France at the UN Security Council: "The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Here's a useful website for reference. Looks like its too late to book for the Epstein Dancers though. #Trumpkennedycentre www.trumpkennedycenter.org?fbclid=IwdGR...

Things that are annoying in ads; the phrase "up to 100%" eg gives you up to 100% protection from. So that could be 99%. But it could be 1%. Or anything in between. #advert #misleading

Newspaper warns drivers of petrol cars in uk to oay 17 p per mile in December. Although the headline doesn't mention this is little change from earlier in the year. Its simply what it costs. #spin #pressagenda #expresslies

#Trump says #BBC execs are right to resign as they have lied and promoted false narratives. I take it he will be following them out of the door?

#reform It could almost be true!

Odd comments about #princeandrew suggesting act of parliament to remove titles. He becomes prince at birth because of genetic make up, so surely we need gene editing to remove the royal DNA? Or are you telling me the whole idea of inherited power is daft?

Today saw link to website claiming pre ww2 folk given hydrogen peroxide to rub on skin if had cancer & would be cured in 2 weeks; increased oxygenation. It criticises big pharma for flogging sham drugs. Meanwhile the same site will sell you a fruit extract which stops aging as it's antioxidant. 1/

They're coming over here and taking our Nobel prizes.

Im told by a fruend that as i contknue to condemn the Hamas attack in additikn to condemning Israel's response that makes me a racist and some other undavoury things too. Hostage taking is a war crime and remains so even if someome else subsequently comitd atrocities. #hamas #israel #hoatages

@turningpoint-uk.bsky.social leader on #SkyNews complaining kirk's killing is the result of calling folk nazis. Hmm. So we need to protect folk against hurty words after all as they lead to real consequences and harm. Fair point.

Nice take down in Charlie kirk press conference amongst the backslapping. One of the cops mentioned him going to Valhalla which is of course blasphemous and anti Christian. (Against #kirk , against killing too).

Is there a special reason almost all my new followers are young, female, have posted twice or even less? Happy to be followed by young ladies, but where have the older blokes gone?

Reform UK's latest defector... Candidate wrote people on Benefits Street should be 'put down' www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

What happened yesterday at the WH was an INTERVENTION, but TACO and his minions are too stupid to understand that. They think the global leaders came here to cheer and listen to that asshole. They came her to CONTAIN him.

This really is the bottom line. What's to be done about it realistically and pragmatically isn't so easy but underneath it all this is the truth.

Post dinner view after dinner tonight. #buxton

Wrote this on Facebook recently as an immediate response. Seems to have struck a chord across a variety of friends. Reminder: the USA contains some good people.

Just being asked about photos I like to take. Well here are some from #Bolivia

I was staying in a remote house in Slovenia miles from the next. There was a fierce storm; thunder and lightning, pretty scary! Just going to bed a few minutes before midnight and there was a knock on the door. Opened carefully to find this scared chap looking for refuge! #dog #Slovenia

We may laugh at Rupert Lowe falsely calling the coastguard. But this is the nasty side of this rhetoric. Truth does not matter to these bastards anymore. They've wound their fash cult up to such a point that any non white person is a target. They can call it what they like, but it's racism.
