I appreciate an Indian pilot was extraordinarily brave and avoided a terrible disaster but why do the news keep putting a genocidal war criminal on our TV screens to give his opinion on it? Surely the pilot's bosses or family would be more apt?

Israel say they have "no record" of blasting a refugee camp with a helicopter.

Are those criminals who call themselves soldiers so callous they don't even notice what they destroy any more?

Why are men (and it's always men) who claim to hear voices in their head from God given so much more legal leeway to be discriminatory than the rest of society? Either it's wrong (yes) or its not....

The man who watched Covid ravage Italy and Europe and did NOTHING to protect the country. The man who caused tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. The man who let loose debauched parties at number 10 while he told the country it had to isolate. The grostesque shit should be in jail.

Every time I try to talk about deaf cats, my phone corrects it to "dead." It's getting quite awkward.

"Have you got any dead cats that need a home?"
"Would you consider adopting a dead cat?"

I don’t believe for a second that Xi didn’t make this Thucydides trap reference fully knowing that Trump wouldn’t begin to understand it.

Xi is mocking America & its clown president on camera.

America is so cooked
Lord, President Xi just insulted Trump and the USA, right to Trump's face-in the White House. Xi referred, yet again, to the "Thucydides trap". This is an reference to the US being in decline and China replacing it.
And Trump sits their making moo eyes like a lovestruck teenager

Ed Sheeran talks about his concerts being a safe place. But shouldn’t hospitals, Schools and homes in Gaza and Iran be a safe place for innocent men, women and children? You can’t stay neutral during a genocide, and it didn’t start on the 7th.
