Oh dear, Starmer. Don't enable the weaponisation and simplification of this tragedy. And definitely don't make Trump look like the hero he is not.

If someone asking a powerful person to show kindness to those without power offends your Christianity, your Christianity would offend Jesus.

Shame on the BBC - Coverage of the inauguration saying Trump can take the cease fire deal as his success.
It was Trump who recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and moved the embassy.
Can the media stop bigging up this absolute horror show who is politicising an atrocity.

Also on the BBC inauguration coverage, mentioning Biden's age was a problem.
Why do they never talk about Trump's age? He will be older than Biden by the end of his term (I write end loosely, as I'm worried he will somehow extend it).
It is never a level playing field with this liar.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA.
King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have.
RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!

The thing I don't understand about anti-climate change rhetoric is that...
...even though you think you're 100% right, why not at least pretend to give a damn for future generations, possibly your own children - just in case you are wrong (spoiler alert, you are wrong).
