My Lords, for my maiden speech I would like to draw your lordship’s attention to the subject of bumming, jackzy entering, feathering the cornhole, reaming or to use a vernacular term anal penetration. As a well known inter licktual and school governor this subject is very close to my ‘heart’.

The harbour at Lochinver on the west coast of Sutherland in late evening light. If it had been a little clearer the Isle of Lewis would be just about visible on the horizon. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

The harbour at Lochinver on the west coast of Sutherland in late evening light. The image shows the harbour from above with the evening light reflecting off it. Silhouettes of houses are in the foreground, and of parts of the harbour on the left. The street lights are on. Dark shapes of islands can be seen out in the loch.

Wow. 🔥🔥🔥

This new bombshell Oxfam report is exactly what billionaires don’t want us to know:

Apparently 60% of global billionaire wealth comes not from entrepreneurship…

…but from inheritance, corruption, cronyism & monopolies.

Share the truth:

Tragically, Gaza is not the first genocide to be supported by a UK government.

And unless we change things, it won’t be the last.

Basically trump is going to allow Israel to claim the West Bank in return for "peace" in Gaza of course if there is any trouble in Gaza Israel has retained the right to continue it's genocide. It's all smoke & mirrors and within months it will start again and of course Israel will play victim

England's children's homes run by private equity rake in millions.

Private firms own 83% of homes.

Average charge for a child in care is £281,000 a year. Some charge £63,000 a week per child.

For-profit homes provide the worse care.

End privatisation scam.

Well, 10 days ago another “patriot” wrote an article titled “Have I got a deal for you, Donald... forget Greenland and buy Britain instead!” (and the comments are just as insane, to say the least):

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: Trump should forget Greenland... and buy Britain!

Donald Trump says he wants to buy Greenland. Elon Musk wants to buy Liverpool FC, according to his dad. But why stop there, chaps? Have I got a deal for you.

I just think the mail has become a parody of a paper, as for many of the readers so full of hate and anger, plus if anything ever happens to Harry or Meghan then it should be firmly placed at their door. The constant nasty articles and the hate generated is way over the top.

Amnesty refer to Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide. This follows Amos Goldberg, Prof of Holocaust History at Hebrew University, Jerusalem who said “'What is happening in Gaza is a genocide because Gaza does not exist anymore”. At very least the UK govt must demand an inquiry.
