Barbarism. Pure and undiluted. Europe cannot remain silence and pretend this falls within the “shared values”. If any other country did this, the EU would issue a public condemnation.

How much does it take for people to accept that the US has become a brutal fascist dictatorship?

I still sometimes have nauseating flashbacks to the fictional TV execution at the start of the Mayor of Kingstown that I watched three years ago. Hard to imagine how horrific this will be. Utterly barbaric. Especially after what happened earlier this week. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Hear me out - the Orange Order parade to be allowed but only if they do it inside Zorb balls, numbered so that bets can be placed on which of the 35 brethren finishes the course quickest.

If the men arrested near RAF Fairford, now on police bail, turn out to have been stealing diesel then Trump is going to look a bit silly saying that “We had them under view for a long time, and we got them.”

My job involves helping people with all sorts of problems. Just at the local level I'm seeing a rapist out on bail for years, harassing his victim, attacking others, still on bail. A DV offender out of prison, harassing the victim and nothing done by the police. There are more and its exhausting.

But I need to smile more.

I've a Royal Mail "Tracked" parcel due to be delivered 11 am to 3:10 pm. Royal Mail website still says this 1.5 hours after it was due. This is pretty normal. I don't know if it isn't coming or got delivered to the wrong address. I think they need to stop calling it "tracked" delivery.

You can see from the photo that boat's tipped too far right

Ian Fraser@ianfraser.bsky.social

A boat purchased by far-right activist Daniel Thomas (aka “Danny Tommo”) to interfere with Border Force operations in the English Channel has sunk.

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £354m a year tax free from the tax payer including £132m personal spending money and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. Like if he needs a pay cut. RT if you want the Monarchy gone. #NotmyKing

Just want to point out if people had been beaten up at the Green or SNP party conference and their leader had cheered it on. It wouldn't just have been on TV, it would have been on TV non-stop until the election. But for Reform, it barely got mentioned.

Does anyone in the UK really believe that masked thugs dressed in black blockading roads and ports AREN'T terrorists. But old grandma's holding signs are?

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

I saw this on Facebook. Much praise to the boy, and to his parents for raising him right. But it makes it very clear that kids notice this behaviour and if not taught that it is wrong, girls can become victims and boys perpetrators.

Whilst the ethos of learning from mistakes is a good one, it is important that organizations don't use it as the primary training strategy. How hard is it to assess skills and knowledge and put together the necessary training and procedures?

£324,233 the average amount Councils have to pay for every one of the more than 50,000 children in private care. £80,000 the amount of profit they take per child which is never spent on anything. This con is one of the reasons Council have no money.

I'm not up with the processes of Congress, but can the Dems propose a bill that if someone is brain dead, they can not hold office, and if someone is in a coma for more than a week, someone has to be appointed to stand in for them. Then just see how the Republicans react.

The English Lake District has a problem with blue algae. Does anyone know how I can get in touch with Trump's pool guy? I'm thinking I could solve two problems and make some cash.

Can we repeat so everyone can hear even the everything bad is Communism US idiots at the back of the room. When all companies are taken over by the State to provide for everyone, that IS Communism. When Donald Trump takes them over to make money for him, that IS Fascism.

I've been away from the internet for a 6 hours. Any other politicians died, comatose, in suspended animation, abducted by aliens etc. ? I mean, I'm not that bothered, it's not like I have a wish list or anything.

Tesco could pay every worker an extra £10,000 and still make a profit. British Gas could pay every worker an extra £35,000 and still make a profit. Shell could pay every worker an extra £300,000 and still make a profit. It is the billionaires who are ripping you off.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

It appears that a lot of my political contacts suddenly got interested in football. Still, if a bunch of Belgians kicking a ball around can upset Trump, then that is one little victory for the world. Is Trump going to try and raise tariffs for Belgian products?

Andy Burnham looks like he might cancel the NHS England contract with Palantir, they also have one worth 2.5x as much with the MoD. RT if you want them both out of the UK.

Despite being in the UK, this morning I've had 4 articles on my facebook feed stating that the Reflecting Pool's lined was cut. These aren't shares from friends, this is what facebook is pushing.
