“How’s my new war going?” “Not good, Mr President. They’re still talking about the files.” #TrumpGuilty #Epstein

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

A retired British primary school administrator with a British passport and a valid visa was shackled, chained and detained for six weeks by ICE www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Boss is singing about ICE on the Streets of Minneapolis. You won't hear this played at the Kennedy Center or on Fox News. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

I had to walk a different way home from the bus today (diversions) and found this gorgeous portal on my route. What fantasy world do you think it leads to?

Meet ‘Amelia’: the AI-generated British schoolgirl who is a far-right social media star

🚨BOOM!! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 50,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

watching a video of someone using pages from a book to make a paper star decoration, I was reminded of this. Created by an ex-colleague (we're both since retired) from faulty copy pages of a record book. the red ribbon is the proverbial legal "red tape"

Dear BBC News, the whole idea of changing the name to "resident doctors" was to stop calling them "junior doctors" because when you talked about "junior doctors" people thought you meant "trainee doctors". They're not trainees, they're fully qualified.

could this be true? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Grok and Google Lens AI overviews have been claiming that fake imagery shows the Huntingdon train attack. Grok told users one AI-generated image, of an injured man lying in a carriage, “appears to be a genuine photo”. Our fact check 👇

New story day! "Phantom View" is about a son caretaking for his father, and discovering a blurry person in all their family photos that he has no memory of. The same figure is in all his dad's paintings--and the figure may be in the house with them right now.

Der Shitler has declared ANTIFA a terrorist organization. ANTIFA is Anti-Fascism. Fascism is what the world fought against in WWII. Nazi scum. Therefore, Der Shitler's declaration is an ADMISSION that MAGA is FASCIST. edition.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

“Farage has given two contradictory versions – one that he bought it and the other that his girlfriend owns it. If the second one is correct then he has ­engineered a massive saving on stamp duty, larger than the one that forced Angela Rayner to resign.” – @goodlawproject.org https://bit.ly/4m81Zzt

Apparently learning about the Civil Rights movement is "inappropriate." www.upworthy.com/parents-comp...

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

Information relating to the M&S complaint, reportedly from the trans woman whom the complaint was about. Almost everything claimed in recent articles is extremely inaccurate. 1/

Zelensky, do not go to DC without an armed escort!

Politico: "Nigel Farage is demanding Keir Starmer allow him to nominate Reform peers to the House of Lords in a letter which makes the front of the Times." How on earth has this made the front page? It's the ultimate "he would say that, wouldn't he" story

Why was there a Kindertransport? Because we wouldn't let their parents come with them. Five years into the Nazi persecution, we wouldn't let their parents come with them. And we insisted every child had someone to meet their "costs". And we only agreed on condition most would "re-emigrate".

URGENT: The Israeli government has announced a complete invasion of the Gaza Strip, and last night the IDF murdered five Al Jazeera staff in Gaza including its most prominent reporter Anas Al Sharif. No more statements of condemnation. Sanction Israel NOW. action.eko.org/a/gaza-invas...

Letter of the day (in the Times)

I wrote to M&S about the stupid lingerie department story - confirms nobody offered a bra fitting to a teenage girl. The Telegraph and JK can (always) do one.

we need to see Nigel Farage's browser history!

Trump’s heading to Scotland this weekend and wants the next Open at his Turnberry course. I just told The R&A: DO NOT give it to him :x: Will you join me too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

It’s 25 July, so... yes, that’s right! It’s the 338th anniversary of the first Ferry Fair at South Queensferry on the Firth of Forth, an event traditionally preceded by the Burryman’s Parade – in which a man covered with burrs walks through the town. With some difficulty, it must be said

Protesters in Tel Aviv took to the streets carrying flour bags and pictures of malnourished children from Gaza, calling for the end of the war on Gaza and the hunger. #protest #TelAviv #Gaza #hunger #IsraelGazawar #Israel
