Born the year WWII ended. Lived through an era of optimism when you could wake up in the morning and be hopeful about the day. Now saddened by the gratuitous acts of self harm inflicted upon future generations by the gross incompetence of our Politicians

Mark Carney’s address to the European Union in Strasbourg today should be required listening for everyone in the United Kingdom and USA.

Andrei Federov, Former Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia advised that measures will be taken against the UK for supporting Ukraine. He was told that the measures proposed would be contrary to International Law. He said no one cares about International Law anymore, right out of the Trump playbook.

The inadequates Kushner and Whitkoff were negotiating a nuclear deal with the Iranians in Pakistan when Netanyahu flew into the White House and left without fanfare and Trump ordered the attack on Iran while they were talking. Facts, truth, reality and evidence don’t figure in Trump’s fevered brain.

Trump vows retaliation for the deaths of American servicemen that he sent to an illegal war on instructions from Netanyahu. Surely he got his retaliation in first when he murdered 190 school children and countless other Iranians.

@cnn.com Watching Trump at the NATO summit in Ankara and I’m terrified. The man is completely insane, he is rambling and making totally ridiculous statements, claims and threatening the world using words that only a power drunk madman would use. Please America get rid of him.

Trump is holding a press conference at the G7 as I post this. It is absolutely clear that the man is dangerously insane.

Sir David Attenborough is a national hero 💚🌍 To celebrate his 100th birthday and all he’s done to inspire us to protect our planet, he should be honored with a permanent statue. Agree? Join me by signing @JohannaBaxter MP’s petition: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

He’s brought the natural world into our hearts and homes for decades, and fought to protect our planet.
We should honour him properly with a statue to show our appreciation for everything he’s done for us 🌍💚

Trump is right, today he destroyed a civilisation. It wasn’t a 7000 year old civilisation it was a 250 year old civilisation. No one will consider the USA civil again.

Is the Civilisation that Trump says will end at 20:00 tonight the United States of America. Because if he carries out his threat no one will regard America as a civilised country again.

I’m now more convinced than ever that Trump Vance and the rest are completely devoid of any kind of self awareness. Vance is standing alongside Victor Orban praising him saying he has come to give his and Trump’s support just before the election complaining about foreign interference in elections.

Mel Stride on Sunday with Lara Kuensberg. I find the lack of self awareness and ability to self select facts truth and evidence unbelievable. He said the Civil Service is too big and has grown since 2016. He’s forgotten we needed 50,000 more Civil Servants to deal with the Post Brexit Burocracy

"One apparent constant in contemporary UK politics is Nigel Farage’s ability to mobilise a sense of grievance among those who regard themselves as English... His ability to drag the other parties onto his terrain is a classic success story of what political scientists call issue salience."

Nigel Farage and the political power of English grievance
The Conservatives and Labour have allowed resentment to fester in the biggest part of the UK – and the only region not to have its own parliament

Watching the Ceremony of Remembrance of VE Day 80 years ago I’m forced to wonder how different it might have been if Isolationist America had joined the war in 1939 and not 1942 after Pearl Harbour. The War might have been over in a year and the Holocaust would never have happened.
