Seemingly demure Chris is a quietly opinionated old hag who loves causing a stir. Her writing uses examples from her own life and in history in an effort to 'penetrate' and explore the inhuman, unequal nonsense surrounding us all. Left Twitter years ago.

Replacing Congress as a priority, at the core of our problems is that Congress is owned, and if we don’t elect real people to rewrite the laws, we won’t get any real change in the system! This is the moment right now, this year, to take back our government!

RFK Jr hits 'new low' with Trump's inner circle as they attempt to muzzle him: WSJ β€” Raw Story Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F.

RFK Jr. fumbled a measles outbreak, gutted mental health funding (then had to reverse it), and turned the FDA into a dumpster fire all in a few months. But sure, this is the guy who was going to fix America’s health crisis. πŸ™„

Now Trump is begging the U.K. and our other allies to send their war ships to the Persian Gulf to help bail him out from the illegal, unconstitutional and totally unnecessary war that he just started!

He's treated our allies like shit but now wants their help!
It's payback time Trump! OH HELL NO!!!

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

β€˜You are all worse than each other’: anti-regime Iranians turn on Trump Mood among some in Iran shifts from hope of being rescued to dismay at destruction of infrastructure, culture and lives

β€œThey are also lying! Like the regime has been lying to us,” said Amir, a student and anti-regime protestor. What about us, the ordinary Iranians?...Who can rebuild utter ruins?”

How do you not see that coming?

Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island. Our Weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the World has ever known but, for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision. During my First Term, and currently, I rebuilt our Military into the Most Lethal, Powerful, and Effective Force, by far, anywhere in the World. Iran has NO ability to defend anything that we want to attack - There is nothing they can do about it! Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon, nor will it have the ability to threaten the United States of America, the Middle East or, for that matter, the World! Iran's Military, and all others involved with this Terrorist Regime, would be wise to lay down their arms, and save what's left of their country, which isn't much!

Crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne no longer interested in Reform-Tory pact Donor who has given Β£12m to Reform UK had previously wanted Nigel Farage to keep open mind about deal with Conservatives

Crypto billionaire no longer interested in Reform-Tory pact.

He lives in Thailand, given Β£12m to Reform UK.

Farage pushes for wider adoption of cryptocurrency, promised to cut tax on crypto.

Another example of the super-rich buying power/influence, shaping public choices.

4 Killed in Crash of U.S. Refueling Plane in Iraq, Military Says

4 Killed in Crash of U.S. Refueling Plane in Iraq and the USA doesn't have a clue why???

"The crash was not because of hostile or friendly fire, U.S. Central Command said. Four crew members died, it said, bringing the number of U.S. service members killed in the Iran conflict to at least 11."

Historical women on banknotes Find out about the historical women on our banknotes. See how the images for the banknote designs were created.

2002-2016 we had Elizabeth Fry on the British five pound note

One thing that's often missed about Newham

The White population increased between the 2011 and 2021 Censuses, from 29% to 31%

That white people are moving in shows that they don't view it as 'no go' nor that there is a 'tipping point' of inevitable 'white flight'. Ppl rather *want* to live there

Is it safe for the King, a head of state to visit any country where heads of state are threatened?

We need to think of the King's safety as we would think of anyone else's.

I am sure that the POTUS will understand our concerns for our King.

Safety first, and on this occasion, the King's safety.
