Not much opposition to firing squads or lethal injections then; just the public spectacle of lethal vengeance? 🤔

What happens in the run-up to elections? Trump will tell US truckers & farmers that the reason for their shortage of diesel & high prices, is due to Ukrainian bombing & nothing to do with his war with Iran 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

Likewise it seems Trump's regime has merely lifted the curtain on a society that has never acknowledged its barbarous origins steeped in genocide, ethnic cleansing & slavery Sadly it's a side of humanity not exclusive to the US

I genuinely don't understand from where Badenoch & Mahmood got hold of the mythical 70s being less hostile to ethnic minorities In the mid 70s the HO under pressure to react to immigration, cancelled a large number of NHS work permits giving people days to pack up & leave Racism was rife

Israel should be treated like its previous ally, apartheid South Africa The racist abuse alone surrounding their recent UEFA outing against Ireland should be enough to warrant a total sports ban & as for Eurovision, "nul points" all round would be a good start As for Smotrich, the ICC awaits
