During World War I, the United Kingdom executed 306 of its own soldiers for “cowardice” Many were just traumatized young men who couldn’t handle the horrors of war Back then it was called cowardice What we now call PTSD was once punished with death😞

WHOA! This broke last night and now we’ve gotten a plot synopsis for this LOTR film being written by Stephen Colbert, his son and Philippa Boyens. I’ve seen some excited responses and some angry responses from the anti-wokers. What do Y’ALL think of this news and synopsis???

A sequel movie to the ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ trilogy is officially in the works. Plot synopsis — 14 years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began.

It is difficult to accept the basis upon which these so called facts are presented. In modern times, the two most demonstrably unsuccessful Prime Ministers this country has endured are Boris Johnson and Liz Truss. No other Prime Minister, including Sir Keir Starmer, approaches the scale of those failures. What has followed is a narrative constructed and sustained across major broadcasters, including the BBC, ITV, Sky News, and GB News, alongside sections of the wider press, the persistent chorus of voices from within the Conservative Party, and the influence of Reform UK. Within that narrative, criticism of Sir Keir has been constant from the moment he assumed office. That scrutiny stands in stark contrast to the latitude afforded to his predecessors, particularly at times when serious errors were made and rules were plainly disregarded. The effect is cumulative. A narrative is repeated, reinforced, and amplified until it presents itself as established fact, regardless of whether it withstands scrutiny. It is this constant echo that many have grown weary of, particularly when it appears so plainly unbalanced in its application. It is not unreasonable to conclude that such imbalance reflects editorial inclination rather than objective assessment. A Labour Prime Minister does not sit comfortably with certain proprietors or institutions, and that discomfort appears to shape the tone of coverage. Yet one fact remains beyond dispute. Sir Keir secured a decisive electoral mandate, a landslide victory that confers both authority and responsibility. Those who supported him expect that mandate to be honoured through steady and effective governance. To date, there has been no failure of the kind so readily alleged. What we are witnessing instead is the noise of political transition. Meanwhile, the Conservative Party finds itself diminished, its relevance increasingly in question, and its future uncertain. It would therefore be welcome if sections of the press returned to the task of reporting events as they are, rather than seeking to shape them into something they are not.

After winning one of the biggest landslides in UK election history less than two years ago, Keir Starmer became the most unpopular prime minister on record. But how did that happen? @lewis_goodall is on a mission to find out.

Journalist Yasmin @y_alibhai Brown has penned an article & comments "This column will be pounced on by racists, but I have to write it," & adds "Racism is flooding the lives of Muslims like me." She's is most critical of Nick @NJ_Timothy's criticism of the Trafalgar Square open praying. Many see it as an arrogant sign of dominance. Well Yasmin did you not say in 2006 on BBC World’s Dateline of white men: “I don’t like them. I want them to be a lost species in a hundred years." Your racism aside, 500,000 white, working-class British girls were groomed by mainly Muslim men, while 98% of all terrorist deaths of Britons from 2000 have been perpetrated by Islamists. Much of the problem is the whining cry-bully mentality, & you are always play the victim. British people are not racist by instinct, it is learnt from reading the news.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret In response to Rorys point about Maga still supporting Trump. That will carry on until the bodybags come home and it effects them directly. It's pointless Rory saying this could affect the world economy because to Maga, they think that doesn't mean them, so why should they care🤷

James Cameron: "In Star Wars the good guys are the rebels, they're using asymmetric warfare against a highly organized empire, I think we call those guys terrorists today." George Lucas: "When I did it they were Vietcong. That was the whole point."

I’ve been critical of Michael Vaughan chasing headlines and trying to manufacture clickbait quotes. I think he’s tarnished his 2005 legacy a bit by doing that. I’m one of many fans that he’s blocked. But, having said all that, credit where it’s due. Having listened to him on the TMS podcast and his own pod today, he sounds a lot more competent and capable than Rob Key. He clearly has a vision for England. He is a proven performer. I don’t think he would take any crap. He might even knock a few heads together. Would you like to see him take over from Key?
