Remember when we had a NORMAL president who wasn't an ill-mannered, lazy, unintelligent child rapist? Damn, I miss that.

This is a book written by a wonderful person about her refugee parents who came to the UK due to WWII. It is a lesson in how refugees can end up contributing to UK society and bring love and friendship along the way despite the horrors they endured lnkd.in/p/eXgdRYxM

Oh wow. Trump has a new friend! The infantile orange twat thinks he has a new friend in the playground. Shows he has no concept of what friendship really is.

It's even easier. Cofnas & all other scientific racists fail to meet basic academic standards. They don't read or engage with evidence & their interpretation of data is demonstrably specious. Instead of doing good scholarly work, they hide behind "controversy". He has no business at a university.

Scientists are trying to tell us that climate change is happening faster than predicted, and that the public don’t understand the imminent danger, but the media refuses to put them on air. Why? @ProfBillMcGuire is Emeritus Professor of Geophysical & Climate Hazards at University College London.

3/ Research as been funded in an open and equitable manner with peer review sitting at the centre of the process. This has changed and will to the detriment of us all. As illustrated in this essay history tells us it's a long way back from here!

2/ As a scientist siting outside the USA it would be easy take a "serves you blood right" stance for allowing Trump into the White House. But that is a sentiment that must be voided. The USA has led scientific research for decades bringing enormous benefit to mankind.

This is an excellent and fascinating article well worth reading. It should be a concern not just for the USA but also the rest of the world.

So true about our media and their balanced approach that includes selected interviews. Agree there is far too little real analysis.

Just a friendly reminder. If the US had taken only a small fraction of the money and military equipment it has squandered fighting and losing to Iran, and instead helped Ukraine, the Middle East would be more stable and Russia would be facing defeat.

This is a classic example of following what local voters want rather than taking a political stance and arguing the positive reasons for it. In essence Nandy et al want to align with Reform's right wing view just to secure votes. FFS have the bottle to stand up for what most open minded voters want!

Long ago and far away, my great grandma was in service in one of the big houses in the Lake District. One day, the house had visitors. Not unusual to have visitors in big country houses just before the first world war. The women who were helped down from the car were thin. Starved, you might say,
