Not content with selling out Ukraine to Russia and thereby putting the security of America’s allies at risk, the Trump regime is trashing the reputation of US science and risking the health of its children by rewriting the CDC website to suggest a link between vaccines and autism
Roger’s Thesaurus In order to grow, expand, widen his lexicological corpus, Roger bought, acquired, purchased a synonymopedia, a thesaurus. Soon, presently, without delay, he no longer ran out of things to say, speak, utter, express, articulate, give voice to, pronounce, communicate. This was all very well, fine, great, wonderful, super, terrific but his friends, mates, pals found him boring, tedious, dull, soporific. So let this be a warning, an omen, a sign, a premonition, it’s all very well to show learning, education, knowledge, erudition, but here’s a top tip, a hint, a suggestion, some advice, don’t ever let it stop you from being concise
brief, short, clear, pithy, succinct, compendious, to the point, compact, snappy, laconic. Breviloquent. Brian Bilston
Here’s a poem called ‘Roger’s Thesaurus’.

Unhappy Birthday to Me It’s important to share, or so I’ve been taught, to show kindness to others, to be a good sport. But all of those teachings have taken a bump – for I share my birthday with Donald Trump. For years I knew not of this dark, dreadful fate, and with ignorant bliss I honoured the date – but then it got hijacked, sullied, gazumped by a self-serving bigot, a foul gibberlump. With him, I would share an infectious disease, a mouldy bread roll, an infestation of fleas, a romantic weekend at a toxic waste dump – but please, not my birthday, Mr. Tangerine Chump. Alternative dates he’s welcome to try – 12th Febtember, 33rd July. But 14th June? In a lake, take a jump and find a new date, you deranged sewage pump. Brian Bilston
Happy 14th June to all those (except one) who celebrate.
Just happened to bump into these good boys whilst strolling through Manesty Woods and who were only too pleased to pose for a photo… #Keswick #LakeDistrict
Didn’t expect to meet these down by the lake… #Derwentwater #LakeDistrict
Beautiful day in Keswick, albeit with very low water levels. Absolutely beautiful though ❤️ #Keswick #LakeDistrict #Cumbria
And let’s never forget those from Keme Badenoch to Niall Ferguson - and much of the UK commentariat - who have been either active or passive apologists for Trump
Emotional roller coaster for you now for some time. Don’t forget to take some time out for yourself. Take care, Jon.
So sorry to read this. Condolences you and your family. Take care.

I feel like I’ve been living in a freezer since Christmas 🥶🥶

Thank you to Canada for helping California right now. You are wonderful and good people. 🇨🇦
So pleased to read this….car still stuck on drive here in Halifax, deep snow compacted as ice on our road still too dangerous to attempt to drive on. ☹️
Had at least a foot of snow here in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Not shifting either
Well said Rory! Your comments speak certainly for myself if not for the majority of our country!
Hurray!! Can’t wait 😃👍
