My friend in St Petersburg tells me the babushkas are calmly sewing camouflage netting. They expect war with the West by 2030 latest. It is NOT what they want. Putin says every day, they want peace. Listen. In WW2 out of every 3 dead one was Russian. They died on our side.

Another parody account that has people totally missing the joke.
This is my great grandfather who fought for freedom. He didn't fight for Nottinghill Carnival, oat milk or pronouns. Wear your poppy with pride ! (Not that type of Pride btw) . Still no Poppy emoji ๐Ÿ˜ก.๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Essential thread.
1/12 ๐Ÿงต The government accepted 27 recommendations on antisemitism in schools. We examined the evidence behind them. Antisemitism is wrong and should be challenged. This is about the evidence.

So the British Press was whipped into a feeding frenzy by a white supremacist who was angry that a black man had a better job. White supremacy won, Arday is dead.

Couldn't be happier, seeing Kevin and Dexys back doing what they love, and being appreciated so much at each gig. Here, in Kevin's old hometown. And with a new album out! โค๏ธ @DexysOfficial
The Wolverhampton crowd provided the best atmosphere, they didnโ€™t want the gig to finish, watch them singing back to Kevin at the end of the night, a beautiful moment โค๏ธ @DexysOfficial

I'm up for tips from anyone who has a sensitive and clingy cat they have never left for 4 weeks before. Thinking to get a friend to stay here the whole time rather than putting her in a cattery. Not looking for volunteers, would have to be someone I already know. Just tips.
Ooh, fancy! I have some Big Trips coming up, the main one being to Oz/NZ via China in the spring. My old cat was more relaxed about my going away very often, poor Milly gets distraught at 4 days. I don't know how she will cope with 3-4 wks, but I need to see my sister.

Something I genuinely can't fathom ๐Ÿ‘‡ Why do the people who know we are being lied to everyday about Israel and Iran, believe every word they are told about Ukraine. Just like Gaza conflict didn't start October 7th. USA / Israel bombed Iran first. Ukraine started in 2014.

Wonder what happened to that good friend of Sheller's, the barrister lady he was helping sue the Lib Dems? Oh. 350k in costs, not the 50k we thought.

Men. Every woman you know has been sexually assaulted, or made to feel unsafe, by a man. Rebecca Goodwin found the strength to report her rape. Vittorio Angelone made it into a joke & reinforced the idea that women don't matter and rape is funny. I can't stop thinking about her.

Talking of "undone", love that the outsider glamour of Blondie came out of a scuzzy flat in the very ungentrified Bowery of the mid-70s. Beautiful.

So much raw musicial talent (and what magazines call "undone glamour") here, it makes my heart ache. Her addiction clearly self-medicating. She felt too much. Dunno what, if anything, could help that. A choice between saving her life and saving her music? Music was her heartbeat.
20 years ago today, Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" was released as a single.

This has got beyond intolerable. How does a whingeing mafia, on behalf of a murderous regime, with no authority have a 'divine right' to impose its authority on our government, on our politics and politicians, on our education on our legal system, on our adherence to international law, on our freedom of speech, on our clothing, on our right to keep a job, on our defence policies, our relations with other countries. It tells us who our enemies are, who and what must be proscribed. etc etc etc etc What a pathetic situation. What grovelling weeds our rulers have become.
This is unbelievable. The British Labour Party is bordering on satanic.

I may turn off replies, not really my role to try to break through lifetimes of imbibing propaganda. Question is, do you want to die, or your kids to die, because of what you think you know about Ukraine? Do you believe you're told the truth - witnessing Gaza?

My friend is of Ukrainian/Jewish parentage. Studied in St P, came to London in the 90s to lecture in art, worked at the BBC, and has lived/worked in France and Italy. His folks are still in Ukraine. So, this is not someone brainwashed by any side.

St P - I have a couple of years to decide whether to go live in that beautiful city. Would probably lose my UK citizenship, but I have Irish. A lot I love about London but being groomed to accept pointless war isn't what I signed up for. There's no future in England's Dreaming.

I first went to Russia in 1987. We broke free of our Intourist guides (minders) and went drinking and sightseeing with Russians. Overwhelmingly, they wanted peace and friendship with the West. They envied our music but were proud of their own culture. (I married one in 1989).
