There are two Russian flags in this official Department of Defense post

No-one takes the decision to flee their home from persecution, with little more than the clothes on their back, unless their life depends on it. That’s why our approach to refugees must be rooted in compassion, empathy and humanity. Not division, prejudice or scaremongering.

Donald Trump is 79 today. No idea what that is in human years.

Bugs Bunny taught me my choices aren’t limited to fight or flight; I can also pretend I’m a pretty lady.

We still over-think his motivation/game plan. He’s filling his boots, even if it impoverishes his own base. That’s all there is. That’s all there ever was. (Great piece.) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

If, like most sensible people, you’d prefer to avoid Clacton MP Nigel Farage, the best places to be sure you don’t run into him are Clacton and the House of Commons.

I just signed this important petition on Organise, please can you add your name? Marks and Spencer: Pay ALL your staff the real living wage! organise.network/s/e3209e87628d

If you’re English and check back far enough, you’ll find you are descended from immigrants. Think on, racists.

A new and glorious first for British football: as well as selling up, the owner of a club is subject to a Charity Commission inquiry.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

Can someone explain to me why the fossil fuel lobby groups are spaffing £$€¥ billions on right wing extremists but they never donate anything to environment activist groups just so they can ‘virtue signal’ and lie to us how much they care. Oh wait. They don’t care. Sorry, I forgot.

Today I noticed the BBC Sport app has Liverpool v Tottenham in the Premier League but v Spurs in the Women's Super League and it reminded me of destination board on the Northern Line at Edgware where trains from plat 1 go to Morden via Charing X but from plat 3 go to Morden via Charing Cross.

I’m sitting in a London pub wearing running gear and a tinfoil cape while strangers buy me beer. Works every year. 😉🍻

Donald Trump reminds me of that terrible president America had 4 years ago.

It was typical of Pope Francis’s sly sense of mischief that there should be a clown at his funeral. The hilarious spectacle of a clueless buffoon with an orange face, yellow hair and a blue suit was a timely reminder of the pontiff’s essential humanity.

Everyone can relate to the Easter story because we've all had those weekends when you're half dead and want to hide in a cave.

Make Easter easier by swapping the t for an i. @twoptwips.bsky.social

@arfursmith.bsky.social Congratulations to Balham for their 4-0 win over Sheerwater today and avoiding relegation!

I think we haven't properly reckoned with the extent to which US dark money will now step up its activities in the UK. They aren't content merely to destroy liberal democracy in the US; until we take firm action, they will work tirelessly to undermine our society. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

As a routine part of Trump's physical examination the doctor snaps on a rubber glove, applies lube, and probes Trump's rectum to check for brain damage.

Fantastic sign.

Did you know that Wes Streeting has removed a ‘cost cap’ from private companies delivering NHS care- therefore giving them special treatment over publicly-owned NHS services?🚨 Imagine if publicly-owned NHS services had an unlimited budget to treat patients! www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

“You boy! How’s the orange moron fucked up the world today?”

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.

Well that’s nice. I wonder if the people Smyth abused have forgiven Welby who helped to cover it up.

On Sunday April 20, I will open for Dave Renegade at the Little Green Dragon micropub in Winchmore Hill. #LiveMusic

Don’t become the victim of a phone scammer. It’s easy to fall for a hoax, and in a shocking recent case the president of the United States was duped by a Russian phone scammer named Putin who persuaded him to part with power, sovereignty, and the last remaining shreds of American integrity. Tragic.
