Ros McMullen @rosmcm.bsky.social · 03/02/2026In all this hideous political mess, the person I feel sorriest for is Gordon Brown. Mandelson’s behaviour in Gordon’s govt sounds like treason to me, and I’d be devastated. 040

Ros McMullen @rosmcm.bsky.social · 21/01/2026I was driving while Trump delivered that speech; first time I’ve actually listened to his ramblings and my jaw was on the floor. Why was he not immediately sectioned afterwards? Either dangerous, deliberate lies or utterly mad. 020

Ros McMullen @rosmcm.bsky.social · 21/10/2025Let me help all these ridiculous journos out by pointing out that royalty is: 1. not a meritocracy 2. born into feeling entitled 3. not sackable (that is the whole point!) 4. throughout history they use women appallingly You want a royal family - you need to understand this! 000
Reposted by Ros McMullenTarik Abou-Chadi @tabouchadi.bsky.social · 21/10/2025To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms? 559421673
Ros McMullen @rosmcm.bsky.social · 20/10/2025The thing that baffles me is all these people being ‘deeply shocked that a member of the royal family would behave like this’. Have they read no history? Male royals entitled behaviour towards women is how it has always been. (Another reason why royalty is totally unsuitable for this age) 041
