I don't think Blue Sky is giving me what I hoped for. Lots of internal American politics when the real danger to the world lies in Gaza and Iran and Israeli attempts to destroy them. Anywhere with Zionists in control is not for me.

Have you ever read the Stone Book Quartet by Alan Garner? Not one of his best known books; four interlinked stories inspired by his stone mason ancestors. As a Cheshire lass's, albeit descended from salt miners and fustian cutters, it sings to me.

Make some noise. Share this post. 🚨 The Israeli government has granted itself another means to dehumanise, suppress, and kill Palestinians. Israel is violating international law.

If Starmer goes it will be another example of the negative effect the USA has on us. An honorable man with no connection to Epstein and his network punished whilst the rapist in chief remains.

My advice to Starmer and all our politicians. Don't take the bait of the orange nutter. Don't show offence, don't demand apologies,don't negotiate.Just ignore him, never refer to him. Let him believe the King's visit is going ahead. Imagine how stupid he will look when Charles doesn't arrive.

It is probably too much to ask to expect Americans to desist from commenting on governments other than their own. However there is no need for the BBC to lead on Musk's call for insurrection or the random opinions of the family of a victim of Epstein.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more. 📌 A stunning mural of the Statue of Liberty covering her face was unveiled in Roubaix, France, on July 3, 2025.

I do not agree with Starmer's populist language. For most of the people he is trying to please, immigration means small boats. Establishing an immigration centre in Calais would allow us to process demands speedily and take away trade from the people smugglers.

Lovely to chat with #ReformUK canvassers in Leek. They seemed confused about the status of their organisation and assured me that Mr Farage no longer in control. Suggested I check companies house so I did!

For those of you involved with SEND. I have just finished reading my granddaughter's updated EHC. I can maybe accept the appalling spellings and lack of ability to write in coherent sentences but the obvious cut and paste with the name of another child finished me off.

Education isn’t memorizing that Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Education is understanding how millions of ordinary Germans were convinced that it was required. Real education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself. We must never forget what hate does to us. #NeverAgain

“It was Starmer who changed the rules to make more prosecutions possible. That happened and there was a huge increase in convictions.” He also told @TheNewsAgents: "These girls are being exploited all over again. Politicians jumping on the bandwagon after years of silence is shameful".

Farage describes Musk as a champion of free speech for calling a woman who has spent her working life protecting women from abuse, a witch and a rape apologist. This isn't free speech it is mysogyny pure and simple.
