Can we have this state visit from the Mango Mussolini. Not without protests wherever he crawls out into public view.

Zelensky finds his principles are inconvenient for Trump. Starmer looks like the office boy. Trump cannot handle integrity

I don't care what others do, I'm not marking my posts like this. If people can't discern sarcasm, I'd rather they not follow me. It's a useful filter. From London, England.

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...

In the current circumstances this is a gosh comment. Yes, the truth should be found but this POV is idiotic in the present context.

It has been like this for YEARS! Well said Will Greenwood. Except for the soya latte - that is just bollocks! www.facebook.com/share/r/15kh...

Thou draw not on thy danger and dishonor; For though usurpers sway the rule a while, Yet heav’ns are just, and time suppresseth wrongs.

A bit of input from Al Jazeera aje.io/7n1uhw

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

As well as the blatant lies told by Trump, it is galling that a bone-spur draft-dodger lectures a man who has set himself against a powerful invader and not flinched.

Putain Putin AND Putain Trump! I'm with Zelensky 🇺🇦

We can all have gentle contemplation. Thanks to an old classmate ......... open.substack.com/pub/ionr/p/p...

The Likely Lads such a classic that, imo, stands the test of time. Or was it just the effect that Thelma (Brigit Forsyth) dressed as a Christmas Elf had on the hormones of a 14 / 15 year old boy? I now know the exceptional talent she displayed as the highly accomplished "straight woman" actor.

That is a very short amount of time, but USA PLEASE find something more compelling than the sad / limping Biden / Harris type option. Where are the unifiers, the statesmen/states women? Not my fight being a Brit! ☮️&❤️ baby!

🤯 WHAT AN ENDING!!!

Military historian Sir Antony Beevor on Times Radio on Trump-Putin: "We should always distrust historical parallels, especially those from WW2...but there is a really very frightening echo of the betrayal of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and the idea that one can deal over the heads of a suffering nation"

Not a laughing matter?

Worth thinking about? I find it disturbing that several friends,prominent in their field,university profs, experience similar external pressure for expressing challenging views with regard to not toeing the line on other current narratives. So this article is unsurprising unherd.com/newsroom/bri...

James Reabanks (a fellow Cumbrian) is well worth a minute of your time. A pox on all the power, money, ideology games here and abroad. unherd.com/2025/02/labo...

Ay me! I see the ruin of my house: The tiger now hath seiz’d the gentle hind; Insulting tyranny begins to jut Upon the innocent and aweless throne.

Some things stand the test of time. Even from the 80s. Perhaps it's worth thinking about at least as much today. youtu.be/dCrnmya0xFw?...

Dogged defence on the final day of the 1st England v NZ Test at Lord's, July 28th 1969. Derek Underwood took 7 for 32 in the second innings - 11 for 70 in the match - as NZ went down to a 230-run loss. Not a helmet or sponsor's logo ... or even a advertisement ... in sight #cricket

Ah, gracious lord, these days are dangerous: Virtue is chok’d with foul ambition, And charity chas’d hence by rancor’s hand; Foul subornation is predominant, And equity exil’d your Highness’ land.

The much missed Bob Willis holding a replica of the cover of Bob Dylan's 1966 classic album Blonde On Blonde. He added “Dylan” to his name as a tribute. "Dylan hit me like a sledgehammer," he said. "Everything went out the window ... girls, booze and homework"

And yet I fear you; for you’re fatal then When your eyes roll so.

I loved the film, despite all this: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
