When an illegal war, likely to cause mass murder, is launched, we have a choice of 2 positions:
1. It's wrong and has to stop.
2. Hurray! Let's join in.
Much of the UK Establishment - Conservatives, Reform, the billionaire media - went straight for Option 2.
Which tells you all you need to know.
These ancient buildings cost a fortune to maintain and restore.
If we want to keep them and visit them as tourists, we should pay.
Chester Cathedral has a small section (free) for those wish to pray. This strikes me as good practice.

Screenshot, black text on a white background: "Every bombed village is my hometown" - James Baldwin And every dead child is my child. Every grieving mother is my mother. Every crying father is my father. Every home turned to rubble is the home I grew up in. Every brother carrying the remains of his brother across borders is my brother. Every sister waiting for a sister who will never come home is my sister. Every one of these people are ours, Just like we are theirs. We belong to them and they belong to us.
Think on this, all you warmongers out there…

A passionate and powerful letter from a school-age reader, who views Reform UK as a threat to their friends and a failure to represent their views.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
Wow! The Full Mounty
3) Don't play dirty. The bizarre claims about the Greens in relation to drugs and sex workers were desperate, embarrassing, and harmful. It is no wonder they did not work and instead reflected badly on our party.

I'm sure you're right re Reform
TBH I'm not sure they're all that concerned about immigration. This is just a convenient bogeyman they invoke to stir up outrage (and win support)
But their real agenda is trumpian - making more money for themselves and their oligarchs buddies
This is my no 1 wish. I’d be happier with a green win, but a labour win is fine too. the priority has to be blocking Farage’s charlatan.
I’m with Charlie Brown 🤩🐾
Thank you 😊
Surely it’s time for Labour and Lib Dem voters to do the tactical thing and throw their weight in behind the Greens now?
Who’d they rather have? A good Green candidate or whatever it is Reform are offering?
This man is a campaigner
Not a politician
Not a serious person
Not fit to be an MP let alone PM
(I should have inserted the word ‘dishonest’ before campaigner)
beautiful - lovely dog! And I can feel the heat of the beach from here (it's cold and wet in France)

Who voted for Labour thinking they would persecute people protesting peacefully an ongoing genocide? Labour!

she's agreeing with a statement he's already backtracking on? 🥬 what does it say about the Tories that they let her rise so high?
Oil painting of a winter scene looking across snow-covered fields past nearby farm buildings to the church and town of St Claud in Southwest France
We don’t get much real snow here, so I imagined what this view of St Claud (Charente, France) might look like, using Monet’s Magpie as a colour reference

An oil painting of a bridal way in France in midwinter. The path is leading it away from the viewer. The early morning sunlight is catching the few remaining copper leaves. The ground is white in places with frost not snow, we don’t get much snow here.
