Every year at Candlemas, great drifts of snow-drops bloomed across Old Fox's village; miraculous, unadorned, pilt into the pale February sunlight from the dark, moleish earth below. In the churchyard around the graves and by the yew trees, across the green, in cottage gardens and under wayside oaks,

Listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social as people in great distress phone in, parents of military who served in Afghanistan, soldiers with PTSD, some who saw friends killed. Trauma reactivated, grief and rage overwhelming, because of the evil remarks made by senile, deranged sociopath with bone spurs.
Perhaps Nigel Farage would like to explain to the families of British soldiers killed in Iraq why he’s such a good pal of Donald ‘bonespurs’ Trump?
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
