Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I am not so much reminded of the 1930s. It’s African dictators like Mugabe, Amin and Banda. Like them he has an army of zealots willing to murder in order to suppress dissent, embezzles money from the state for his personal enrichment and breaks the law with impunity. Oh America. Time to rise up. 000

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Re prison overcrowding: Instead of releasing violent men early, how about we release enough women to clear out an entire prison, as most of them are unlikely to pose a physical threat to anyone. Then re-purpose the prison to accommodate all the violent males. 000
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 21/08/2026There’s a rumour that Megan Markle is to make an acting comeback with a role in the UK, which would explain Harry and Meghan returning to live here.

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Trump is clearly preparing the ground for a populist coup following his inevitable election defeat. This is actually dangerous and needs to be taken seriously. 020
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 02/08/2026They’re banging on about migrants in small boats again on the news. THE WORLD IS BURNING!! I really think people getting on boats to try to get to the UK is a side issue. Priorities, people! The weather is calm. Ideal for crossing the channel. Overall, migration is down. This is really not a story. 010

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 01/07/2026I supported and admire Keir Starmer so had no appetite for change in leader. That being said, I really hope Andy Burnham takes the opportunity to make a real policy shift, get rid of the toxic Shabana Mahmood and put a stop to the measures which in comparison make Priti Patel look moderate. 360

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 15/06/2026Kids will find ways to circumvent a SM ban. They’re also great at finding ways around alcohol and drug laws. Paedophiles are not stopped by the laws preventing CSA either. So should we not legislate against any of these harmful things? A responsible society steps up and works to protect children. 010

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 12/06/2026#ElonMusk is repulsive. Literally makes me feel ill. He could use his wealth to end world hunger. But he doesn’t. He uses it to publicise himself with his vanity projects. He’s a truly appalling human being. 001
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 10/06/2026The issue that needs addressing is not immigration, or border control. The issue is violent young men. Not ‘young people’ as always reported. Young MEN. Football violence, political violence, domestic violence. Always perpetrated by the same young men. 000
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 09/06/2026News reports from Northern Ireland. Reporters say there are ‘people’ on the street, masked and violent. Be specific. Not ‘people’. The word is ‘men’. Violent men who want a fight. They really don’t care what the issue is that they pretend to be enraged about. It’s always men. 000

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 27/05/2026There are people who use social media for nauseating self-promotion, with endless advice and trite bollocks dressed up as support, self-satisfied faux empathy and smug humble-bragging (usually about their amazing offspring).

Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 19/05/2026WHO are sounding the alarm from DR Congo. The US has pulled all funding so fighting Ebola is a real problem. I’m surely not alone in wishing someone with the virus could go into the White House and lick all the cutlery. 021
Kate Stafford @katestafford.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Let me get this straight. Trump is suing the US government in order to extort $1.7bn from working US people who have paid their taxes. He plans to then bribe the Jan6 insurrectionists to ensure the MAGA base stays loyal for the mid terms. He will do absolutely anything to stay in power. 010
