@MarinaPurkiss Well someone should give the Israeli government the present of a noose or two....

This is not normal.

@broadwaybabyto When I was recovering from a subarachnoid haemorrhage my Dr. told me that he would go away and study how best to treat me. Best GP I ever had.

One of my best doctors said “I don’t know” for years. He also said he was determined to figure it out. He validated what I was going through but was humble enough to admit he didn’t have the answers. When I was finally diagnosed I thanked him for not giving up on me.

@0Calamity An amazing piece of television

Watching Chernobyl for the first time. Don't have Sky so didn't see it when it was released, but it's now on Prime. What an outstanding drama.

@BlokeOnWheels Threads is the place to be ...

I am seriously not getting the enjoyment I used to out of this place, it just seems to be full of angry people and I don't get to see many of my lovely community these days. It's all a bit shite.

@KerryBurgess Hard to hate anyone more than the person who sold out our birthright. Although, the person who sold us a war that killed millions is also hard to love. Starmer is only a continuation of the evil that those before him gave us.

I think that i might hate Sir Keir Starmer more than I hate Sir Tony Blair, and i hate Tony Blair a lot. What do other people think?

Sat watching "Threads".... masterful performance from the cast, including the great @reece_dinsdale Parallels with today are scary, Iran being the trigger to Nuclear devastation. Watching it on YouTube.... give it a go, 40 years have not dimmed the message.

@lorahmoe Sad, angry and more determined to call out behaviour that is plain wrong. I get quiet, it's not my place to insert myself into her pain. Only when asked will I join her in calling out misogyny.

If you’re a man, please respond. If you’re a woman, ask the men in your life and report back: What is your initial gut reaction when you hear a woman say, “I hate men”?

@MouinRabbani Prefer this one...

“Vance Says the Pope Should Be More Careful When Talking About Theology” Definitely headline of the year nytimes.com/2026/04/14/us/…

@KeruboSk Someone has been on Threads....

Anonymous: Once upon a time there was a little boy who purposefully hit a little girl in the face with a basketball during recess. When she told her teachers that the little boy hit her, they said it wasn’t a big deal, that he was just playing and the swelling on her face would go down eventually. The next day at recess the little girl sat on top of the jungle gym with a birds eye view of the playground. When the little boy walked by, she dove off and body slammed him WWE style, breaking his arm.

@WiltsHuntSabs When will people think of the bear baiters??

Louder for those at the back: FOX HUNTING IS NOT A JOB

@Nigel_Farage #farageriots

This is my response to the Southport inquiry. No lessons have been learnt.

I just took action with : How you can help Basingstoke & NE Hants Greens get our first councillor elected!. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/how-you-…

@Thelma_DWalker Happy Birthday 🥳🎂

It’s my birthday and I really would be very pleased if we could have world peace. Thank you.

@googleyeys @stellarman22 Iran is not an enemy of the UK....

@stellarman22 You should be arrested for treason. You are giving intel to the enemy.

⚠️In the next hour or 2 we should see reports from locals near RAF Fairford of takeoffs of B-52s and B-1s. Takes 6-7 hours during a combat operation to reach Iran which would put them in range around 8pm est Locals report 10+ B-52s are being fueled and loaded right now.

@David__Osland the eldest gen x would of been 14 when Thatcher came to power, 32 when Blair got in....

'Boomers' aren't responsible for the state of Britain. Responsibility rests with the Thatcherites and Blairites who took away secure well-paid jobs, strong trade unions, social housing, free education, final salary pensions and publicly owned utilities.

@wnrax @nxt888 I apologise if you meant the Yank...shouldn't leap to conclusions, again sorry.

@wnrax @nxt888 Lol do have any idea who Sony is? Just because you need AI to sound intelligent don't assume the same of others.

Rick, with respect, you just walked into Ho Chi Minh City and diagnosed it with irony. You looked at a thriving, modernizing Vietnamese city and your conclusion was: this doesn't match my understanding of what communism is supposed to look like. Something must be wrong. Something must be contradictory. It feels like a ghost of America. Let me offer a different possibility. Maybe your understanding of what communism is supposed to look like is the problem. The Vietnamese never read Marx the way Western academics read Marx, as a fixed scripture, a rigid doctrinal system with predetermined outcomes and eternal commandments. We read it the way a military strategist reads a manual: useful here, adaptable there, discard what doesn't work, keep what does, and always remember that the goal is not ideological purity. The goal is Vietnamese sovereignty. Vietnamese survival. Vietnamese self-determination. Hồ Chí Minh was not a communist in the way that makes Western cold warriors comfortable: a Moscow puppet, an ideological zealot, a man who wanted to build a copy of the Soviet Union in Southeast Asia. He was a Vietnamese nationalist who found in Marxist-Leninist organizational theory the most effective available framework for uniting a colonized people against a colonial power. The tool was communism. The project was always Vietnam. When the tool needed to be adjusted, we adjusted it. Đổi Mới happened in 1986. The Vietnamese state looked at the economic situation, made a collective assessment, and liberalized. Not because they abandoned the revolution. Because they understood that the revolution's purpose was never the economic model. It was the sovereignty. What you're calling irony, we call adaptability. What feels like contradiction to you is just evidence that we were never living inside your framework to begin with.

@RAGunner72 @ZoeJardiniere Hmmmmmm don't think I have.....tell how the Norwegian model differs from ours?

@disafffected @ZoeJardiniere Yes. Market rate rent, paid as tax revenue, NSTA levies, and windfall tax back to the Treasury. Gardner's argument wasn't "we should get more tax." It was that it was "sold off." It wasn't. You've now confirmed it's a licence. Thanks.

It is blowing my mind how many people don’t seem able to grasp that oil & gas in the North Sea is not “ours” but was sold off to private companies who will trade it on the international market like any other fuel. We don’t get any kind of privileged access to this fuel.

@RAGunner72 @ZoeJardiniere Sooooo this house.... "Market" rate rent?

The licence holder, under a revocable government licence, from seabed the Crown Estate still owns. That's not "sold off" as Gardner likes to put it. That's called a licence. Your landlord still owns the house you're renting. If you're suggesting that proves Gardner right, say so. Questions are for people who don't know the answer.

@RaphaPenque @ZoeJardiniere Who owns the gas/oil that has been extracted?

@ZoeJardiniere The gas will literally go to the UK because that’s where the pipes go. If we revitalise our refinery capacity, that’s also literally where it’ll go. How is THAT so hard to understand?
