Centrist politically - equally frustrated by the far left & the far right

Love cinema & theatre - especially comedies The trouble with being a realist in the 2020s is that you can need a LOT of cheering up
Nathan Gill has been sentenced to 10½ yrs for bribery by the Russian gov

Meanwhile Nigel Farage has taken much the same pro-Russian lines & was also paid by Russia

But because it was via Russia Today/RT apparently that makes it OK?

Does it make it OK? I don't think so

The Telegraph is effectively helping to facilitate a possible £1bn payment by the British people to Donald Trump

That's about £40 per household

They might want to think about that a bit before they buy their morning paper in future...

The University Of Surrey has identified another Brexit 'benefit' 😢

They found the loss of EU nurses has caused an average additional 1,485 deaths per year

It was always going to be the case that there were deaths but to see the numbers is pretty shocking

Any genuine British patriot would have absolutely nothing to do with Reform UK or any of its equally disingenuous cousins (UKIP, etc) - except to protest against them

Just the latest reason why...

Every so often a programme comes up that perhaps we should all watch

Had something like this been shown before the Covid pandemic it might have gone a long way to counter the anti-science misinformation being shared & so save millions...

Very sadly I think that Mr Comey's confidence may be misplaced

In Trump's America your actual innocence or guilt increasingly doesn't matter

What is important is your submission to The Leader

But I wish him the very greatest of luck during the trials (No pun intended) ahead

This is Hope.

Hope was born with an ultra-rare genetic disorder called MLS syndrome.

She is deaf and blind.

She also has a heart condition called cardiomyopathy, which makes it difficult for her heart to pump blood.

I wish Anna and her niece, Hope, all the luck in the world

And I hope (No pun intended) that they get all the medical help Hope needs, and very soon! 🤗
I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

Just a year ago I'd never have thought anything like this would need to be made or shown

But here we are...

Welcome to Trump's America ☹️
🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️
