Woke up this morning with this song in my head.
Sending it out to all Boomers who wish John and George were still with us...and who are deeply grateful to Paul and Ringo for keeping us connected to a better time and our best selves.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Orwell wrote: “In England all the boasting and flag-wagging... is done by a small minority. The patriotism of the common people is not vocal or even conscious.” Someone tell Reform, writes @arusbridger.bsky.social.

Nigel Farage has no idea how to be a prime minister

The Reform leader undoubtedly has charisma, but lacks the judgement, gravitas or respect for truth needed to lead a country

We can all agree that the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester was terrorism

So why is setting a Mosque alight just 'arson' and a 'hate crime' and also not terrorism?
