As well as this being totally barbaric for a so called civilised country to do, don't the morons realise that having this terrorist's death filmed and sent widely across the internet will elevate his position as a martyr to radical muslims and encourage more attacks in the future.

As usual, Bernie's message is clear, simple and enlightening. America would be so much better if this man was in charge.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I have decided not to go after looking forward to attending this tournament for years. The picture of the fascist pumpkin gurning as he gives the World Cup trophy to the winning captain makes me sick to the stomach.

The world probably seems a lot better upside down! I might try and do one tomorrow and check. It's been about 20 years since my last handstand, so it will be a quick glimpse and very shaky ! 😁

Trump's cronies at the DOJ and FBI will have gone through the Epstein files, and would have released them by now if there wasn't something to hide. There is clearly something that they don't want revealed .. be it against Trump or someone he wants to protect.

I fear for Japan if Takaichi or Kobayashii become PM. The world is shifting dangerously to the right .. blaming the foreigners is almost always where authoritarianism starts!

Well, it was a democratic election and more people voted for Labour than any of the other political parties / candidates. Good or bad depends on your rosette!! If the turnout was low that's disappointing but the range of representation and relatively even distribution of votes is good in my opinion.

The idea that Trump is a Christian or even believes in Christian values is laughable. I'm an agnostic atheist but recognise the goodness in my family and friends who are Christian ... Trump has none of their qualities.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...
