An old woman was murdered, it seems. We were politically miles apart, polar even but the amount of terror and suffering she must have been put through has no political affiliation. This is not something to celebrate. It's absolutely horrendous. #ripannwiddecombe

@tommclaughlin.bsky.social This little girl has been rescued and re-homed in Dubai. She moved in yesterday. From a life in a cage to being read a book of yours. Meet Molly. I just wanted to show you when I saw the book.

I remember when it was on fire. I remember who caused it too (accidentally). If you're from Newport or environs , you'll have no doubt seen his murals.

To every cunt that slags me off for living in Dubai, I highly suspect not one of you would do this, day and and day out in your free time. We get zero financial support and we're all fucking skint. She's safe. Will cost me a fortune, like all the rest I've saved this week Fuck off

This is the first time in the last 5 weeks of this fucking shit-show, I can't sleep. The News is still off though. I've slept through ballistic and cruise missiles and a biblical storm but it seems the threat of Nuclear, just over the gulf has piqued me. Whiskey is it?

I'm in a country full of rich people, yet I'm going around with a begging bowl to save this dog. One post could pay her bills. The influencers and influx of rich folk couldn't give a shit. They're the tightest and most selfish people on this planet.

Absolute carnage earlier in one of my chat groups. One of the Brits made a joke and a German piped up not getting it and berating the poster and it was like 1942 and WW2 all over again with the Brits and Germans fighting. Can't make a joke about the situation. No. No. No. Was hilarious

Every time that deranged lunatic Trump posts, we're likely to get a raft of booms and these. The missiles increase a matter of hours later. Can someone put the cont in a straight jacket already? Thank God we have a practical iron dome. (Or whoever is managing his socials)

I'm not one for internet speculation as a rule. Especially here where we're conditioned now to fact check EVERYTHING, especially with the current circumstances but PLEASE BE TRUE and not just for a minor sniffle. Incapacitated is enough.

This conflict is like watching two football teams you can't stand playing each other and you want neither to win. (Except with added munitions being lobbed at us and the opposing side fucking up majorly) Even 0-0 is too good.

Claire Hopkin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇦🇪 @clairehopkin.bsky.social · 03/04/2026
The strange thing about this conflict & it's been quite lively again today is that many of us sat here have no side. We hate Trump & Israel but also cannot stand the regime who are lobbing the most munitions at us than anyone else. Impossible to have a side, so we're just stuck in the middle of it

Lil' me update. I'm about 3 months old. I've been vaxxed and chipped and I'm now fostered by Kevin & his wife. 🍀 I didn't name her Claire. I'm not that vain. I was part of the rescue team. As if I'd got to church!

They're MAD. 16 missiles already... We had a few days off. Still they're being intercepted. The forces guys and contractor were in Bahrain. The 8 fatalities here. sadly killed by falling debris. Apart from the alerts, most are going about our day to day lives. Otherwise you'd just go mad.

Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner have more businesses negotiating the sale of a villa on the Palm than trying to broker peace. At this stage I'd have more faith in two agents plucked from Dubai Palm's Five pool than these clowns.

Not like I haven't been telling you this for WEEKS. As I said a week or so ago, you'll be more affected than we will. We get the supplies first, we're sat on them. All that cheering our demise isn't looking quite as fun now. Eh?

2024 - more rain than I have ever seen 2026 - more lightning than I even thought possible. The deluge was intense but thankfully not 2024 levels. Bad but not THAT bad.

If weather isn't your thing then you probably need to stay away from UAE socials for the next 12 hours or so as that's all Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Umm Al Quwain, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujeirah will be talking about. Drones, what drones. Ooof that was LOUD
