Rage, Rage against the dying of the light. Oppose all reactionary billionaires, racists, sexists, homophobes & all the benighted enemies of democracy, social justice & social progress. Religious camouflage is also no defence for undermining human rights.

A Royal Marine Commando Bn, 1st Bn Grenadier Guards, an RAF Eurofighter Sqn & HMS Queen Elizabeth would do nicely. I'm no monarchist but a lengthy Royal Visit (Princess Anne in her Admiral's Uniform?) would be fun too!

I'm deeply ashamed of the contemptible behaviour of our UK Government over the US threats against Canada. After Starmer met Trump he should have flown straight on to Canada to make a Joint Statement and arrange a British military presence there.

For Bezos "Personal Liberty" is simply the freedom of Billionaires like him to ignore social responsibility.
It does not mean defending the personal rights & equal opportunities of women, ethnic minorities and LGBT people against the Republican enemies of social justice. It should!

A thought experiment!
If the US applied to join the EU, surely it would be rejected on Rule of Law grounds.
Supreme Court politically appointed & manipulated by governing Party.
Federal Judges & Prosecutors purged for political reasons.
Courts used to persecute people by Oligarchs.
Need I go on?

In 10 years we have gone from David Cameron protecting the aid budget to the Conservatives slashing it & now Keir Starmer cutting it further
In an insecure world, this government’s decision is callous & reckless
We can and must fund aid & defence- both are critical for security

"Taking money from the poorest in the name of defence is both cruel and unnecessary. It’s a choice and it’s the wrong one."
@elliechowns.bsky.social reacts to Keir Starmer's shocking decision to gut our international aid budget to increase defence spending.

If Brexit had never happened…
…we’d be much wealthier, with more investment in public services, better trade - and with our parliament & govt having spent the last decade doing far more productive things.

In 1898 it was a school. Near Greenwich Park. Given the size of the frontage, the separate entrances for boys and girls & infants was, is and forever will be utterly ridiculous.
