  1. Filled up with diesel, not at the most expensive filling station around, but it still came to £115.51 😳😡

  2. We must not forget those who have suffered the effects of war in Ukraine. Remembering those friends you have lost should never be wrong.

  3. The United States of America was founded on the principle of
    NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
    and a war with Great Britain, so why is Puerto Rico taxed by the federal government but has no representation in Congress or Senate?

  4. Well blocking Burnham is definitely a choice, but one that clearly shows Starmer's weakness. Labour saying it's to save the cost of a mayoral by-election is them accepting he would have won. Now there can be no certainty that a Labour candidate will hold the seat.

  5. Q: Do you believe the USA will continue to exist in its current form (ie federal republic of 50 states) in 2030?

  6. Very exciting IBSF World Championship final runs in the men's skeleton, especially as it was UK first and second, and both have initials MW!

  7. There is absolutely NO justification for anyone having more money than a small country, nor more than enough to live on comfortably.

  8. Realising earlier how pollsters always ask "If there was a general election tomorrow how would you vote?" wouldn't have required the "if" today.

  9. Tomorrow it's the UK's turn. But whatever country are in, no matter who your candidates are, no election result is a given whatever opinion polls say. If you don't cast your ballot things won't change.

    ONLY VOTING MAKES A DIFFERENCE. MAKING YOUR OWN MARK MATTERS.

  10. No, I don't quite understand how someone can support and agree to represent a far-right Party without noticing that they are a party of ‘racism and misogyny’ either.
    Did she wear a blindfold and ear muffs?

  11. In the meantime I'm currently waiting patiently for the #MarathonMonday #PatriotsDay #RedSox game to start shortly, so not everything is bad.

  12. "The £150,000 work attracted so much controversy that no artist has admitted to making it."

    Ignoring who it is alleged to be a statue of I sorta like it.

  13. 😢😢😢 Just seen the news about Wake. So sad. Soooo sad.
    RIP TIM. WE LOVED YOU.

  14. Watching tbe Women's Lead final from #Koper and commentator says "remember, #Janja is human".

    NOT TRUE! 😁

  15. Don't put off to tomorrow what you can put off to next month.

  16. Finally located specific connector for charging my chair batteries* so possibility exists I might go to London Pride on Saturday.

    My first (then only "Lesbian & Gay" #Pride) was 40 years ago, and I was one of the organisers and first 'out' bisexual on the committee. We've come a long way since but those advances have been slipping back with increased homophobia and transphobia promoted by the media.

    Just because there is music, and people in bright colours, doesn't mean we aren't still fighting for our rights, for fair and equal treatment, to live in peace without fear of violence. Pride is both a celebration of how far we've come in 50 years and a reminder to everyone else just how much there is left to do.

    (* Yes, it's an electric chair. No, not that sort of electric chair!)

  17. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: “We hugely value the work of nurses"...
    but we won't pay them what they deserve, need, and are owed after repeated negative increases because of the high inflation this government has created.

  18. Watched the Colbert - Prince Harry interview. Well worth watching if you haven't already seen it.
