Its patron saint is of course St. Judas Iscariot.
Let us pray: 🙏🏻
‘Our Nigel, which art in parliament,
Farage be thy Name;
Thy fascism come;
Thy will be done
in Dubai, as it is in Clacton.’
As for that Jesus bloke, he’s a bloody leftard.😤

Weather≠ Climate.
Weather is short-term(days/weeks). Climate is long-term (30+ years).
A cold snap is a weather event.To see the climate trend, scientists analyze decades of global data: rising temperatures, melting ice, and warming oceans.
One chilly week is a data point,not the trend.

Eight people are on hunger strike, several apparently at imminent risk of dying, because our law punishes more harshly those opposing genocide than those supporting it. (And under a so-called Labour Government.)

The hunger strikers are in mortal danger. But the conditions they’re being kept in are already critical.
How the government and its prisons ignore strikers' basic rights and demands.

Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

The thing I still can't forgive Corbyn for is the generational harm he caused by enabling Brexit. When Starmer is gone, hopefully soon, I will feel the same way about the profound harm he has caused by making it palatable for the Far Right to ditch human rights norms. It will be his shameful legacy.
