Anti Tory/Reform/Trump. Pro Starmer, Pro Burnham, it's not either or. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Don't be fooled into thinking billionaires care about fair wages, public services & your rights. Cat mum to Alice & Phoebe York, England

Just heard former US Governor Jim Gilmore on BBC talking about the upcoming firing squad execution of an ex soldier on death row. He said it "shows what a civlised country USA is" by making it clear they won't tolerate such criminals. US has most ppl in prison in the West and the highest crime

No BBC this is not "embarrassing" for UK & trans Atlantic relations. The embarrassment is squarely & solely on the US. They've had their ass whooped. Iran & its proxies still wreaking havoc. The world more unsafe. The world poorer. US military severely depleted. BILLIONS And US bombers running home

Utterly baffling- UK Media spinning the US bombers leaving UK as an embarrassment for UK! No mention that a military superpower just spent the most $$$ on record on a war justified by making US & the world safer. Meanwhile gulf allies bombed, US bases bombed (most now inoperable) & Iran not cowed.

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

United States of America is just one of those backward shithole countries. Where Presidents launch violent coups, steal money, control big business, order the rounding up of innocent ppl, shoot & kill dissenters, put military at election stations. And execute ppl for revenge/justice. And botch it.

This is a truly shocking interview. The usual far right claims of Britain in decline, the rich leaving, need to be nice to rich ppl, immigrants out 9f control & taking over. And the BBC didn't push back on ANY of these faceless claims. My opinion on BBC couldn't be any lower.

When listening to radio phone ins or tv current affairs programmes, I listen out for 2 code phrases. 1) lack of doctors/infrastructure, 2) concerns about women/girls/crime. Then I know they're either NIMBY, Racist & often both. Then verbal gymnastics oncoming to justify.

So Ed Sheeran says "both sides are suffering" in response to the furore. Ed the comment made was not about suffering, it was about Palestine becoming free. Anyone objecting to that statement is denying the bloody law. The law says Palestine is occupied. In other words not free.
