a) free speech
b) the rule of law
c) the Constitution
d) being hypocritical weapons grade dicks

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.

Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

I would like to see a few British broadcasters read out every word of Trump’s latest ‘statement’ live on air & then remind us of their often lavish statements of support for him & then share some of their supportive words for Ukraine.

And then we can all watch their brains explode…

There’s free speech, and then there’s lying, propaganda machines. The government needs to address corrupt, overseas-owned media urgently if we are to have any chance of a fair democracy going forwards.

Still internalising the Vance Munich speech. A sitting Vice President goes to Europe, barely says a word about the despotic murderous regime which has invaded its neighbour, and instead lectures his allies about freedom of speech. It’d be funny if it weren’t so serious.
