Classic from the Daily Star.

Victim blaming now a feature of US foreign policy once more, it seems. #usa #ukraine #trump #appeasement

A small, but significant step was taken on the long journey to address the scourge of knife crime amongst young people in England. www.gov.uk/government/n... #knifecrime #england #ronanslaw #RonanKanda

Seems appropriate. #america #trump #usa #greenday youtu.be/Ee_uujKuJMI?...

Happy Birthday Charles Darwin, geologist, naturalist, explorer and scientist. Soon to be cancelled and removed from school libraries across the USA en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles... #charlesdarwin #evolutionarybiology #evolution

Loving Hadrian's Wall in winter. #northumbria #hadrianswall #magicalsunset

Not a single person has been put on trial for killing 72 people at Grenfell. But they can lock up non-violent Just Stop Oil protestors for more than 60 years, because they are a 'danger'.

Hmmm Gaz-al-Largo. #trump #palestine #gaza

This is important. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Meanwhile, away from the debates and controversies dominating the headlines, significant numbers of children in the UK are living in poverty. In Middlesbrough this equates to 43% going without. Shocking and here we are waiting for Labour to do something positive. #poverty #UK #Labour zurl.co/5Yt8H

Definitely the cutest thing I've witnessed today

Many in Europe and the US accepted antisemitism before and during the Nazi's reign. This documentary I watched last year brought that into sharp focus for me. www.pbs.org/kenburns/us-...

80 years on and we've apparently learned nothing. 😢 #holocaustmemorialday

Old school.

Independent Venue Week starts tomorrow. It's so important to support your local music venue if you love music. I'm a proud trustee of one of the 4 in my home town, Stockton. It's been around for 150 years! Check it out here. independentvenueweek.com/uk/venues-uk...

Gone from Sir Paul lauding the creative sector & the importance it plays in the UK economy to Kemi blaming people for living their own cultures as a part of a multicultural society for radicalisation. No evidence of this, as underlined by Laura Kuenssberg. Irony achieved. #laurakuenssberg

Worrying trend on Spotify - 'virtual artists'. www.linkedin.com/posts/martin...

Stockton-on-Tees has seen some pretty dire times in recent decades. We saw similar times back in the 1930s and the fascists thought we'd be an ideal recruiting ground for their Blackshirts. The response is nothing short of astounding.

Just finished A City on Mars - wanted to say thanks for a thoroughly entertaining and informative read! My historian brain understood the science, which is an achievement (although I did get a B in O Level Chemistry 43 years ago, which helped). @zachweinersmith.bsky.social @weinersmith.bsky.social

Hot off the press, January 2026. Trump appointee for new Head of Homeland Security announced this morning. TNN quoted that in his first address as Overgruppenfuhrer, John Smith stated: "Emotions can't be allowed to interfere with what is right".

I get the impression that, although the perpetrators of the three attempted coups against the British Govt. during the war may be dead and gone, their descendents sit in the House of Lords and other arms of the modern state. That would, in part explain the otherwise illogical censorship.
