Swapped Blighty for Cyprus in 2007 - one of my better decisions. Hate what Brexit has done to the UK. Waiting for my Cypriot Citizenship & EU passport.

Lovely old Swanage never changes. Used to take my daughter there for girly breaks away from her older brothers, once a year when she was a toddler, about 30 yrs ago. We'd stay in a little apartment perched up the cliff above the beach - over a hundred steps to climb! and Punch & Judy on the sand.

FFS! When the US went to the polls, just over half of those who voted decided to shit the bed 🙄 Reminds me of Brexit, where 52% of UK voters proverbially shat the bed & two countries were taken out of the EU against their vote.

If this is true... this will be the most depraved and evil things either #Trump or #Musk, has done so far... ever I truly hope it is fake. Or at worst a passing comment or vague hint at best

The author reminds us of “the “smoky room experiment”. In this study, when a person is alone in a room that begins to fill with smoke, three-quarters raise the alarm within minutes. Yet, when surrounded by others who remain passive, only 10% take action. This is the “bystander effect”,

So, Farage struts around on stage in the US, slagging off the UK and the EU, blaming anything but Brexit for us being poorer and unhappier and crawling up Trump’s backside… What a repulsive spectacle he is. If you actually could be put in prison here for ‘saying anything’ he’d be my top pick.

And these are the mass graves, in a forest outside Izium, where occupying Russian forces dumped the bodies of the civilians they murdered. 445 bodies were retrieved by the Ukrainian troops who liberated Izium. To witness this scene, in a European country in 2025, shook me to my core.
