Retired. Doing a bit of volunteering. Escaped here from X to avoid right wing toxicity and conspiracy theories. Exiled Brighton supporter so learned resilience over the years. No DMs please.

Terribly sad. Cases like this need to be matters of internal enquiry and not trial by media & social media. Another massive reminder that we desperately need media refoms.

I just heard about it, really shocking and very very sad. The racists turned the the whole story into something far bigger than it should have been just because he was black. He did not deserve this at all.

Strange isn't how Elon Musk told everyone to mark this post, then he deleted it. Must have been a mistake. Let me repost it for him.

Individual service people have a responsibility not to obey illegal orders. To do so is to commit a war crime. "I was only following orders" doesn't cut it. Trump may be ill, evil or both but this stuff can only happen if his political and military subordinates allow it and actively participate.

Being in England, I had to Google Lee Zeldin. He looks like an equally awful piece of work so heaven help us!

They know what they say is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. The media know that what they repeat is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Their supporters know what they are told is untrue, they do not care it is untrue. Telling the truth is not enough, unless people care about the truth.

As National Security Adviser, I was often at the UK’s HQ in Helmand, Camp Bastion. Too often, the tannoy would announce medevac helicopters inbound. The huge base w’d fall silent, out of respect for the young men or women who were fighting for their lives. No, they had not stayed a little back.

Given recent events, I'm even more worried about US plans to start storing nuclear weapons at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk (England). I live in Suffolk and it's not very reassuring. The last nuclear weapons they had were removed about 15 years ago but it looks like we'll be back in the firing line.

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.

I didn't expect a Labour govt to solve all the problems left to them by the Tories, but I also didn't expect them to:- Attack disabled people Attack older people Attack benefit claimants Attack trans people Attack peaceful protestors Attack asylum seekers Massive disappointment all round.

Like the Nazi he is Trump has demanded an apology from Bishop Mariann Budde. Like if he should apologize to her. RT if the orange felon is the worst president ever.

I deleted my toxic X/Twitter account some time ago. Now I've deleted Facebook, Instagram and Threads in an effort to rid myself of Trump's tech bro disciples and their algorithms. I hope Bluesky can remain clean for a while at least. I shan't be watching them all sat grinning at the Inauguration.

This will only get worse in 2025. Very worried that money from Musk (and others) will be funding right-wing pro-Russian politicians here in the UK too, feeding on disappointment in our new government and a pathetic official opposition to fire up misguided populism.

It's hard to estimate the extent to which Musk is a threat to democracy and peace. I'm sure it's worse than my poor brain can imagine.

So the Postal Minister (clearly second class) is the only person in the country who's surprised at this!

King Charles inherited £650m tax free, gets £125m a year tax free from the tax payer and has an estate worth £22bn that’s never taxed. But he still needed a 45% pay rise. Like if he needs a pay cut. RP if you want the Monarchy gone. #AbolishTheMonarchy

I’ve finally come off X and hope for a more pleasant experience here without the toxic rubbish and un-wanted ads etc. I’ll never have loads of followers but maybe I’ll find a more welcoming environment more like the old Twitter used to be!
