Do you remember those hideous ads during Brexit? Where a ballet dancer retrained as an electrician, or an artist retrained as a carer?
This is exactly what they wanted - no arts, just practical. And that snuffs out all the joy and creativity in everyone, including the electricians and carers.

He’s one nasty, unfeeling, unconscionable b*****d. No conscience. No soul. No consideration for anyone. I hope the up and coming legal cases against these hateful repressive laws he’s so keen on win every single time. The current case for #PalestineAuthority, the one for #TransRights, the one for #Kneecap, and there’s bound to be one for #DisabledRights too. He’s not a king, or a dictator but seems to believe he has such powers.

Labour are doubling down on continuing their losing policies. I feel this iteration of Labour are going to end up where the Tories currently are. Though it is heartening to see the continued rise in votes and representation by Greens and LibDems, will it be enough to see off Reform, especially under this awful FPTP system. I don’t think Starmer is even inclined to change to STV or PR to mitigate the disaster of Reform winning all round; and people turning away from voting because they are disenchanted with lies and the lack of change. It’s another opportunity for Labour to get it wrong.

Trinity College, Dublin - just one example of the US administration trying to reach outside their jurisdiction. Also Greenland…. https://www.thejournal.ie/us-government-universities-ireland-6662142-Mar2025/?utm_source=shortlink

After yesterday, the UK will be making the biggest mistake possible if they continue to make deals with and sell our information etc to the USA. Starmer and Labour must be persuaded to work with the EU and not with the USA.

A charlatan, a grifter, a scammer. A quasi-political entity. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/live/2024/dec/10/uk-politics-live-rachel-reeves-spending-review-keir-starmer-cyprus

I do wonder if this isn’t an effort to keep Musk in his place - all the stories indicate he’s acting like he’s running the country. Or is Zuckerberg trying to get a piece of the action also? Remember the offer for a fight between the two of them that came to nothing? Rich children fighting over the spoils.

I follow @npub1ykx…lz93 who posts very regular updates on the sea ice ( or lack of it). It’s very concerning.

Misogny? control? Men have been doing everything they can to control women in similar ways for many generations, and a great deal of it is historic, based in christian-type religions. Many societies that do not have such a religious base do not treat women in this way.

Of course he does - and not a syllable about the thousands and thousands [millions?]of Palestinians murdered by the Israeli forces since the Nabka. Does anyone know for sure how these six hostages died? Was it starvation? Illness? Killed by the Hamas? Killed by the IDF, as has happened previously? Obviously no hostages should be killed by their captors in any situation, and this whole genocide should cease already. There will be no winners, even if Israel exterminates every Palestinian in West Bank & Gaza. That Netenyahu refused a peace deal, a ceasefire, and exchange of hostages, prisoners etc at the outset is to the shame of Israel, and all her supporters. Hamas are no heroes either - seizing hostages in order to make whatever point they want to make has not been a successful operation for them - it has brought an unconscionable horror on many innocent people especially the babies. There are no rights in any of this - just levels of wrong and horror.
Other countries [especially our western ‘democratic’ ones] really should butt out of all these wars, and stop suppling any military support to any side.
We can see from Afghanistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, and more that all our ‘democracies’ do is make things much worse for the peoples who live in these places. We destroy their lives, their culture, their environment, their finances, their health, their stability, just to enrich some who make munitions and use fossil fuels in our western societies. 💔

It depends on the instance you are on. Some are 500, some 1,000: some a lot more like 10k+.
