@Gargron

Beautiful part of the UK.

@br00t4c

Was Trump ever OK?

No, the man is deranged, he was during his last time in Office and it is worse now.

The USA is in for a bumpy ride.

Floods in Leicestershire.

Some of the floods in places that have never flooded before, and are no where near rivers or streams.

I agree Maggie Thatcher did so much damage to the UK and she pushed the Tories to the right, it took until Johnson for them to go fully 'far right'.

I still think this Tory Party thinks that they are onto a winner by slagging off immigrants in the UK, they are not.

Oh, but this made me laugh out loud.

Musk of all people, ask people to 'be nicer'!!?

@glynmoody

Oh yummy.

So sad that Jimmy Carter died but this makes me smile a little bit.

'Following Carter’s death, President Joe Biden issued a proclamation that called for the US flag to be displayed at half-staff at the White House, on public buildings and grounds, at military posts as well as naval stations and vessels “for a period of 30 days from the day of his death.”

That means the USA will be in mourning when Trump is inaugurated.

'The UK will for the first time in the coming months attempt to properly police what campaigners and politicians have long viewed as the “Wild West” that is the online world.

From the spring, the regulator Ofcom will begin holding social media companies, including Elon Musk‘s X, to account over the content they pump out to their users.'

Yea, but, Labour.

'The top five health insurance companies in the United States have seen their annual profits increase by 230% since the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed in 2010. The companies have made over $371 billion in profits, with UnitedHealth Group receiving more than 40% of that total'

Do you make profits like that by paying out?

@glynmoody

Is there any such thing as 'high quality' USA meat?

I don't want it in our shops.

@glynmoody

Voting Trump in the USA was like voting Leave in the UK only on steroids.

I respect anyone's right to not include themselves in assisted dying.

But, I sat with my Mum, the strongest bravest women I ever knew who had 8 children and sad it was as easy as podding peas, die a long painful death from Cancer.
I sat with my brother in law, just 38 years old, right to his last pain filled breath, who had a long and painful death from throat cancer, and I tell you, I would rather not have my children have to do that for me.

My choice

Why are far right wing Men wading into this subject?

'Nigel Farage’s frightening comments on abortion prove he is a second-rate Trump'

US Presidential pardons, opens the door to corruption.

It is in my opinion high time that the USA constitution written in 1787, was amended to reflect the modern world.

'Britons want Sir Keir Starmer to prioritise closer economic ties with the EU over a trade deal with Donald Trump’s America, new polling shows. According to the research, nearly half – 49 per cent – of respondents said they wanted a closer trading relationship with the EU, when asked what the UK should prioritise when it came to its trade policy.'

I find it ironic that both the UK and the USA, poorer people, voted in super-rich, heartless, greedy narcissists, who were only ever going to make themselves and their super-rich mates richer, and the poor in their country significantly poorer.

At least this time the UK work up.

There are so many miss-conceptions over what Hitlers National Socialist Party really were. Just because Hitler called his Party National 'Socialist' they were not.

They were ultra-far right wing racist Conservative, named that way to fool he left wing in 1930s Germany into voting for them

'In 1933, the Dachau concentration camp held socialists and leftists exclusively.'

University of Northridge.

Nazi also culled trade unionists.

Nazi's were not Socialists

I do get a bit fed up of the experts on here who slag every thing Labour does and say's whilst not having a clue what the real, especially the financial situation in the UK is, unless of course they have 'second sight.

Has anyone else noticed the lack of Christmas flowering plants in the UK Garden Centres this year?
