I wish there was room for Red squirrels and otters. Perhaps they could rotate.

Trump now referring to the attack on Iran as an 'excursion'. So we can now call Hegseth Secretary of State for Excursions? Knotted handkerchief on his head and britches rolled up to his knees? That could have its points.

Good to see you too. That's partly why I stay with exTwitter. Battlefields need ambulances.

Fair point.They probably are. (Low bar!) But classy or not - the royals are all a test of adulting that we go on failing.

Hello Meri. I'm around! Here and on exTwitter. I don't maybe say much about the Archers though...

Something i would like folks to understand about the police raid on Westminster Quaker Meeting House. The right wingers thinking its a slam dunk to correct folks about it 'not being a meeting for worship, it was a room hire'
They are wrong, and its ignorance of Quakers, their history and praxis.

Yes. As well eat the packet.

It's #WorldBookDay

"There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry –
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul "

John McDonnell spoke clearly and authoritatively on the Today programme this morning. He is right: MPs must block British involvement in this reckless, illegal and dangerous US and Israeli aggression. .

She did. The truth of sketchwriting. "Kemi sat down with a wide grin on her face. The look of a job well done. She had no idea that she had crashed and burned."

Brutal and blind force followed by grandiose threats and the usual shrug of 'we'll see what happens'. No day after plan. The world sees Trump’s MO. Be not surprised but remain horrified. #Iran

It isn't. As with conspiracy theorists (there's probably a Venn diagram). I know one who lives in a constant state of suspicion and fear. Their life is deeply unhealthy and isolated.

He's answered the trolls in the best way. What a brave and gracious man. I'd be very happy to be welcomed by him.
