Agreed. What we saw yesterday was an attempt to kill as many Jews as possible in as short a time as possible. Nothing else.

This is horrible. Just disgusting and Letterman while less guilty should be ashamed too. And I am judging it by the standards of 1990s too. It was totally unacceptable even then

While Kneecap are serving up rubbish to the credulous at Glastonbury, there is a Pride celebration of real significance today. I salute everyone joining in on the streets of Budapest today. You are genuinely brave and please stay safe www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Budapest Pride expected to be a rallying cry against Orbán’s rollback of rights
Record numbers expected at march despite Hungary’s leader saying those attending will face ‘legal consequences’

I would add two things. 1. I doubt she knows the difference between a niqab and a burqa. 2. Burqas are very rarely seen in Britain. I have seen Niqabs but not often and I frequent massively more diverse places than Saffron Walden

In the last 24 hours Zia has clocked something the rest of us realised years ago. Amazing that a clearly capable man hasn’t worked it out until now but people are strange

Not a zealot either way on VAT on school fees….but I do note that it hasn’t stopped my old place from emailing me telling me that they are demolishing and rebuilding a structure I remember very well front time there @samfr.bsky.social @sundersays.bsky.social ….

Correct. For all her countless faults, Thatcher would have been utterly contemptuous of Trump personally and considered his policy positions somewhere between insane, offensive and treasonous

Clem Burke gone. That hits very hard. Debbie is obviously the star of the show. It’s Chris Stein’s song (and his girlfriend). Jimmy Destri is cool af. But the world class drummer propels this into orbit youtu.be/TU3-lS_Gryk

Steel City Derby recommended. Objectively terrible match but I can feel the tension without either result ruining my day - which makes it compelling. Must be hell to watch for both Blades and Owls

Completely unsurprising. Happened with the mad Liz Truss. Now happening with the bad and dangerous to know Trump

Just had the pettiest but most intensely satisfying victory at work. It meant precisely zero but I have been goal celebrations around the office. Get in.

I accept that Starmer and Lammy had to be polite and will continue to be but we know where we stand and Zelensky should have kneed Trump and Vance in the groin before walking out

At least everyone should know where they stand now and we have witnessed the final humiliation of Boris Johnson in real time. Good news and Slava Ukraini

Mark Meadowcroft @mellotrono.bsky.social · 19/02/2025
Ukrainians now finding out for themselves that Johnson is a disgraceful snivelling shit. Not their biggest concern right now but on behalf of decent British people, we know, we expected this and we are sorry.

Badenoch is perhaps the most profoundly unserious politician in the UK, and we have Truss, Galloway and Corbyn on the pitch so that's quite an achievement.
