You may be right but why do you think this is?

LaIslaBonita @laislabonita.bsky.social · 17m

That was bad too yes!

Terrible to give anyone that movie /song for a paso! Not sure anyone could do much with it. Rather unfair.

He got a really bum deal imho #strictly

LaIslaBonita @laislabonita.bsky.social · 11h

I have NEVER seen anything so ridiculous and unfair on #strictly as asking someone to dance Paso Doble as flipping THUNDERBIRDS and to such stupid music! Whoever thought that up needs sacked @bbcstrictly.bsky.social poor Ross! #strictly

New, from me:
Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce
1. Purge - those deemed disloyal
2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military
3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent

Purge, Merge, and Surge

Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

Now seen that e.g. official Anglican account is here - in a minimal kind of way - and some individual churches /cathedrals etc have made the move but it really pains me to see how reluctant others across public sector are to cut the tie.

Completely understand that feeling. Revamping who I follow ( that initial sign up to lots of starter packs means that needs doing) and actively rebalancing rust is helping.

Why isn’t he being arrested and charged?
