ABC: A shocking video shows an ICE Agent wearing an American flag mask break a woman's car window to arrest her in Addison, Illinois. “Me, as a U.S. citizen, even us are afraid of these guys,” said a local man. “We feel this is something that is not right, not legal."

I agree!

Well remembered. Wonder what the appeal of Boaz wasm Tad unfortunate: Boaz was Bathsheba's husband and he was cuckolded by King David. Boaz was killed in battle. No wonder Will wasn't fond of the name Boaz. #thearchers

The fact that so many #thearchers SL are slow burn and it deals with some tough stuff as well as the cricket, flower and produce etc is one of the reasons it has lasted so long. Long may it continue

I hope something happens that does turn George around but he needs to take some responsibility for his actions first and that doesn't seem to be happening although I had thought it was, oh well #thearchers

Snap. My mum who taught in secondary mod, as well as in a behavioural unit for lads who had been in borstal and latterly top primary, reckoned she could pick out the kids who'd become to be bad 'uns. A study of our local paper showed she was often right. Mum was a #thearchers fan but died 15 yrs ago

I keep coming back to the fact that if Canada or the UK, where we respectively live, elected a dangerous idiot, it would be our nations that suffered. USA citizens' votes have imposed Trump and his dangerous actions on the world.

Classic case of the Emperor's New Clothes.

Every country in the world has figured out that all they have to do is give Trump some amazing sounding false promise to announce so he can take credit for a “win” and they can get whatever they want in return. He craves personal credit and fluffery - substance is irrelevant.

In saying folk have a right not to live next to someone who speaks a different language, Vance forgets Trump's ma was a Gael i.e. her first language was Gaelic not English. Duh

Kevin M. Kruse @kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 1d

This is exactly the same argument — and, in parts, even the same language — that segregationists advanced to argue that white people had a “right” not to live next to people who were different from them.

FactPost @factpostnews.bsky.social · 1d

Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do

Career prosecutors were put on leave, allegedly for stating the truth about J6. The Administration is working overtime to erase history. It’s incumbent upon all of us to document truth, preserve historical record, and stand firm against efforts to replace facts.

Do you think it would be worth prefacing the noun 'universities' with the adjective 'English in that sentence? HEIF is, after all, England-only formula based funding.

For fuck sake, it’s not a legitimate question regarding a third term, it is fucking UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Media fucking pandering to the idea is utter stupidity.

Cover it like this, “President Trump has spoken about running for a third term but this is against the 22nd Amendment. Full 🛑.

Freddie was contrite and fessed up from the start. George was a nasty piece of work before and nowt has changed. If he were born into a better off family, I suspect George would still be a nasty piece of work. #Thearchers

Alan has offered to help several non church goers in the past. Even if George didn't appreciate Ajan, I could imagine Emma or Clarrie doing so. Even with Amber with him, they may realise they are going to have to leave Ambridge if George is to get a job #thearchers

Sue @tartanmog.bsky.social · 1d

Indeed - I had hopes for George when he came out but the fact it took him so long to 'fess up coupled with the fact he and his family are casting him as a victim means that I've lost what sympathy I had because George ended up in an adult prison #thearchers

"Minority representation on TV causes outrage"

"[Sarah Pochin] is right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

There has been widespread support for prominent Reform MP Sarah Pochin after she complained about the over-representation of minorities on television.

Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg."

She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce."

"I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television."

I imagine you can see I was speaking hypothetically. Another tweetalonger had mused that things would have been different as far as the Bull if Oliver had bought Caroline's share. I reckon that George's fate means that from childhood he was destined to be a bad 'un. #thearchers

Sue @tartanmog.bsky.social · 1d

I know - just pointing out that if Oliver had bought a share way back the current situation would still have happened as Lils would have bought in just much later #thearchers

I'm guessing that when Grey Gables went had to close, Oliver would've had to sell his share of the Bull to buy his way into the G ownsership consortium life back to GG.b Lilian would have bought Oliver's share of the Bull. She was a child there and it seemed to be why she invested #thearchers

Sue @tartanmog.bsky.social · 1d

True - I imagine Jolene would back Lilian if it came to it. George isn't exactly loved except by his family because he simply hasn't learnt his lesson. It's tough that the community he comes from has turned their backs but not surprising. Freddie isn't a good comparison #thearchers
