Centrist politically - equally frustrated by the far left & the far right Love cinema & theatre - especially comedies The trouble with being a realist in the 2020s is that you can need a LOT of cheering up

Farage has been caught red-handed by Verbatim seeking illegal funding for Reform And his excuse when he's caught on camera with the Verbatim guys... He "wasn't listening" so can't possibly be guilty of knowing anything Is that not the *most pathetic* excuse you've ever heard? 🤦‍♂️ #Farage #Reform

1/2 I'd like to put this out as a *theory* - NOT a claim or a belief - just a theory for comment What if Russia intended to become embroiled in a long term war with Ukraine rather than a short term action? But why? I hear you ask At first sight there's no point. But... #Ukraine #NATO

This is not who we are. This is not who we have always been. This is Christian Nationalist drivel.
Screenshot of a post from the official @StateDept (U.S. Department of State) account on X.com, stating that 250 years ago the forefathers gathered for a national day of fasting and prayer, and that Americans will come together again as one Nation under God, concluding with "This is who we are and who we've always been." Below the text is a photo of a man in a dark suit with a red tie speaking against a blue background, identifiable as Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan. Trump avoided military service 5 times. How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

Nathan Gill has been sentenced to 10½ yrs for bribery by the Russian gov Meanwhile Nigel Farage has taken much the same pro-Russian lines & was also paid by Russia But because it was via Russia Today/RT apparently that makes it OK? Does it make it OK? I don't think so #Farage #Gill #Reform

The Telegraph is effectively helping to facilitate a possible £1bn payment by the British people to Donald Trump That's about £40 per household They might want to think about that a bit before they buy their morning paper in future... #Trump #Telegraph #BBC

Very sadly I think that Mr Comey's confidence may be misplaced In Trump's America your actual innocence or guilt increasingly doesn't matter What is important is your submission to The Leader But I wish him the very greatest of luck during the trials (No pun intended) ahead
