Time to go, I think.

We are experiencing unprecedented levels of censorship on free speech across the west in response to the awful situation in Israel/Palestine. Check out this article: cnn.com/2024/11/14/bus…

This man will live forever as a hero in the annals of British history, as will the post-war Labour Government of which he was part.

@therabbithole Even 2.3 children per woman is above replacement level - and this, after a period of unprecedented human "population explosion". Stop panicking, and be pleased that the population explosion is coming to an end.

Global Fertility Rate: - 1950: 4.9 children per woman - 2023: 2.3 children per woman

Hello @BBCNews, A British surgeon presented shocking evidence to a UK parliamentary committee that Israeli drones *target Palestinian children*. * Why is this not headline news? * Why does it not appear under ‘Israel-Gaza war’? * Why have you buried it under ‘local news’?

Must say I preferred the world when the worst a mad entrepreneur could do was invent a weird little car and give kids an affordable introduction to computers.

How much better off would Britain be today if none of these people had ever been PM? (Answers, with lots of ...000,000s, on a postcard please.)

And thank you French caretakers, for taking care.

This is the scale of the challenge this government is facing. We must never forget what the Conservatives did to our NHS.

Bravo to @RollingStone. THIS is how you write a headline.

I never thought I would see the day when Americans might voluntarily elect a racist bigot spewing eugenics and his numbnuts science advisor What a colossal failure to communicate science to the public. yournews.com/2024/10/26/287…

"We're withholding our endorsement because our owner is frightened of government retaliation if Donald Trump wins" is a more forceful and eloquent statement than any newspaper editorial ever written.

"The Commonwealth" has always been a peculiarly British (English, really) conceit. What it was, or why it was, no-one could quite say. The decision to cultivate this conceit may yet come back to bite its makers. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Trump Campaign Leaves Trail of Unpaid Rally Bills Across the Nation thedailybeast.com/trump-campaign… He was always a grifter, plain and simple.

In my view, @TheDemocrats aren't making nearly enough of the massive fiscal irresponsibility of the @GOP platform under @realDonaldTrump. If he's elected, the first to suffer will be ordinary folks who depend e.g., on Social Security....

Not before time, I'd say.

And if the report is established to be true, presumably the pastor also favors public execution of the perpetrator? What's sauce for the goose, as they say, is sauce for the gander. More generally, though: what an idiot.

What an enthusiastic response from young people given the free choose to join the army or pursue their dreams elsewhere! Oh, wait.
