Absolute highlight of a great night/morning, second only to former PM/economy tanker Liz Truss failing to arrive on stage for ages before losing her seat and then fleeing from a BBC journalist. One for the ages.

All the religious fascists the world over are the same.
They all talk about wanting to protect women, while they themselves are the true danger.
Every bloody time.

Personally, I do feel that every one has a civic duty to vote. BUT I also absolutely consider abstaining/spoiling/only voting down ballot (where applicable)/etc to be fulfilling that civic duty. There are absolutely appropriate situations where saying (1/2)

We are still blaming people for being poor, as if our whole society didn't run on the need to have an underclass to scare the rest into staying in line.

So this is what's going on in Petersfield today. All windows closed, and the cat complaining bitterly that she's not allowed outside. Though why she'd want to, I have no idea; the smell is horrendous. #ToxicFumes

The Tories have not been remotely interested in Russian interference until it affected their Party. Johnson suppressed the Russia Report until the last election was over then redacted it.

I mean, I don't think it's a certainty Starmer'll expel Corbyn if he remains an MP but I also wouldn't be surprised if a guy who intends to say this in his first speech did so. (Note how the enemy used to be the radical left, now it's progressive liberals)

This is damning evidence of deliberate destruction of infrastructure and people without any care of casualties.
They targeted journalists and livestreams to make sure there were no witnesses and no pictures or film.
The callousness is breathtaking even for them.

It's wild how both Israel and Ukraine are trying to drag the US into a nuclear world war with Russia and Iran. This is a neocon wet dream that's going to get all of us killed.

Of course they have, some of the defendants on that list are former and current heads of state:
David Cameron: Former British Prime Minister and
Volodymyr Zelenskyy for example.
