Is Donald Trump punishing Chinese media companies through Jeff Bezoz's Amazon Prime? As of this morning all Chinese dramas (not Korean or other Asian) on my Prime UK are pay per episode, no longer freeπŸ™„ Restarted my Netflix subscription. Oh well, life goes on😐

Trump says Iran bombed girls' school. 'They have no accuracy whatsoever' Speaking aboard Air Force One on March 7, Trump blamed Iran for the bombing of Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab.

Vast scale of overseas human remains held in UK museums decried by MPs and experts Exclusive: Guardian study finds UK museums hold more than 260,000 items of remains, often in sacrilegious ways

From this research only about 3% of the human remains are held by Scottish organisations. Time to take the lead and repatriate them.

Fears of price hikes as Iran conflict drives up shipping costs Businesses warn of long impact even if the war in the Middle East is short

not just energy prices going to rise. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the disrupted shipping routes around the Suez Canal and the Red Sea are threatening the importation of medicines, semiconductors and food staples. Tough time for those on low incomes

and yea, Asylum seekers bring their own culture with them, a number of whom think its all right to rape others, flash their privates at schoolkids, murder, steal, stalk. Germany took huge numbers of asylum seekers from countries with lower social values and suffer for it

seems the world has stopped turning - except for Trump's war. BBC, Sky News, Reuters, stuff us full of unwanted facts about US, Israel attacking Iran, Lebanon, Iran firing on Israel and US bases. Just let them get on with it. It is not exciting news - it is pitifulπŸ˜’

Trump's threats to Carney and Canada are not empty threats. If Donald Trump ever invades his neighbour Canada, a lesson how the Russians got rid of Hitler out of their country and finished him off

how much trouble, mayhem has Donald Trump caused barely a year since his presidency began? In his own country with killings, mass deportations, withholding funds to states, tariffs that his own citizens have to pay, using US might to attack oil rich countries, coveting countries he sees as weakπŸ«…

very true. IMO for those who still have issues with whatever or whoever it was, finding forgiveness too hard a word, if we can say we are moving on and no longer attach ourselves to it, and leave it behind us, letting it go

How to ruin a political party: put the wrong person in charge; lie to voters, election promises worth nothing; imprison people for protesting against genocide; aid & abet Israel's rampage through MiddleEast; suck up to Trump with nothing in return; abandon the principles the party has stood for.

IMO the mess Labour made for themselves will only go on. Anyone stepping into Starmer's shoes will only inherit the downward spiral. A party focussed on "power" abandoning policy and principles. #NumptyParty
