The trouble with today - as opposed to previous April Fools Days- is that there have so many clowns around, notably the Orange Clownfuhrer himself, that I can't tell what is an actual joke & what is the latest Trump, Truss, ....(add name here) gibberish.

Dear America Just make it stop. Thanks. The Rest Of The World. X

BBC Newsnight brought five Epstein survivors together for the first time. "During the hours-long discussion that followed, there were supportive gestures and, as they studied photos of themselves from the time when they first met Epstein, there were tears," the BBC reported. #EpsteinCoverUp

Trump says his illegal war "should always have been a team effort"...just days after telling the UK he didn't want any UK ships involved. Has the senile mound of blubber finally realised that chuffing into a war without a plan & a distinct lack of international support might not be a good idea?

We hear you Trumpy-baby. No 🇬🇧 ships coming your way. We’ll remember too. Oh. We’ll remember alright.

Lest We Forget

Happy International Women's Day. I recently finished this, which documents the lives of women - named & unnamed - from around the world based on archeological & (usually fragmentary) documentary evidence. Well worth a read. 💙📚

More war crimes.

"for illustrative purposes"! Is Darren Grimes saying that Reform voters need pictures in order to understand his message? Or is he just trying to deflect attention from a blatant lie? BBC News - Reform's Darren Grimes admits blog post image was AI - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The UK government is going to evacuate UK citizens caught up in Trump's Middle Eastern war. Good. But can we please exclude those who chose to avoid UK taxes by, e.g. moving to Dubai? Even if they are attached to UK politicians called Tice\.? If they won't pay their way then fuck off.

Why is it that everyone who has (allegedly) tried to assassinate the President has a Trump-supporting background? Oh, & why are two out of the three now dead? Is it because every single one of these "attempts" is fake news? Come on conspiracy theorists. I need answers.

Sunday’s @thetimes.com cartoon times.newsprints.co.uk/morten-morla...

It's a bit rich when a billionaire living in Monaco, a journalist & her politician lay-by shacked up in Dubai for tax reasons, various press barons domiciled outside the UK & a Pimlico Plumber who flogged his company to the US & may or may not have moved to Spain all claim to speak for the UK.

I have just watched a US politician yapping on about how the King needs to testify in front of Congress. Well, maybe he does have a few questions to answer...but not as many as a fat orange president currently already in America. Or his tech bro mates. How about they get a subpoena first?

Elon’s emails to Epstein. Location: Starbase, Texas

Will someone tell me why Scotland's rugby players had to play in a weird coloured strip? The sort of colour parents who don't like their kid paint their kid's room? Or did someone just leave a pair of the wrong coloured socks in the washing machine when they washed the strip pre match?

FYI: if a post is illiterate / misogynist / racist / generally obnoxious & hits social media late at night / in the small hours, then it is a Trump original. No staffer involved. If you can read it, it makes sense & it appears during the normal working day, someone gave Trump a helping hand.

Peter Mandelson says he did nothing criminal. The ex Prince, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell & all the rest of the grubby Epstein clan all proclaim their innocence. I used to work as a fraud investigator. I never met a criminal who admitted his / her guilt straight off. Just saying.

The names of the UK personnel who died in Afghanistan: George, Darren John Busuttil, Robert Gregory, John Kitulagoda, Jonathan Sherwood, Steven Cridge, Mark Craddock, Peter Edward Philippson, Jim Bartlett, Paul Patten, David

Board of Peace - Season 1

Trump wants everyone to believe he needs to take Greenland to protect the US from the guy he made American soldiers roll out the red carpet for in Alaska.

Trump is making China – not America – great again, global survey suggests www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I love this, but...we all know that big tech harvests personal data on an industrial scale. So Musk & Co presumably know who is creating child porn using Grok. Question: Is Musk the sort of guy to use that information as leverage? Asking for a fat orange twat & his perverted friends.

As sold by Bezos on Amazon!!! Someone needs to tell The Orange MegaArse. He could sell them to his MAGA fan base.

January 6th is a stain on our Democracy There is supposed to be a plaque honoring the police officers displayed in the capital to honor how they fought and defended against the mob attacking the capital But the plaque is not up because house Republicans refuse to display it.🤬 We will be ok Foxy

Does anybody else wake up & think: 1) What has The Orange Pissmaker done now? 2) This feels like I'm living in a history book that hasn't been written yet but is going to involve war & I'm probably going to be caught up in it all.

Well played TFL! Transport for London's 'Poetry on the Tube' seems very appropriate for these times...

Bamburgh Castle: Treasured Tales Christmas display.

Is Donald Trump's signature actually an exact reproduction of a lie detector test he took on (insert date here - choose your favourite lie)?

Have a happy & peaceful Christmas, along with Barley, the Romanian rescue dog, who has ditched the candy canes!

Trump will neuartige Kriegsschiffe bauen lassen und sie nach sich benennen. Das Design ist aber noch nicht entschieden.

Going to bed. Tomorrow, I want a Trump-free day. I want peace on earth & I want everyone to be content, even if they can't manage to be deliriously happy. I want my left knee to stop hurting & the car exhaust to stop making a vile noise because it's just developed a hole. OK? Please sort it.

GOP predictions over the last 30 years: Clinton will lead us into economic ruin Bush will ensure the Iraq War is worth it Obama will confiscate all your guns Biden will cause World War III Trump will lead us into a golden age If I were this bad at predicting presidential success, I would shut up

I'm in the UK but every bloody news programme mentions Donald F'ing Trump & his latest lunacy / depravity / outrageous action. There is no avoiding The Orange Pissmaker (tonight's episode: betraying Ukraine & sucking up to The Poisoned Russian Dwarf.) Enough already! Give me a break. Please!

"..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you said 'fuck off back where you came from', I was sick and you said we should replace the NHS with private health insurance..."

I think we need a campaign to award @barackobama.bsky.social a honorary UK knighthood. Aside from the fact that he is infinitely more deserving than a number of other recipients I could mention, just think of the reaction of the Orange Pissmaker!

La citation du soir : Il n'y a jamais trop de livres ! Il en faut, et encore, et toujours ! C'est par le livre, et non par l'épée, que l'humanité vaincra le mensonge et l'injustice, conquerra la paix finale de la fraternité entre les peuples. Emile Zola

Is the current conflict between Thailand & Cambodia one of the wars The Great Orange Pissmaker claims to have ended (sorry; I genuinely can't remember if it was in The Pissmaker's list of triumphs)? Anyway, I just need to check if the bombing over the last 24 hours was "fake news".

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy already has over 30,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Watching Question Time (it won't last; I'll get annoyed.) What is about Tories? Why do they have this perpetual fixation with Rwanda? It was a stupid idea. It's still a stupid idea. It cost a fortune & was a total waste of taxpayers' money, but they still bang on about Rwanda.

View from across the pond: Americans seem to view the younger presidents - Kenbedy, Obama (ish) - as the best thing ever. So why do they vote for doddery old gits more often than not? I'm all for honouring the wisdom of age (I'm old), but, seriously, why?

Bot alert: @fredarclawson.bsky.social & @victoriasbui.bsky.social are apparently the same person, despite the name difference.

This should go everywhere- and far beyond “us”, because we understand the horrors of this. Amazingly - many don’t.

🤣🎯
