Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Is the withdrawal of US bombers from a Gloucestershire UK airfield a result of increased threat from Iran, or maybe it’s to trigger fear in advance of the mid terms One of the recent intruders phoned the Police! Trump told the world that US had been tracking them!!! 000
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 04/10/2026And we think William Rees Mogg is a right wing nutter!! (Technical phrase) vm.tiktok.com/ZN8hKLBhw/vm.tiktok.comThat Would Be Telling on TikTok 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 04/10/2026So have I got this right? Tennessee wants to execute people using a fatal injection, but, medically regulated people- doctors - nurses - can’t do it as it’s a breach of their oath - do no harm etc - so unregulated people to do it - using drugs they can’t get over the counter - wow! 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 22/09/2026How kind of Donald Trump to say he can work with another NATO member - Britain! But he still craves attention by criticising the Chagos situation - World Court rules against us - do we ignore it? Can US war planes still use it ? Yes No hand over of Chagos Islands, unlike the Falklands ! Joke 110
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Trump will go down in history as the President who tried to ignore the constitution, for the purposes of personal and political enrichment. Whether or not he succeeds is a test of US democracy 011
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 30/08/2026When Donald Trump proposes to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America - surely, and in all modesty, he should name it Lake Trump! Obviously he is wrongly advised, by Lilliputians 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 07/08/2026So Iran is now engaged in this war to bring about regime change? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...theguardian.comIran hopes to deal Trump a blow at midterms by keeping him entangled in warBy dragging out talks, Tehran aims to damage the US president politically, but some fear a bruised and weakened Trump could only prolong the conflict 020
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 15/07/2026It can be quite amusing watching Trumps policies changing overnight - like a wobbly wheel on a supermarket shopping trolley - but where does scorn actually get you. Surely the question is how do citizens bring about change -popular upswells, voting .. better than sarcasm and scorn 031
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 24/06/2026This did not age well - oh dear Donald www.facebook.com/share/v/1G3K...facebook.com 001
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Always interesting to hear Donald Trump opine - “Keir Starmer had 2 problems - energy, immigration and crime” Woeful 130
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Always good to see peace breaking out in Lebanon, after the greatest ever diplomatic deal 000
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 18/06/2026It must be such a relief to Americans - an end to hostilities in Lebanon, €300bn reconstruction fund for Iran, phasing out of sanctions on Iran, and reopening the straits of Hormuz etc By the way - how is this better than Obama’s deal, that Trump ripped up? 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 06/05/2026Going to bed last night - USA was assuring ships free passage through the Gulf of Hormuz, using their vast navy and aerial superiority. Getting up this morning, the situation is reverting to status quo ie no passage of ships through the Gulf of Hormuz. The grand old Duke of York …. ( not that one!) 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 28/04/2026It’s a funny old world when our King can talk about the limits on executive power, yet the US President sees no boundaries!! 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 28/04/2026And there was me thinking that Jimmy Kimmels gag about Melania being an “expectant widow” was a reference to Trumps age!! 000
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Great to see Artemis finally setting for the Trump Moon - it should be US territory - we found it - no one else was there and we planted a flag - after Trump Greenland perhaps - who knows And Mr Macron - your wife is fit - and who hasn’t had a crush on a teacher!! 000
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Why do ordinary Iranians - working people and families - deserve to be bombed back into the Stone Age? To help them to rise up and take power. Incoherent 000
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Just wondering what value there would be for Iran to conclude an agreement with USA. Is it not a precedent that an incoming government unilaterally rips up an agreement, as with Trump and the previous President’s Iran nuclear deal? Or am I missing something? 000
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 22/03/2026I’m just an old union negotiator, but it seems to me that it is difficult to organise peace talks - settlement talks - when you have killed or injured the leadership ( including their wives, families and children) of your opponent. 000
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Interesting St Patricks day photo - the Orange one with the Irish Prime Minister. Trump points to the bust of Winston Churchill, admiringly. That would be the same Winston Churchill who launched the para military Black and Tans to terrorise the Irish who wanted independence Oops 001
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Coventry was one of the finest Medieval cities in Europe The Lufwaffe carried out a massive raidon the evening of 14 November 1940 and continued into the morning of 15 November. They levelled the city Did the population demand regime change? The reverse was true Are Iranians any different? 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 11/03/2026When Trump threatens Iran with a level of damage never seen before - he merely confirms his ignorance. I live near Coventry - levelled by the Luftwaffe - Dresden, another medieval city was levelled in revenge - and then we come to Hiroshima and Nagasaki - without mentioning Gaza Ignoramus 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Having failed to secure the Nobel Peace prize, Trump having announced that Irans nuclear programme has been obliterated, joins Israel in bombing Iran ( America first?) and assassinated its leader. Negotiations seem likely to be frosty, as the new Irans leaders father, mother, wife and some kids died 011
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 04/03/2026I see Pete Hegseth celebrating the sinking of an Iranian navy ship. Imagine the consequences, military and political, if the reverse had applied. Directly engaging with your opponent carries risk - and there is always the unexpected 011
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 04/03/2026“We are not dealing with Winston Churchill” a journalist - no but why was it a shock that a distinguished international lawyer was unwilling to break international law? Get real - and by the way, when is Barron signing up for active duty ? 100
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 01/03/2026I’m not exactly a fan of Hilary Clinton, always has an air of superiority which grates with me, but she’s not a bad person, and if she can give deposed evidence re Epstein, given that she didn’t know him, never met him, why not a big Hollywood star and international stateswoman, Melania Trump? 000
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 01/03/2026How do you secure regime change with air strikes? What’s the plan? 300
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Just remind me - when did Congress authorise a declaration of war? 221
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 23/02/2026There are two men in this photo. One has just been arrested for misconduct in public office, arising from revelations in the Epstein files. The other one says it’s just a Democrat plot, a hoax and people should move on. How can MAGA supporters not see this? 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 22/02/2026I can’t help feeling that Trump describing the Supreme Court Justices as “fools and lapdogs for… the radical left”is as unwise, as it is inaccurate. 132
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 20/02/2026My grasp of colonial history may be feeble, but wasn’t the Boston Tea Party essentially a protest about import tariffs? Just asking 010

Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Trump says it’s a Democrat hoax , better to move on Dig and what do you find? And maybe look at why Florida did not pursue matters - after all paedophilia is unlawful, as well as being repugnant, Ms Bondi www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c7...bbc.co.ukAndrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public officeIt comes after Thames Valley Police said they were assessing a complaint over the alleged sharing of confidential material by the former prince with Jeffrey Epstein. 083
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 19/02/2026Trump on Chagos islands is like a winky supermarket trolley wheel. He criticised a “tenuous,at best, 100 year lease” Only someone with contempt for the rule of law says that Similarly ignoring the rulings of international courts And describing returning those forcibly evicted as “woke” - Dear me! 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 18/02/2026In UK 7 Police forces are pursuing enquiries relating to child trafficking and insider financial dealings For some obscure reasons, it’s not seen as a Democrat hoax, and folk are unwilling to just move on Funny old world 010
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 16/02/2026If the Donald is enable to stand for a third term….. and Obama stood against him, on the same basis, I know who I would put my money on to win, and I don’t gamble!! 2113
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 15/02/2026Simple question: has anyone been arrested since the publication ( albeit substantially redacted) of the Epstein files? 210
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 31/01/2026Saw a lovely review of “Melania” If it had been shown as the film during a flight I still would have walked out! 3120
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 31/01/2026As the Epstein files slowly emerge, heavily redacted, only 3 people have so far been held accountable - all British. Curious don’t you think? 2111

If the ICE funding allocated in the Republican Big Ugly Bill goes through, this scene will be exponentiated across the country. ICE is a rogue, unaccountable, paramilitary force. 26280183
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 22/01/2026It is all very well Trump seeking a positional bargaining stance by saying that he wasn’t sure America’s Nato allies “would be there for us” in US-led military operations, apparently forgetting the British and other soldiers lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the recent boat seizure. Won’t forget! 161
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Just watched Trump in Davos - overwhelming feeling is one of embarrassment - and bewilderment - how could sentient people vote for him? 040
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 21/01/2026It is very obvious how Europe should respond to military and other threats from a lawbreaking autocratic dictator - they should send in a special forces team to seize him and put him on trial in The Hague for the well documented sexual and other matters, alongside security breaches. Equity? 020
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 18/01/2026Trumps Greenland nonsense makes me wonder how Alaskans might feel if Canada adopted a similar stance, given the Trump says America does not want Russian as a neighbour! 020
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Any help will be appreciated Armistice has been continuously commemorated since 1921 in this small English midland town. It has been nominated for a UNESCO designation www.facebook.com/share/p/1Cii...facebook.comRedirecting... 020
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Have I missed something - are the Epstein files lodged in Greenland? 031
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Trump says there is no way Venezuela can hold elections - but Ukraine can! Genius!!! 031
Owen Granfield @owengranfield.bsky.social · 05/01/2026An obvious solution to the desire to own and control Greenland would be to send over an attack team, arrest the King of Denmark and take him for trial in New York Only a mad person would advocate such a move What’s the difference with Venezuela? 020
