A bit of a monkey. Previously stuffed but still optimistic. Would’ve liked to stay but my troop moved out. Left but not far out. Seldom correct but never right. Holes in my fur need mending. So sad, think I’ll turn myself in > charity shop refugee.

Question for Americast:
Will Marianna be able to continue doing such an excellent job reporting on America given the US administration’s strange intervention to “protect free speech”? (Which they don’t appear to have any more)

This starts to look like the end of the society I was taught to believe in where
• looking after human beings
• freely expressing opinion in debate without reprisal (both ways)
• not lying
• leaving a good place for those who come after you
• ensuring the planet survives
• being kind
is important

Lisa Nandy conflates anti IDF sentiment with antisemitism. How can she not understand the difference? If the chant had been ‘IDF causes death’ or ‘IDF kills kids’ - fact. Voicing what Palestinians want to say but can’t due to political repression, UK arms sales and IDF violence is not antisemitism.

OK What can I do to help the people of Gaza?
Horrible as it was to see what happened to the free Israeli citizens at the festival, I’m absolutely sickened by the truly genocidal indiscriminate killing of Gazans in the prison that the IDF police. It looks like a holocaust to me, gas or no gas. So❓❓❓

Thames Water has its final legal appeal to allow its £3bn loan tomorrow (at 10% interest that billpayers will pay)
If it gets it, it goes bankrupt in 6 months anyway, and you will have to pay it all
If it doesn't it goes bankrupt tomorrow

I really don’t want someone so uncouth anywhere near the King. So Trump can get angry enough do one in his pants as far as I’m concerned but he shouldn’t get another state visit.

Traitorous, lying, self-aggrandising, inappropriate and disgustingly intimidating. Putin’s pussy, Trump, angry because he’s been grabbed and found to be, himself, grabby and loathsomely tainted by narcissism, lust for power and money.
