Paddington Bear is universally loved and as a character he is ingenious and morally upstanding. I’m not quite sure this characterisation is the Machiavellian move she thinks it is.

If anyone can spare even the tiniest of amounts to help us get this kittie to its new home that would be so much appreciated

In 2025 I rescued a cat from the streets. He was in a horrific condition. He’s been nursed back to health thanks to the kindness of a good friend. We’re now fundraising to cover the costs to send him to his new home in the UK. Even the smallest of amounts would be appreciated gofund.me/f2cb9b4a9

That’s fair. If they are talking about it I’m certainly not seeing it being covered. But frankly when they are going down the road of motions on Zionism being racism nonsense then no wonder it isn’t being picked up

Very depressing. For a brief minute they seemed to be offering a hopeful alternative that was aligned to tackling the issues of our times. Now it’s all nutty divisive positions and seemingly no voice on the environment

I don’t understand why Rees-Mogg is making such a weak argument about why entering WW2 was a bad idea. Had we not defeated the Nazis that would have had catastrophic consequences for the UK. We would have been at the mercy of an evil regime. Also the holocaust!? No mention of that!?

I agree with every word. Spending time with animals, be it my own pets, wild animals or those being kept in horrible conditions has taught me so much in my life about compassion and meaning.

Very sad to see she passed. She did so much for this noble cause. Not to mention setting up Childline. A real changemaker.

Heather B @heatcb.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
I’m not sure who you mean by he. I don’t doubt she had an awful childhood and this contributed to her mental state. Nor do I think anyone should face the death penalty. But she did brutally kill another person so I struggle to extend much sympathy to her personally given that.

Heather B @heatcb.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
The death penalty is abhorrent and shouldn’t be practiced. But I struggle to feel any sympathy on a human level for this woman. She brutally took the life of another human being. She clearly had a traumatic childhood but many people do and manage to avoid murdering others.

PE ruins everything part 963 Honestly there really needs to be curbs on PE buying up essential services. It’s bad enough PE bringing restaurants and shops to their knees but this should be regulated against.

If this is her position then why doesn’t she voluntarily head back to where she thinks she came from? I feel like England would be a less nasty place without her so if she could self deport that would be great. Maybe she will find her lost soul on the journey ‘home’

Yes. And I think we all know that the current state provision is not affordable either so don’t feel we can even trust that will be there by the time my generation retire

People aren’t saving enough because the cost of living is so high and wages have not increased. Throw in a diabolical jobs market and it’s easy to see why people aren’t saving. There is no money spare after living!

Instead Jim the Rat Ratcliffe blames immigrants and the lack of exploitation (exploitation that he hugely financially benefits from) of N.Sea oil. Jim can get in the North Sea and sink as far as I’m concerned

Jim Ratcliffe can get in the bin. Maybe the UK might be in a better state if wealthy people put their money back into the system instead of going to Monaco? Or perhaps they could donate some of their huge wealth to needy causes?

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

It may not happen immediately but I do hope/wonder if them trying to rinse money for every single interaction will mean an alternative may emerge. I was on Instagram earlier and it was suggesting I could pay to see which of my friends had viewed my story. This is my personal account. Er nope. 👎

Oh 100% and they designed it so that organic reach would die so they could take all the money. There must be another way to find people? I’m stumped if I know what it is though! I just wish someone would create a new less evil platform (here is good but it’s not good for marketing)

Are they facing financial difficulties (that they are obv hiding) as also saw they are also trying to get personal accounts to sign up to subs so posts can be found in your friend’s feeds. Something that should be a complete basic for a social media platform. People will soon vote with their feet.

There’s obviously a lot going on right now, but a Russian oligarch bankrolling the wedding of the president’s son is the kind of story that should dominate headlines in any functioning political culture.

At a basic level this is also just really tight fisted. He can afford to pay for his own wedding but instead chooses to be beholden to a Russian gangster

Should I have done something to try and explain to her how negatively her actions were for the bird? I felt that most likely would not have gone well. But I also feel so guilty and sad that this poor creature is living in that way and I did nothing. I hate people. If AI wipes us out we deserve it

In the latest episode of humans are shit. Today I was at an ice cream parlour & a lady came in with a live Toucan in a closed transparent bag. The poor bird was clearly distressed & trying to escape. She was treating this living being like it was an accessory. It completely broke my heart.

One of many horrible examples of how human infrastructure disrupts the natural world. And we laugh at them for being foolish. When we are the foolish ones for building a world that doesn’t support the natural environment we need to continue as a species.
