Watching Trump’s Iran speech currently. I fail to see how anyone can take seriously this rambling incoherent buffoon
The mind simply boggles. These things are opening Pandora’s Box in the name of progress

Altruistic Russia. How nice! #bullshit
Funnily enough, that’s what we are having tonight - Goan seafood curry (yum)
You’ve stolen my chopping board and vegetable knife ! 😮
As an educator, I strongly support action to deal with the growing problems of misogyny and sexual harassment in schools. This sort of approach seems necessary to foster equality and reduce the scourge of VAWG. As ever, these initiatives need to be properly resourced, inc specialist staffing
I’d rather poke out my own eyes than watch this drivel

Happy International Women’s Day!
Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?
