lee on an era “busy eating its own brainstem”. His current show is brilliant too. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Got to give the daily star its due, these front pages and brilliant #TrumpCircus #TheDailyStar

At self checkout & lady next to be let out a scared gasp. Asked if she was ok & she said she'd lost her bag. I asked if it was her shoulder bag & she said yes. Pointed out it was actually over her shoulder. At that moment I felt more connected to her than any other human - EVER. Gave her a hug.

83% of Americans disapprove of King Donold’s pardoning his Jan. 6 goon squad, and now his poll numbers are falling faster than a gold-plated toilet in a hurricane. SMITE!

How can this man be in our Parliament. Surely so obviously supporting and sharing the stage with someone who has and/or is about to go on to do a Nazi salute is in breach of some sort of Parliamentary standards? Can he be reported and suspended? Can a recall petition then be held?

Deform voters whined about Starmer meeting world leaders - 'waste of time,' they said. Now Macron, Zelensky, and others turn to the UK for leadership. Meanwhile, Reform clowns sit there moaning, offering nothing but hot air. Useless, bitter relics screeching into the void. #ukpolitics

He nails it.

Hmmmmm he makes a good point.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

European movement chair, Mike Galsworthy said: “This is welcome news. We need to start pulling this country out of the no-growth quagmire of Brexit and start giving people hope for a better, brighter future.”

All I can say at this stage is… FINALLY! 💥

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

Resisting comes in all forms. Here is a very creative one starting to pop up.

Went to Metro for a big shop. Maple 🍁 leaf identification for Canadian products on every shelf now. Quite noticeable that US stuff is still on the shelves and not selling well. #Canpoli #cdnpoli

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is not a dictator. He is a champion of democracy, freedom and truth.

And just who is the rotten Sod responsible for this may I ask?
