I wonder if the fake father - Calvin Robinson - friend of failed actor, Laurence Fox, has a green card or whatever is necessary to remain in the USA? It would be quite something to see this odious individual removed; but honestly, the UK does not want him back. Lozza thinks the salute is just fine. https://crooklyn.social/@crooksandliars/113918096213820446
Make it make sense, please….. No matter what age or difficulty is put on buying a knife, if some dangerous individual wants one, they can literally go to the kitchen drawer and take one from there. I very much doubt there is a house in the entire country that does not have a knife in it. And scissors can be taken apart. Knitting needles sharpened. Etc. etc. These kinds of laws and tightening do nothing, except waste time and money. None of this addresses the actual problem. That child was reported to several services, and to the police on numerous occasions, and every single service and the police failed to do their duty each time. https://mastodon.ozioso.online/@RTENewsHeadlinesRSS/113894440365951973
@aral He could literally start a war with this carry on. Everyone needs to be prepared to protect Greenland, because if he ‘gets Greenland’ he’s going to come for another one he fancies after that; as well as the Panama Canal.
@MediaActivist If anyone wanted hard evidence that Netenyahu is a POS and denying the awful trauma of the historical facts of the Nazis, this is it. Repellant. What’s worse is seeing countries still funding and supporting Israel and the IDF and not distancing themselves. I’m looking at Starmer, UK Labour and others.
@GhostOnTheHalfShell@pluralistic Canada can get goods elsewhere, and they could simply stop sending fossil fuels and a few other necessities to the USA for [say] a month. Might cause some short term pain for Canada, but letting #FeloniousTrump steam roll over them and inflict Tarriffs if they don’t accede to his bullying would be a big mistake; something that will destroy Canada in pretty short order.
@grayface_ghost As a cis woman, I fear greatly for my trans friends and associates. My eldest’s partner is trans, and they both live in London. I always hope they are safe and well. I would add that as a woman living protectively is something most women do; and the few that have never been assaulted or propositioned or had someone put unwanted hands on them are very fortunate indeed. We learned to carry our keys threaded through our fingers, to keep back from cars asking for directions, how to walk without looking fearful or looking too obvious either…. And more. A great many of us know your fear, and are your friends. :purple_heart_sparkle:
@fkamiah17 Distraction here - beige.party have tons of mastodon emojis in various groups. Since you often share quotes from Moomin, I thought you might like a screenshot of the Moomin collection. And I know it will not distract you from book purchases and the other pleasures lined up for today.
@GottaLaff Engagement or capitulation to #FeloniousTrump won’t save those who do so. It simply shows him who is a pushover for more intimidation, and who can be casually dismissed when they hesitate to do something in future. Anyone who has ever been the subject of bullies as a child or teenager is very well aware of this.
@GottaLaff It’s absolutely hilarious and all over media in the UK and Ireland already. Farage [🐸] had a softball interview with Laura Kuenssberg of the BBC this morning, and got away with all kinds of lies and nonsense. His bubble is well burst this afternoon. I loathe Musk as much as I loathe 🐸, because he knows nothing about politics anywhere - and he had recently offered $100 million to ReformUK Ltd [🐸 political party, and the only one that is a Limited Company]. I don’t think the money will be forthcoming. The reason Musk has done this is because he wants convicted and currently incarcerated racist, and all round bad boy Stephen Yaxley-Lennon/Tommy Robinson out of jail and favours him. Here’s a link to the POS that Musk favours - it’s a long read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson
Musk adding surgery and gynaecology to his skillset now? Such a display of ignorance is difficult to understand, never mind define…. How is a person of such stunning stupidity the wealthiest person on the planet? https://hear-me.social/@nek/113765455308294642
@ChrisMayLA6 I fear this Labour government under Starmer is too close to the USA with Trump as POTUS, and will cause irreparable harm to the UK [and surrounding countries]. That Farage is also platforming Trump and offered a lot of money by Musk isn’t helping. I think Starmer is hoping some of this largesse will come Labour [his] way. Nothing is suggesting to me that Starmer’s Labour are governing for the good of the country; and everything is suggesting they are governing to line their own pockets. Trump and his billionaires won’t care - they see an easy mark to gain more wealth, and more control.
@glynmoody Other countries need to increase vaccinations for their citizens, and as disease levels rise in the USA, those other countries need to insist on vaccination evidence for all USA residents coming in even for a short trip. If that can’t be provided, then border restrictions may be necessary. USA is very keen to have borders keeping people out of the USA - other places who do not want a surge in preventable disease must be prepared to return the favour asap.
This is the most fantastic news for Northern Ireland, for Co Antrim, and for the fabulous campaigners who have fought for years against Gas Caverns in the highly protected marine environment off Islandmagee. No gas caverns in Islandmagee. #DAERA#DUP and Sammy Wilson MP can go fvck themselves. #NIPoliticshttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mvx12m30do
@aral@murchadhfinn Hopefully Irish and EU law would ensure protection and equality for trans people: reunification should remove the yoke of British occupation from the six counties forever. #think32
@bougiewonderland@tek If you don’t want Kiwifarms and TERFs trolling and gathering information and harassing people, it’s most definitely something to worry about. I think people who really want a BlueSky account should have it entirely separate from here in the interests of the safety of themselves and their friends. Once someone comes for a minority we should all protect that minority. We are stronger together - a kind of herd immunity if you will.
@ChrisMayLA6 Bridging with BlueSky is dangerous, as they haven’t got nearly enough moderation over there, and the worst people from X are now installed. It seems the awful TERF crew that is KiwiFarms and their main proponent [Jesse …..] is there, and BlueSky have not taken action to shut that down, despite many thousands of complaints. IMO, if someone wants an account with Bluesky they should keep it separate from their Mastodon account, to protect our integrity here. No Bridge is the best bridge.
