In a "Me First" world, this thread will perhaps gladden your day and maybe give pause for thought.

I’m not a Catholic, but wouldn’t it be great if we could get #Ilovethepope trending as he’s plainly a good, decent, principled human being, and, on Musk’s platform, this will annoy a lot of powerful, evil people. Do please repost.

War Diary Day 1502 “Open the fuckin Strait you crazy bastards!” Trump’s war will cause a recession, millions on the dole. He may resort to nuclear blackmail. Or a tactical nuke. He is that mad. The King must not go to the US. And we must stand by Ukraine. #DTDFO! #VPDFO!

It is so difficult to understand why Trump launched his Iran operation - an op so clearly damaging to US national interests, the global economy, Ukraine and the US’ closest allies in Europe and the Gulf. Then there is this….

This is a very odd post from a Conservative who says he believes in freedom of expression under law and is a principal spokesman of the Free Speech Union. I appreciate that he does not like Islam and there is no reason why he should. As a Christian it is not my faith. But the use of Trafalgar Square ( with permission) for religious events Christian and other goes back a long way. There have been prayers and hymns, chants and religious events performed there in the past. If such an event 'shouldn't happen again' it raises the question of whether this is to apply to all religious events or just to Muslim ones. If to all, then we are moving like France to imposing secularism as a norm and it is contrary to our national tradition and does not seem to have helped develop social cohesion there.If just to Muslims then it is an act of discrimination against them without any lawful basis. To achieve it you would have to enact discriminatory legislation targeted at Muslims. Is this what Nick Timothy is advocating ?

Wait for the final answer.

NB, Alan Milburn is the man who brought us PFIs, one of the greatest squanderings of public money in recent history. The PFI regime imposed on NHS, councils & schools raising £57b costs over £300b diverting money from patients & pupils to pay huge interest theguardian.com/politics/202…

“I expect you are all wondering why I’ve asked you here today. Me too.”

Justice dispensed by 12 of your peers. Given the levels of critical thinking displayed by a dumbed-down populace, what could possibly go wrong?

The Times was always one of my newspapers of choice. It was stodgy and slow, but it strove for accuracy and avoided the Murdoch agenda where possible. And it wasn’t barking mad like the Telegraph. Now, though, it’s changed. When the FT is available, why choose The Times?

How did those presenters keep a straight face

Hi, I just want to share how deeply sad I am at the passing of the nations sweetheart & my dear friend Pauline Collins. Pauline & John & Myra & I have been the closest of friends for over 50yrs. Another great life chapter closes. I hope it opens a new one for Myra & Pauline xxxxx
