An illegal war by USA & Israel, propped up by missions from UK air bases.

Supported by Nigel Farage.

Over 1000 civilians dead & now the threat of global economic fallout. Trump's disaster makes us all less safe, less secure - and we will remember those who backed it.

This is a very short sighted view. Glad I let my membership lapse. Subsidising polluters whilst I get rinsed doing the right thing and taking public transport.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"Tax exiles like Isabel Oakeshott and washed up old footballers who mock ordinary people who stay in the UK and pay our taxes... As we protect them, it's only right for tax exiles to start paying taxes to fund our armed forces, just like the rest of us".

Israeli soldiers shot a Palestinian boy and stood around as he bled to death, video shows Israeli forces blocked Palestinian ambulances while a 14-year-old lay bleeding for at least 45 minutes.

They shot a 14 year old child.

Then blocked the ambulance reaching him.

Then laughed as they watched him die.

This is what the IOF does every day - murder children with impunity and laugh as they do it.

I am convinced the replacement for the summer is lined up but is currently in a job. Hence we are trying to keep Glasner to take us to the summer. Also I guess the board think that Glasner has the tools to win the conference league. But I think Glasner needs to go/wants to go and we need to β€˜Twist’

Very poor customer experience. All down to technology decisions made by the ticket seller. I got to the front of the queue quite swiftly only to be shown β€˜access restricted’. Turning off all my trackers and protections, using an alt browser and a5 hour wait later I did get tickets. Very poor #rwc

A handwritten notice in a plastic wallet, stapled to the outside of a bike shed:

"Bike Racks Closed From Tuesday 17th Feb Til January 2027"

When the hospital estates team need to close a section of carpark for a weekend, we get multiple all-staff emails informing and reminding us.

When they close a busy secure bike shed with capacity for 100 bikes, that's frequently full, we get this the day before:

'Noisy' e-bike rider chased by angry man with pogo stick who then mowed him down Grimsby Crown Court was told the rider's injuries were so bad 'it took three teams at hospital to put him back together'

This is a unremittingly grim tale.
Frankly it should have been an attempted murder charge.
Not even 4 years for almost killing someone in a rage using a vehicle.
The Pogo stick was ordered to be destroyed. Why not the car too which was the actual weapon?

Eye watering? Β£15 pound a month for world class drama, documentaries, light entertainment, brilliant radio, i-player. Yes - BBC news isn’t what it used to be and there are journos paid too much. Just turn it off and enjoy the rest. My grumble would be Music programming has declined badly.

Sheesh! Who would have thought that known liar and twice disgraced former politician Peter Mandelson would lie when asked about his relationship with Epstein. Starmer - you’re a pathetic joke of a leader devoid of moral compass. Resign Now.

Officially, Boris Johnson was brought down by Chris Pincher. In reality, it was PartyGate and utter moral failure of his project.

Officially Keir Starmer will be brought down by Mandelson. But he'd survive this easily if his project hadn't been so piss-weak, disappointing, and morally spineless.

➑️ UNRWA’s humanitarian supplies remain stuck in warehouses in Egypt and Jordan, banned from entering #Gaza since March 2025.

πŸ“¦ Life-saving aid is ready to move. There is no time to lose.

UNRWA teams have never stopped providing essential support on the ground. Let us do more.

Haaretz reports that only 12 Palestinians (9 women and 3 children) were allowed to cross from Egypt to Gaza yesterday.
They were taken by the pro-Israel Palestinian militia for interrogation by Israeli officials, and their luggage was mostly confiscated.
38 Palestinians were turned back to Egypt.

To be really honest, I think both sides at various points could feel hard done by. It wasn’t a good performance by the ref at all.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.

How far we have not come in 250 years.
