On the nail. "It's just business"

The suggestion that Labour voters disaffected by Labour's weak support for Palestinians being a factor in the shift to Reform sounds a bit unlikely. I don't recall Farage being particularly tough on Israel or of welcoming Palestinian refugees. Did I miss something?

Is this an attempt at satire , from the man who describes himself as being on the internet before the World Wide Web existed, ie pre-1989, as if that gives him extra points?
Compuserve? Telnet? IRC? So what?
& don't mention Israel and international law together and expect to be taken seriously.

Russia shows there is no limit to the depths it will sink to. The use of animals in modern warfare is an abomination.

We don't hate you, we applaud those that stand against fascism. We are as baffled as you are at what your fellow voters have done, twice! The damage being done by Trump is frightening and it couldn't have happened at a worse time for Ukraine.

I remember as a youth being told I couldn't leave the table until I'd finished my dinner, by then a few cold sprouts. I couldn't put one in my mouth as the thought made me physically sick.
I don't know if it's an age thing but I've grown to love them, especially since having them with chestnuts.

Given how well known she is and the placard plainly shows she is supporting the prisoners and that the police do actually have a choice whether to arrest or caution, it doesn't reflect well on either the police or Labour.
Being shafted by Trump is tough on the gov but even harder for the world.

I guess disenfranchising those who liked Jeremy Corbyn hasn't helped.

It doesn't say much for UK voters does it? It seems they're very easily swayed by someone with a smile and a wink who can repeatedly say how much the very nature of Britishness is being threatened and, with 100% confidence, that only they have the thoroughly reasonable plan to sort everything out.

Such callous madness. I wish there were a special hell waiting for Putin and his generals.

Is this real? We all imagined it but this is blatantly more than just hanging out with a cool guy who has a lot of young girls working for him.

Therein lies the problem for all good people who believe in democracy.
You democratically vote in a monster who then has the power to , apparently, insert his cronies into key positions, change all the rules in his favour and destroy all possible opponents.
There may not even be another election.

Always good to know how these things cope in different scenarios. If/when we go for a heat pump, I will certainly be adding solar panels as well even up here. Thanks for sharing and rural France does sound (and look) a great place to settle.
