The UK is stuck in the past & will never move beyond the current mess, unless monarchy goes & a modern constitution is introduced. That will never happen because this is a symbol of English nationalism. Scotland needs a #FreshStart

#AbolishWestminster and sell off all the trappings I say and assets to look after the UK nations and their people!

Never mind the line of succession The monarchy is a blood sucking anachronism in the 21st century Let’s use parliaments power to dissolve the monarchy take the assets into public ownership and allow all of the members of the royal hangers on to experience the joy of working for a living

Andrew Thomson @quantinghome.bsky.social · 2d

Well, parliament can always change the rules on the succession, and has done so on multiple occasions. They could even reinstate the Stuarts if they felt like it. I think the next in line is currently a princess in Liechtenstein.

Sounds like Trump plans to invade Nigeria after Venezuela.

The new crusades.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a "COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN" — But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!
DONALD J. TRUMP,
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

And yet he is quite happy to ignore the massacres of Christians (and Muslims) carried out by the genocidal zionist entity in Gaza.....and spreading to the West Bank!!! Add HYPOCRITE to the list of his descriptors!

Our ancestors celebrated the new year at Hallowe’en, not in January.

Samhain marked the moment between light and dark – when the old year died and the new one was born. 🌒 Find out more ⤵️

Autumn is the mind’s true spring, and Hallowe’en its new year

Our new year is an uneasy celebration tagged onto Christmas. Much better to return to its proper place, in autumn

Ex Prince Nonce - now Nonce, financed by King Charles therefore.
UK Tax Rules apply, allowing for a gift from a relative of £3k per year. Anything above that is taxable.
The people of the UK expect nothing less that the Tax authorities are as demanding and adroit on Nonce as they are on the Plebs.

I've written a couple of things over the last days about how the government and much of Westminster remaining on X as the platform becomes increasingly toxic is having consequences for our politics...

Our politics is increasingly normalised to racism – because politicians are addicted to X

The platform has quietly dragged British politics into a dark place

"Why is the chancellor weighing up taxes on ordinary workers (who are already struggling) when she could tax the super-rich (who would barely notice it) instead?"

Because she has too many friends who would be affected....also, she - along with this entire government are RIGHT-WING
