For 100s of years the stereotype of Jews is that they manipulate others; they control from the shadows to promote their agenda. The Nazis used this to its maximum effect.

It’s horrible & reprehensible.

Yet today we see Netanyahu using Trump like a puppet.

Why can’t people just get along 😔

The persecution of the Jews has been reprehensible for hundreds of years and the Oct 7th attack was a terrible thing.

But it does not & should not give them the right to commit genocide in Gaza or start bombing other nations.

#Isreal is making itself the most hated nation.

That Orange Cheeto wants this; he’s itching for an excuse to use the military to quell opposition to keep him in power and turn America into an autocracy … whilst preaching about saving the constitution.
This is what happens when the uneducated vote for a criminal.

I wish I was able to talk to you about this game Dad, I wish we were planning going to the final next weekend or watching it on TV.

It’s times like this I miss you so much.

“Travelling to the USA is a privilege, not a right”

As it is my right & privilege to not visit the USA, to not spend my money there, to do whatever I can to avoid American products.

I’m disappointed beyond words.

There are millions of dumb Americans that vote for a racist idiot.

Now, living in England, I see we have the same disease voting for #reform and Farage, who are the NF / BNP in disguise.

So the UK is looking to lower tariffs on American cars … that we don’t want here as they’re crap!

As for letting American chlorinated chicken into the UK, even if it was allowed we wouldn’t buy it.

I’ve always wanted to visit NYC but what happened to #rumeysa was the final straw.

I’ve cancelled our flights, hotel and the cruise we were taking back home.

Under Trump, 🇺🇸 is becoming a fascist state & I cannot visit & spend my money there.

Rugby League is a game played in a few towns in the north of England where 20 blokes and a dog come to watch.
Playing a game in Las Vegas in a 70k seat stadium is an absolute joke, you can see and hear how empty it is!

I rarely watch #motd as I can’t bare to watch my team lose every week.

But after this? I wouldn’t watch it anyway. This should be fronted by ex professionals, those that have played the game.

Christmas Day.

The worst day of my year.

I don’t like parties, the forced pressure to be happy, the utter embarrassment of opening presents while being stared at.

For those that enjoy today, happy Christmas. I just want it to be left alone and get it over with.

Think I’ll stop playing #connections as it’s too American, some of the connections are weird and seeing as 🇺🇸 has just proved herself to be the mother weirdness, I’ll steer clear!

We have the keys!

The sale was completed today and I’ve taken 3 car loads to the new house.

Decorator arriving tomorrow, removals of all the major stuff on Thursday.

There is light at the end of the house selling/buying saga!

🤞 that our house purchase is completed today. It has been a long road since I put mine on the market in February.

Tonight, the hard work starts to move all this (and more) to our new home.

Wish me luck!
