Retired Doctor. Overwhelmed by the miracle that is life. Wanting to protect it. Politically Green. Bluesky members, stop me from despairing!
How can people even consider voting for this guffawing supporter of cruelty? I despair.
The unbreakable bond between animal hatred and antisemitism.

Not ‘perhaps’. Labour ‘should’ stand up. What is it waiting for?
Kick out the Tory appointments - the enemies within- like Robbie Gibb.
And stand up for the BBC against Trump.
Come on, Labour, grow a backbone!

Perhaps Labour should stand up to Murdoch and those trying to destroy the BBC from within - it's in their hands to change the direction.

Seeing as Trump now defies international law with impunity, why should the BBC take any notice of him filing a defamation claim in a Florida court? Why is he not suing the thousands of people who defame him daily on social media? Why does he not sue himself? He defames himself daily by his own acts

And with gun ownership so prevalent, civil war will be bloody.
When the U.S. uses the military against citizens, attacks immigrants, and executes people who pose no threat, it jeopardizes our national security because it incites violence, invites retaliation, normalizes fascism, and sets precedence for others to follow suit. Trump is endangering America.

As a visitor to the US my partner was shocked to enter a gun shop and see the array of weapons on open sale. She was especially shocked by a stand displaying handbags with special compartments for 'lady' s guns'. So dainty, so feminine! What is wrong with you people?
Just checking: are we saying how horrible the shooting at Brown is and then just going back to business as normal for a couple of days until the next shooting occurs?

Labour are attacking Greens. Fine. I have yet to see any party that has entirely affordable aspirations.
But at least the Greens HAVE aspirations.
Labour have seemingly decided the status quo cannot be touched, even when it doesn't work for 90% of people, or the viability of life on the planet.

Let every country join the boycott to leave Israel to compete alone. They can't 'win' if there is no competition.
The UK must follow Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia’s lead and boycott Eurovision.
We cannot have “business as usual” with Israel, a genocidal apartheid state.

The BBC is running scared of Trump at the moment, having been brought to his attention by the duplicitous Daily Telegraph. Probably wise not to court more trouble. But it is appeasing a fascist bully.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Shocking from a Labour government. What is it about Brown lady politicians? Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, now Shabana Mahmoud. Most vindictive against people of their own colour arriving to try to make a better life, like their parents did presumably.
Shabana Mahmood's Indefinite Leave To Remain Culture War
3 years - if you're earning £125k+
15 years - if you're e.g. a nurse, or a teacher
Labour's two tier system which rewards high earners and insults those who work just as hard but don't earn as much - really sad to see Labour fall

The problem after 14 years of damage wreaked by the Tories is that we now have a f***ed up BBC and a f***ed up NHS.
But, remember, the f***ing up has come from outside. It is not intrinsic

When the rich say it can't be done, they mean they don't want it done.
They are not more intelligent.
They don't deserve outrageous wealth.
And they certainly don't work harder.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I read this on X, and it finally made my mind up to leave his platform. He is a dangerous lunatic whose influence needs to be cut off. The content of X has recently become more or less completely toxic right wing propaganda. Enough.
Utter BS here from Elon Musk about immigrants turning up and 'raping the kids'.
But also about needing 'hard men' presumably Americans to protect us.
Far more British people died in WW1 and in WW2 than Americans.
