Whistles should be banned instead of masked murdering out-of-control, lawless Proud Boy thugs with assault weapons, tear gas, arrested development, and anger issues.

Fascist Fox News and its alumni trash are destroying our democracy.

Same 💩 different 🪣

The defection of the architects of the disastrous @conservatives.bsky.social Govts 2010-2014 that were so damaging to the Nation demonstrates two things:

1. @reformuk.bsky.social (and predecessor UKIP) is where they actually belonged all along.

#Trump 's and #Maga 's false narrative on #NATO and Europe——

Historically the US-militarisation of Europe has NOT been about subsidising European defence!

It has been entirely out of self-interest, and the furtherance of the Truman Doctrine (1947) to contain the spread of Russian influence.

If that's what they're willing to do in public, while being filmed, what do they do behind closed doors?

I always think the Stephen Miller is the most loathsome person in the Tump administration. And then Pamela Jo Bondi says something and I’m sure it’s her. And then Kristi Noem says something and I’m sure it’s her. Until Pete Hegseth opens his stupid mouth again. Until Donald tweets about himself.

@bbcnews.bsky.social It is not at all "hugely embarrassing for the PM" #HenryZeffman!

Starmer only put a few finishing touches to what was a @conservatives.bsky.social Govt plan, negotiated 2019-2024.

#Trump's latest outburst, "an act of great stupidity" is a u-turn 😒

Last May (2025) Trump said, "They're talking about a very long-term, powerful lease, a very strong lease, about 140 years actually ... "that's a long time, and I think we'll be inclined to go along with your country"

The thing that would really get under Trump's skin would be for unfortunate countries to say or do absolutely NOTHING.

There's nothing he can stand less than being ignored.

HAPPY 85th BIRTHDAY to the incomparable JOAN BAEZ.

A beautiful song of finding love again after the death of a beloved spouse. It never fails to put some dust in my eye.

@sah-young.bsky.social Thinking of MrsM on her own little Winterreise! Sorry I couldn't come along. Have a lovely time.
#Winter
Stuck in a queue of traffic?
Stuck in the house, unable to go out? No need for the telly!

Some #perfectmatch music for this winter weather:
Franz Schubert, Die Winterreise, D.911.

(I enjoy Winterreise every winter, but usually nearer February.)

Just how horrible, spiteful, and narcissistic is #POTUS47 @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social ?

@nough to make the apparent murder of Rob and Mrs Reiner all about him.

"due to the anger he caused others through his..."Trump Derangement Syndrome".

He gets two words right.

#HRR I shall be more than sorry to see the Visitors and Brit go. They are always well-subscribed events. The Brit even gives/gave some real world clubs an opportunity to win something.

After Mass today, the traffic on Church Road faded into silence as a long skein of almost 100 overwintering Bewick's Swans flew over the Rectory at an altitude of about 300 feet, out for a graze.
