Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

Can anyone give me a good reason as to why we keep fighting wars in the name of “defending our country” when all we have accomplish is the death of 100’s of thousands of mostly innocent people, including our own?

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror."
Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

Some people are saying the Far Right aren't fascist because they are getting elected
Hitler was elected, and when he was being elected he promised exactly the same things as the Far Right parties, and when they get into power they will fix the elections exactly as he did
It's fascism

I have a terrible headache and I have just been informed that we are getting a Flerken in seven weeks (or at least a ginger kitten). So, that's something to look forward to.
Fally and Gordo will be delighted.

Went to a bookshop which, at first, appeared to be overseen solely by a cat. Bought a pile of old books. Can a day technically be any better?

Woke up this morning at 7:00 to take painkillers for my sciatica then spent a pleasant hour listening to big Gordo the cat snoring beside me on the bed. Then my phone started buzzing with messages from the local WhatsApp group trying to exchange stuff. At 8:20 am!! This has woken Gordo.

Yes, it should have been him over Dolly.
But let’s be real, it should have been him over LITERALLY anyone. Him over the guy who died from fentanyl on the street. Him over 103 year old Ethel passing away in the nursing home. Him over that squirrel that got hit by a car.
