Last Notes npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I’m shocked at how many are voting Reform Ltd. I know people are often herd like and stupid, but this is a while other level of self-harm. The same people who are currently whining that Brexit was a bad idea, now voting for the party whose leader brought Brexit to the table. Ugh. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB His action won’t result in a good outcome for the people of Iran, because he’s ignored the culture, tradition, politics, history, financing etc. Colonial demands, coercion and control have never created a good outcome, especially not remote ones. Just look at the history of every country the US has invaded, bombed or starved, especially in the Middle East. And Israel (the chief puppeteer) is certainly unloved and loathed by most. All the US does is impoverish and enslave. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB He’s demanding some kind of special signing ceremony at #DAVOS - to do with his #Gaza Peace/Pieces committee. Consternation all round. You are not wrong - completely, comprehensively lost all sanity. What’s more worrying is the sycophants around him enabling all of this. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Mark Rutte’s private [no more] message to Trump is now on his social media, and it’s so embarassing - even more so than the ‘Daddy’ trope he used previously. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB This was floated previously. I don’t think it was particularly successful. It keeps all that student income out of the UK too, and it’s very expensive for the universities. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Rosindell was suspected for a rape/assault charge in 2022 (iirc); but charges did not proceed because the cops claimed it didn’t meet the evidence threshold….. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB More guns in the USA per person than pretty much anywhere else in the world. I reckon there comes a point when people will fight back - using the abhorrent doctrine of ‘defending their castle’ npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB The sun never set on the British Empire, because even God didn’t trust the British in the dark. #PerfidiousAlbion npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Those opposing ICE and such have not moved to violence…..yet. They have been using peaceful means like whistles, noise, recording and exposing who and where ICE are. But I think ICE are escalating, regardless. Their brutality has the backing of Noem, Homan, Millar and such. Laws and boundaries are being ignored. Republican political unease is being ignored. Trump and his administration are pushing for an autocracy/despot regime. If it goes to Civil War it will be very very bad. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I can’t figure out how to block the bridge; I wish I could do even that. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB If I could prevent all and any Bluesky stuff from showing up in my feed, I really would. Want nothing to do with it, but it seems posts can migrate across when others share them. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Big Tech doesn't care if you want AI or not. They should. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB He’s got Tommy-Stephen-Robinson-Yaxley-Lennon with an Irish passport to do damage in Ireland; add in Conor MCGregor [currently doing pretend religion all over the place]; and the #BurkesOfCastlebar who had some far-right ones at the gates of a school yesterday as they continue to stalk the parents, staff and premises. Political parties like #Aontú would be comfortable with #Bannon, and some of the independents. #Ireland is aware, and we know it’s dangerous and uncertain times npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB No. #Trump is only interested in personal wealth and the wealthiest. Everyone else is dirty and horrible and deserves to die in his world, especially if they aren’t nubile blue-eyed blondes. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Given the number of guns per person in the USA, I’m honestly surprised there has not been a bigger pushback against ICE to date. But I think, if Trump,p invokes the Insurrection Act, things could get very ugly and bloody, very quickly indeed. What will people have left to lose? npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I am not convinced he can evaluate information sufficiently to understand any of this. China is in trade surplus and increasingly so. Trump only sees transactions through a ‘how do I personally benefit from this?’ lens. As he declines cognitively, he’s even less capable of understanding or accepting he’s wrong. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Has Mitch McConnell had some kind of of revelation? When did being appreciative of the USA’s neighbours ever apply to any previous statement he ever made? He’s as complicit as the rest of the current administration. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Yesterday 17K football fans cancelled their World Cup tickets. FIFA is holding an emergency meeting. Some of the countries due to play have had all their citizens banned by the USA. I suspect this is only the beginning of the fallout. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Every word of this. Time to #BDSUSA. The problem or hindrance is the UK’s leaders and potential leaders in waiting who are in thrall financially, business wise and psychologically to the current US administration and its rapacious attitude. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Time to get him out of #Labour and out of office as #PM. Disgusting. I hope he visits there and faces the consequences the #Palestinians face every single day. #Starmer #Blair #Mandelson are so far up the #Trump fundament they can’t see daylight. Also, allowed a #Russian tanker to be brought into the Moray Firth under #US escort today. The UK is part of what the US is doing around the world. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB The more the #Clintons refuse, obstruct and delay the more evident it becomes they have something to hide. Whether it’s financial, political, or personal is the only thing we don’t know. At no point have either of the Clintons been accused of any impropriety with regard to the assaults and trafficking of your women and girls at #Epsteins establishments, so their refusal looks dodgy to say the least. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Palestine Action hunger strikers are still the state’s responsibility | Palestine Action | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jan/12/palestine-action-hunger-strikers-are-still-the-states-responsibility npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB #Mandelson claimed in a shameful interview with #BBC this morning that he never saw young women about the place. Here’s a photo from the UK Telegraph paper…. While he might wear glasses, and be a gay man, he can surely see this young woman right in front of him at one of #Epstein’s residences? I don’t believe for a microsecond that he was ever involved in predatory behaviour or assaults against those young women; but he’s not blind. He chose not to see. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB He may have got the Venezuela takeover wrong though - the oil companies are not interested in- too expensive and far too risky they say. Who benefits when any American is unsafe in Venezuela, as well in increasing numbers of other countries? Certainly not America and certainly not the Trump administration. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB The 10% cap was proposed by Ilan Omar and other Democrats previously, and was contemptuously and angrily dismissed as every kind of wrong by Trump back then. How every convenient his genius should find it something of benefit now. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Totally unprovoked and disgusting. https://turtleisland.social/@Yehuda/115871746839548605 npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I was really hoping he would fall on his fat ass on that ICE. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I said this yesterday, with regard to the Maduro-Trump exchange. Apart from demanding her Nobel, Trump would insist on a golf course, a Trump tower and other branded amenities in Venezuela. No matter what he’s offered, he just want more and more. And he absolutely cannot have the Nobel prize, even though she offered to share it with him - the Nobel committee are very clear about that. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Your husband lucked out big time when you married him. I hope he fully appreciates everything-your integrity, intelligence, empathy, love, creativity, capabilities, capacity to love, talents……. Happy anniversary to you and your family and Summer. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Sliabh Liag. - it’s Irish and it is not - never - Slieve League. 🙄 npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I hope they take Streeting, and that whole cabinet of ghouls that are the current Labour Front Bench asap npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB These are beautiful. Do you do them freehand or have a pattern. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Bloody useless PM and seemingly has no clue about international law either. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB It is clear from the terminology used by AG Pam Bondi that the Maduro’s are already found guilty by the US establishment. I’m not sure whether this will be a case in front of SCOTUS or if Trump has some other tame [kangaroo] court organised to hear the charges and pronounce sentence. Don’t even know if the Maduro’s have legal counsel of their own choosing, or if the US administration has decided who their legal counsel will be. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I have a strong feeling nothing will happen. Labour are now absorbed into the Tory/Reform system of privilege: are busy giving peerages as rewards, and have no intention whatsoever of rocking this particular boat. Nor are they going to do anything about improving the voting system from the unjust FPTP to STV or PR. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Other users such as theatrical, musical, award ceremonies etc are boycotting it. Trump threatened to sue the first refuser for a million dollars - the kind of sum most musicians don’t have hanging around as spare change. Suing them won’t ensure their attendance. I strongly suspect the Kennedy Centre is not making any profit, and MAGA discounts are not going to help that. Crowd attendance is well down also, so people are voting with their feet. This is how to defeat him. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I truly hope the #GreenParty continue to make decent inroads into #Labour and to pick up undecided and new voters. Not sure if admitting they would form a coalition with Labour under Andy Burnham is a positive admission yet. But a coalition with #SNP, #Plaid would be good. (1/3) npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB There’s always an idiot around; usually our excellent admins handle them pretty quickly, as long as they are informed. This was yesterday’s one. His entire timeline was insults and abuse of people, on the flimsy pretence that he was ‘defending Venezuela’. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I saw that one yesterday - ranting on very rudely about Venezuela. I blocked and reported him. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB The super rich won’t like spending a minimum mandatory length of time in the UK. It’s cold, and inefficient and everything is relatively small and dirty and inefficient compared to their lives in California. I think they are much more likely to consider Dubai, where Oakeshott and lots of people with unspecified wealth live and holiday. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB This is when the ‘Ireland is full’ lot look a bit stupid. This is when immigration and welcoming immigrants is proven to be essential, important and necessary. Population movement has always happened throughout history, in almost every country in the world. And the ‘forced birth’ lot can get over themselves; but sadly are likely to see this as an opportunity to try and roll back hard won rights & autonomy. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Disgusting. I don’t know if there can be a legal challenge to this: but I certainly hope it will be highlighted continually and cost #Labour seats and votes at every upcoming opportunity. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Both Labour and Reform only appeal to people’s basest, most selfish, cruel instincts, in all their pronouncements and actions. Too many, as you rightly say, never learn to see beyond the mirage. Too many voters refuse to understand that bullying, exclusion, and intolerance end up impoverished them and enriching the politicians. It’s frustrating and heartbreaking to see another repeat of what we see happening in the USA. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB People voted #Labour because they promoted a platform that was the opposite of #Tory. Labour betrayed every single voter almost immediately and have continued to do so ever since. If anything, Labour are looking more Tory by taking massive donations, by keeping the FPTP voting system, by creating more suppression of human rights, etc. Next GE voters will (a)not vote (b) vote Reform as they are Toryish (c) vote Green. We may well be stuck with a Reform govt. because of the system. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB This disgusting, inhumane #Labour government will comfortably see people die on their watch, rather than act in a decent manner. No one should be detained without access to bail for years, especially when they were never involved in the wilful murder of anyone. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I’ve just seen a report that the second oil tanker seized by the American forces contained product paid for and destined for China. The Chinese will not take this lying down , and I’m sure there will be serious repercussions. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Unexpected item in the garden area…. Was not expecting a heron on our neighbours roof, with a magpie trying to pull its tail, or in our garden either this morning. We live in an urban development. The white lines are a reflection because I was photographing through the window, rather than open the door and disturb the bird. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Meet Charlie. He’s eleven years old. And the man whose arms he’s standing on is his best friend. Charlie fell down the chimney when he was a day old, with bits of shell still stuck to his feathers. This lovely man looked after him and raise him to be his best Jacdaw self. Charlie comes every day to say hi, and brings lots of his buddies along as well. Only Charlie perches on his friend’s arm though. We met Charlie and his friend on the North Coast yesterday. #KindnessMatters npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Given the unutterable cruelty of Shabana Mahmoud to immigrants, and this Labour administrations attitude to trans people, as well as Starmer advocating to reduce the remit of the ECHR, I have no faith whatsoever in police forces in the UK being sufficiently educated to take violence against women seriously. Would add that far too many police forces have misogynists, racists, rapists and deceptive police in their ranks. Just look at how they infiltrated Left Wing groups. https://toot.wales/@NationCymru/115717438341123780 npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Of course Martina, Ammi and another sibling went to this hearing; seems they behaved sufficiently that they were not removed, and did get to ask questions through the chair. Afterwards they filmed and harassed panel members returning to their vehicles, and posted the comment shown below on Enoch Burke’s Xitter page. I’ve spared you the video at the end of the post. #BurkesOfCastlebar #EnochBurke npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Simon Jenkins with a compassionate and understanding article, highlighting decent humanity and treating people with respect. #TransRightsAreHumanRights npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB With that case today about Trump and who he can fire, it’s looking more and more like this SCOTUS only works for POTUS, not for the people, and not for the Constitution. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Is/when #SCOTUS grants this, everything and everyone in the #USA becomes #Trump and his successors personal plaything. I have no idea what SCOTUS could possibly gain from this, as they would be handing him full power over themselves also. It’s insane npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB The sectarian, frightened #DUP are putting in a Petition of Concern, because they cannot cope with the idea of anyone getting information from a real world outside their bubble of Britishness based in London; though they have no problem at all with sending their own representative to Israel or to the USA. It simply would not do if other political parties had the same priveleges as they do. No wonder the six counties of Northern Ireland are an expensive backwater. #NIPol https://mastodon.scot/@Fife4Europe/115673903493161344 npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB [@Natasha_Jay](https://tech.lgbt/@Natasha_Jay ) This ghoul can’t cease to breathe soon enough. He’s an utterly hateful racist PoS. 🤬 npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Well, a week is a long time in politics. Three years is several lifetimes. By the end of three years hopefully #ReformLtd will have died in disgrace in some ditch. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Congratulations on a wonderful achievement of forty years together. I hope you both have plenty more years to enjoy this artwork and the memories it brings for you. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB No intersex child can be a member of Girl Guides. No trans person can be involved in Girl Guides. What’s next? No fathers can drop off their daughters, sisters, nieces to a Girl Guides event? No relative attending any celebration or fundraising event unless previously vetted for their DNA to ensure they are female? #TransRightsAreHumanRights #Boycott #GirlGuides npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB What the betting these have conditions so only white children will get these accounts? npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB 😂 The #TUV #DUP Loyalist/Unionist contingent can suck it up. The State of Palestine 🇵🇸 fleg stays until a minute to midnight tonight at Belfast City Council. All that fuss, call-in’s, solicitor & barrister in court last night, and a time wasting hearing today; how much did this nonsense cost the Belfast ratepayers? There are so many important issues to be going on with… but Fleg, fleg, fleg…. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I think a lot of various clergy, communions and more need to put out a strong message asap about this; and call it for what it is. I’m humanist, but I can see all the lies and flaws in his statement, that I shared above. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Tommeh now tapping into a new set for more money for his grift. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB And look at a big country like China, which is massive in its green energy transition now, and rapidly reducing its dependency on fossil fuels. Also, places like Africa, India etc where there’s plenty of sun. They are putting solar panels on desert areas and finding the land is useable underneath because moisture is retained and some plants can grow. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB The data centres and mini nuclear power stations will ensure there’s no water. The government really did not think any of this through. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB It’s a mirage budget. While appearing to benefit those on lower incomes, ultimately it brings more into the taxable ranges and thus impoverishes them further: because the income tax thresholds/tax free allowance did not rise. Still has not taxed the rich or those with much assets. It cut the farmers a further break too. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB UK are not an honest partner. This has been amply demonstrated over millennia. #PerfidiousAlbion npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Who will decide on the seriousness of any offence? This is a dangerous and shortsighted idea, which will result in too many miscarriages of justice. The obvious solution is to train more judges, magistrates, court officials, and to educate people about the importance of jury service and their place in it. This idea totally undermines the judicial system in the UK, and creates an opportunity for kangaroo courts: or worse, the Diplock system which was a massive injustice in N Ireland npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I don’t want the expense of him in jail on the taxpayers. Seize all his pensions, his assets etc and let him live on a basic state pension like the rest of us. Carrie can get a zero hours contract to make a few quid extra, while he minds the kids. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Edited and added the ‘donation’ link from another a/c on the same instance. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I think it’s a russian troll farm or bot farm thing. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Meh. It wasn’t conducive to copy and paste for some reason. So I went straight to Block. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB 🧌🚨 #Toodles #Racism #Islamophobia #BotFarm #RussianTroll #Fediblock @npub1jhw…x4ma npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB That’s disgusting. Even the rancid and corrupt Tories didn’t descend to this. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Abusive, coercive, racist, lying, rapist, police exist in every force. What’s shocking is how many there are and how many more there seem to be. They are not learning from the exposure of others: those training and /or supervising police forces are not implementing appropriate measures to weed this out or stop it. Such officers should be suspended immediately and their investigation and case fast tracked. They should not be allowed to resign to avoid punishment if found guilty. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB He’s also sold out his interest in Tesla, and a few other things. Could this be just a business decision: or could it be more based in his increasingly unhinged religiosity? Like end times stuff such people often talk of? npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Could this also be a Pump & Dump, where those bailing wait several weeks, having made a fortune, then buy again at much lower prices….rinse and repeat until someone puts an end to the game? npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB While banning the graphic depiction of choking for sexual pleasure in porn filming is becoming law, it seems a little strange to me they are not also banning such a practice in reality. When a victim/survivor eventually manages to summon to courage to report it, and especially if they have evidential marks, the perpetrator should be arrested immediately for attempted murder. That victim should not be waiting years for a court case, by which time they may be dead. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Congratulations on an excellent achievement. Sensible conversations without too much flaming and with good moderation teams is what makes #Mastodon, and the #Fediverse. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Totally NAZI. Disgusting. This Labour government are not fit for office. Denmark admitted this was ‘a mistake’. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB OMG. WTAF??? Has Shabina Mahmoud ever read the history of how the #Nazis treated the many types of people they captured, imprisoned and killed? Taking the jewellery and anything of value was one of the biggest things, even to the point of gold fillings in their teeth. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB She’s an out and out far right racist, approved of by Robinson-Yaxley-Lennon. In a similar model to Suella Braverman, Priti Patel & Kemi Badenoch. Has denied or obliterated her own family history and than of many generations of people who migrated around the world. Taking her rules to their logical conclusion, how long before all those people of British descent are returned from countries they colonised around the world? She’s appalling, vindictive, arrogant and ignorant. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB AI or that Mini Nuclear plant? I thought it was one of those [untested, unproved] small nuclear yokes that cost billions and take a generation to build. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB #YourParty is one hell of a turkey…. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB She knows you are her beach buddy, her cardboard buddy, her garden plants buddy, her wash day buddy: so you are very important for her. She also knows her Pal isn’t in the best of health and needs snuggles. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Happy birthday Linus 🐾🐕🦴 npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Every one of them deserves to lose their seat asap. They aren’t Democrats. I hope their phone lines are red hot with furious people telling them exactly what they think of this cave-in. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB As long as Labour continue to focus on ReformLtd, The Greens can get on with building a viable alternative to be ready when the next voting opportunities arise. YourParty are going nowhere because egos, stubborn individuals, refusal to compromise, and infighting over funds are sucking up all their oxygen. LibDems look tired and ineffective. Tory Party is all but vanished. Hopefully 🐸 will continue to attract Labour’s attention for as long as possible. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB 🙄 Even the toxic Tories were not prepared to go this far with their rhetoric. They did it by putting Sturgeon under police investigation which dragged on for years and found nothing. On the other hand, such dangerous and short-sighted comment should ensure a massive vote for #SNP and #ScottishGreens for the forseeable future. #ScottishIndependence npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I’m astonished he’s still a registered solicitor. It’s taking way too long to disbar him, particularly as he’s already been listed for bankruptcy. The victims really should be speaking to their own solicitors and making the proper buyout of their ground-rent/leasehold at the standard rate. Imo any half decent solicitor completing a house purchase should be recommending their client to do it right then. Money well spent for future security. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB People have had enough of being lied to. They trusted Labour under Blair and were ignored/lied to especially about Iraq. Labour got the consequences they deserved. People then returned to trusting the Tories, who are now almost defunct because of their lies & theft & corruption. Labour benefited and clearly lied, having broken every promise in less than two years. Every day they show to be more Tory. Reform are already showing to be inept, lying, corrupt. Green is the only option. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Racism and raping seem to be the two qualities best exemplified by MetPol. There’s at least one new report of one or both every week. Regardless of how many Comissioners are appointed with an undertaking to reform MetPol ‘root & branch’ the rot continues. The entire force should be disbanded, none of the current officers re-employed in any policing role, and it redesigned from the ground up. New system, new training, new rules, new monitoring, new officers. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I bet she won’t be sacked, like Reeves wasn’t: even though they both broke the rules. They are complicit with Starmer’s agenda so he will keep them, while he didn’t keep Haigh. Rayner, Powell and others. #Corruption #Labour #Starmer npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB It’s clear Republicans are panicking and increasingly desperate to get out of a mess of their own making. Election wins yesterday show exactly how the public view this Republican government and its actions. It’s on Republicans to fix this - either they stand up to Trump and govern responsibly or they take the hit. Ball is in their court. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB Pensioners paid into the system forever, and they are receiving one of the lowest state pensions anywhere. #TaxTheRich npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB One of Caribbean ethnicity and one of African ethnicity: both ethnicities have been in the UK for many generations. These two men are British, regardless of their skin colour. Yousuf and the fash are frustrated because they are not immigrants. I hope it chokes them. Just like Huntley, Saville, Sutcliffe, West and many more are British - something they would like to forget npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB The US $ would not be a good currency to invest in or use while the 🍊💩 and his associates are in office: not just because of what’s being done to dismantle the USA, but also because of the conflation of banking, cryptocurrencies, and Pump&Dump and the various schemes floated by Trump family members. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB And Starmer & Streeting have taken up exactly where the Tories left off. All those donations to Streeting to privatise as much of the #NHS as possible - #LabourOut npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB This is horrible and a little scary. I don’t know if you gave photos or any vehicle identification information that might be useful for your local crime watch group. The suggestion of big sprinklers is an excellent one. Perhaps it would be worth you and your neighbours considering installing a few wildcams at a couple of key locations to gather evidence. 🫂💖 npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB The party at Mar-a-Largo was a Great Gatsby themed event. How utterly distasteful, and totally typical of this individual and his entourage. I doubt he is aware of how Gatsby and Daisy ended…. npub1s2uxaelxjnpaxpcr4mxtemkv3zl3dcark26phn87wpv8wekjh2rs9q42jv HarriettMB I think Korea was trolling him, and he’s too egotistical to realise this. The crown is a copy (hopefully made of tin and gilded). The honour and order of Mugungwha is derided and disregarded by the Korean people, and has been rescinded from at least two previous recipients. Here’s an extract from Wikipedia about it
