Sadly, whatever the UN says will never translate into action.

We have UK equivalents within Reform. Brits, be warned.

The colossal vanity of one man and the schoolboy bombbabybomb of another. Both conned by a genocidalist.

Whenever you see 'bitcoin' or 'cryptocurrency', it's always in connection with the dodgiest folk.

I adore them! Along with the White-faced Whistlers they are the friendliest and most curious birds in the London Wetland Centre (obviously not the wild zone, in this case showcasing the Pantanal wildfowl).

Already outstripped by Farage's 180 degree turn.

a β€˜little excursion’? fuck you, you callous piece of shit. you flushed billions of dollars down the toilet. you damned near depleted America’s stock of tomahawk missiles. you dropped a fucking bomb on a school and killed over a hundred children. that’s a war crime. you destabilized an entire region of the planet. that’s not a β€˜little excursion,’ you fucking fuck.

Little Donny Fuckface describes his disastrous and illegal war on Iran as a 'little excursion,' because of course he does. he's a psychopath β€” AND he's the worst person on the planet. thanks for your attention to my incandescent-with-rage post in which I lay it all out. link is here: bit.ly/3NpGqPv

This one from a window of the flat looking south over Merrion Square shows snow on the Dublin hills if you look carefully enough - a cold start to a spring day.

I want to see every Democrat visiting these concentration camps. Some are, not enough.

Shabana Mahmood intensifies her attack on refugee rights β€” Safe Passage Last week, the Home Secretary unveiled some of the most drastic changes to immigration and asylum policies in decades – just months after suspending refugee family reunion and amid escalating global v...

What wrecking-ball Mahmood is up to, in some detail. Who'd have thought she'd be as bad as Suella Braverman or Priti Patel? To dig in deeper after the by-election is foolish and malign. Do donate to Safe Passage if you can.

Can't keep pace with these opportunists - Farage has now done a 180 degree turn.

Praise be to the relatively few Democrats who are doing their duty and visiting these concentration camps.
