When I was a child, I was always very worried about my father working in London, due to the risk of IRA bombs. This is despite the fact I always thought Ireland should a united country and that my country (the UK) had done terrible things - as does he! I feel there’s something in that.

Bit annoyed that possibly we’re all fucked because some Americans couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a black woman. Just shows that the western world has had a pretty sweet life for the past 80 odd years I guess.
🇬🇧 "Putin personally gave the order." Britain imposes new sanctions over Novichok attack. The sanctions apply to 8 Russian GRU officers for attempted murder of Yulia and Sergei Skripals. Sanctions will also affect three more GRU officers for planning terrorist attacks in Ukrainian supermarkets.
This has to be the most pig-ignorant fucking comment anyone ever made, on so many levels. But what do we expect from a bunch of russian agents and sycophants?
My daughter’s music teacher, who is Irish, complimented my tea making. That’s a big compliment, right?
🇫🇷🇺🇦 Macron: We first called for a ceasefire in March of this year, Zelensky agreed, Russia said no. There was another proposal in June, we worked on it, Russia said no.
Why would they want to lose their humanity to become Russian style Orcs?
You’d think it would be the first thing they’d think of 🤔
If Russia wanted peace, they would stop killing Ukrainians. If the US wanted peace, they would stop Russia.
What if whenever fascists -Reform, MAGA etc- spoke, the whole world pretended we couldn’t understand them. That would be fun!

Just found out people don't like it when you say that Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in US history." Oops, sorry, I accidentally said it.

Thinking about all the news re Nigel Farage being racist at school. I don’t think many of us are surprised. I don’t think I’ve changed my own basic principles much since being at school. You may change the detail or the label you put on your views, but most people’s core principles stay the same.
The two child cap is something that should never have existed in the first place. My criticism of the Labour govt is that they didn’t remove it immediately, not that they’ve finally done so now. No child asks to be born.
If you need proof that when Reform UK politicians wave the 🇬🇧Union Flag🇬🇧, it's not patriotism, it's just manipulation. The Reform Party leader, waving the Union Jack in this photo was literally a Russian Spy.
They are aware that Russians quite literally wrote the capitulation document that some people in the White House and sadly many people in the media refer to as a peace plan.
Congressional Republicans including Senator Mitch McConnell are openly blasting President Trump’s team of appeasing Russia, warning that doing so would not lead to lasting peace.
Reform UK & Nigel Farage hate media scrutiny, it shows them up for the hypocrites they are. Reform’s ‘Trumpian’ legal threats hint at more aggressive approach to media www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Surely to goodness Farage is finally finished now?
Remember when the trump administration colluding with the Kremlin was a "democrat hoax"?

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.
