If the attack on the Manchester Synagogue was connected to Gaza it is absurd to suggest that the terrorist took no action over the many months of slaughter of men, women and so many children and only carried out his attack when Starmer recognised Palestine.

People in Britain, whatever their religion, ethnicity or culture should feel safe because then we are all safer. We should also be free to express our opinions and demonstrate about things we take seriously. Both things can be true and very desirable and right.

Trump bullies and sues and screams insults at critical media and individuals who criticise him. Starmer is accused of in influencing independent judicial decisions in some unspecified way. These things are not the same.

How will Farage get out of saying that he has ‘no idea’ on Trumps dangerous assertions about paracetamol and autism? Will he come up with an idea - days later? He would be dangerous in Number 10!

We should measure a country, not by the guns the people carry, or the god they claim to serve, nor the leaders who rant and rave, but by the comedians who mock them all.

Rich people tell poor people to blame brown people .

Jimmy Kimmel (American late night show host) has been cancelled for expressing the wrong opinions. Trump and MAGA are silencing dissenting voices in America and yet lectures the UK on our freedoms. Good luck America.

Imagine the reaction of the flag painters if a Muslim Imam had said this. “Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die.” Of course they are happy that Musk said it.

Before people like me get ‘purged’ off X at the behest of the Trump administration I would like to point out that America is closing down free speech - not the UK. Good luck America.

Musk is encouraging the violent overthrow of the UK Government and should be banned from entering the UK.

Apparently the Lucy Connolly tweet was never written and if it was written it was never sent and even if it was sent it was never seen by anyone and if it was seen by anyone it was about fluffy puppy dogs! Have I got that right?

I don’t want unlimited and uncontrolled immigration nor an influx of offenders and certainly (and most unlikely) a Country run according to Islam nor any other religion - I just don’t use or encourage hate of people with brown skin to make my point.

Since Musk wants to bring down our elected UK government, and talks about civil war, should he be refused entry to the UK?

Trump and Neville Chamberlain have something in common - giving way to the demands of violent dictators.

It is obvious we need to control immigration and that the people arriving in small boats should end but politicians who weaponise people’s anxieties and encourage them to hate all people with brown skin and pretend to have the answers are part of the problem - and have no solutions.

Who wouldn’t want to own a UK water company from which you can profit richly and don’t need to invest in and can dump sewage when and where you like. Kerching!

I have a feeling that this Labour Government could invent a cure for cancer and yet screw up the messaging and marketing such that people would think they invented a new cancer.

Starmer referred to ‘strangers’ in a recent speech. Of some 70 million people in the UK - almost all of them are strangers to me and that’s fine and a fact of life.

Police apparently WRONG if they don’t disclose everything about a suspect even whilst officers responding to an incident! Police apparently WRONG if they give even the ethnicity and age and citizenship of suspect ever! Police can’t win.

Don’t forget Farage totally surrendered to the Tories in 2019.

If Trump had read a book he might fashion himself as a Roman Emperor. It would be useful if someone walked behind him whispering ‘No one is eating the dogs’

Trump screws the UK over tariffs and not much is heard from the Brexit crowd - we agree a deal with the EU and all of hell is let loose about ‘RULES!’.

Most Brexit supporters were promised something that Brexit can never deliver. No form of post Brexit deals or relationships with Europe will ever make them happy - because they were lied to.

On assisted dying - we know that people will end their lives in pain - that will happen. I hope the bill doesn’t fail for the sake of something that might happen.

In fostering there is a lot of confusion about which shoe goes on which foot! The children aren’t any better.

Like his Brexit and his riots and many of his latest candidates - Farage and his fiscal plans would be a disaster.

If this American trade deal was made possible by Brexit it was also Brexit that made us so weak in the economic world that we had to take a deal that only leaves us slightly worse off than where we were several months ago before Trump.

Farage would be livid if the Government delivered the perfect Brexit - but they won’t because no one can and Farage will whine and complain about everyone else and take no responsibility for anything.

It is strange that some people object far more strongly to people in London protesting peacefully for the end of the killing in Gaza than they ever protest the killing of thousands of children in Gaza.

If Reform do Trumpism in the UK even as Trumpism is exposed as damaging and really stupid in America over the next couple of years they will be buried politically.

We did respite care for a couple of very young sisters over a period of years and one was a very nervous shy girl often overshadowed by her less shy sister Before she left for the final time I made a point in telling her how special it was that she came to stay with us. She smiled.

I remember the triumph of Boris Johnson and then his well deserved political demise. So it will be with Farage - time is the great political arbiter and final judge.

It was wrong for Putin to invade Ukraine and murder, rape and torture Ukrainians and it still is wrong despite what the MAGA sociopaths say.

Apparently I might be a deep state puppet. If so, there is no recruiting, induction or training or money involved. It must be very secret.

When any of the corrupt and incompetent Trump administration do corrupt and incompetent things their MAGA fans scream deep state. 😂

Some of the most intolerant people on UK social media keep tweeting how intolerant Muslims are. It would be funny if it was not so serious.

Do American fighter pilots over enemy territory worry that Hegseth has told the enemy when they would be there?

I guess that if Jesus turned up in Trump’s America he would be grabbed off the street at night and sent to a brutal prison in South America by those brutal cross wearing hypocrites.

Tourism wise - the US is up there with Iran and North Korea right now. Sad because it has been a fine place to visit in the past - even a year after the 9/11 attacks. Guess Trump is doing more harm in this sense.

Watching ‘The Last Of Us’ for a bit of optimism in these troubled Trump times.

Trump is meant to be good at a deal? He gives Putin everything from the get go and humiliates Zelensky and expects to get a peace deal? He is useless at getting the deal. Who is he kidding?

A planet called K2 18B, which is 124 light years away, shows signs of the ingredients of life. Trump will no doubt insist its occupants are desperate to be Americans.

America looked so good when Obama was elected - leading the world.

MAGA folks want to know why the Epstein list isn’t published? Trumps on it is why. MAGA folks want to know why no arrests over the fraud DOGE say they found? There is no evidence. MAGA folks are not bright.

Trump is silencing Universities, law firms, protestors and news agencies and yet Vance says the UK has a freedom of speech problem. The UK is a beacon of freedom from this point on.

MAGA Americans think guns are more important than the lives of their own children - they won’t give a crap about the rest of the world.

There are many intelligent and generous and talented Americans but Trump is certainly bringing the stupid ones to the fore.

Trump isn’t an isolationist - he is an imperialist.

Because we foster children we have lots of low mood, arguing, tears and tantrums in our house. The children are just as bad.

Once Trump, Musk and Vance have dismantled the democratic and judicial structures and safeguards in the US they will not tolerate democracy in Europe.
