Whatever you do, please don’t share this video, because it might upset the BBC, Nigel Farage & his fellow Brexiteers.

The Nobel Prize committee have a lot of questions to answer about giving the Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Corina Machado.

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

Didn’t know that. I thought Pakistan had nominated him then withdrew it.

What on earth has happened to journalism? When I think of all the great BBC correspondents of the past, I’d conclude that either the BBC etc. have a policy to recruit only right-wing numpties, or that the journalism schools/Unis have severely relaxed the standards of their intake. Or both?

If Donald Trump gets the Nobel Peace Prize the whole system needs to burn to the ground.

Every single bit of the corrupt, evil, nonsense.

A very worrying thing about these lunatics who are now in charge 🤦‍♀️ is that they don’t seem to give a toss about ratings, polling etc. They’re going to plough on with the nightmare that is their Project 25 regardless.

Reporter: Most Americans do not approve of the way Robert Kennedy Jr. is running the nation's health agencies and vaccine policy. 59% say they disapprove of the job he's been doing overall. Only 11% strongly approve

Absolutely no chance of it happening though. Labour, Reform, Tories will never countenance PR.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her.

RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.
