The text on my cover photo reads:

"Never give up the fight for freedom and the truth"

Fr Jerzy Popiełuszko, murdered 40 years ago in Poland for his pro-Solidarity activism, and battle against extremism.

I'm sorry to hear that, too.

I understand and, to be clear, I'm with the people of the US on the No Kings campaign.

"Fans need to treat this World Cup as a high-risk travel event — not a holiday you can book last minute.”

Meanwhile, absolute crickets from FIFA

Thousands of people planning to go from the UK to the USA next year have been warned they could be turned away.

Old tweets mean thousands heading to USA in 2026 will be refused entry

Pre-empted this four months ago by cancelling our holiday planned for January. Now going to Mexico instead.

So, the same number as marched in the entire USA, in a nation of 350 million - as opposed to 125 million in Japan, which is not part of America?

Something about the people of Birmingham lining their pigeon lofts with the Mail. Insulting not only that paper but the people of the city. It was pathetic but typical of the attitudes towards the rest of the country by those working in the capital. Only served to show their utter ignorance.

It's always been like this. 30 years I worked for the Evening Standard which became embroiled in a spat with the Birmingham Evening Mail - can't remember why. The reporter on the Standard wrote such nonsense about Birmingham and its people that I was embarrassed to be associated with it.

I will suggest he posts more here as I think BotP still mainly uses the other site.

Dorothy Lepkowska #FBPE @dotlepkowska.bsky.social · 3d

These people live among us and it's f-ing scary.

Dorothy Lepkowska #FBPE @dotlepkowska.bsky.social · 3d

I'm sorry..

Dorothy Lepkowska #FBPE @dotlepkowska.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you, and I'm sorry.

Dorothy Lepkowska #FBPE @dotlepkowska.bsky.social · 4d

Thank you so much!

On a happier note, was heading to south Oxfordshire to do some parkrun tourism today but doing a detour as found an inaugural event.
See you at Kilkenny Lane Country park in a bit, then.

My lovely Dad would have been 95 today.
I miss him so much.

Here we are on my first birthday.

So, anyway, happy 19th anniversary to my super hubster, @baseofthepyramid.bsky.social 🎉

Dorothy Lepkowska #FBPE @dotlepkowska.bsky.social · 8d

Indeed! 😂

19 years ago this evening I was enjoying my last night as a single woman, in a bar with three people who had seven former marriages between them.

'Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong'

No Brexit champion, particularly Nigel Farage, is worthy of high office after proving so conclusively wrong on such a seismic issue, says Mirror Associate Editor Kevin Maguire

Reminds me of my daughter's fifth birthday and we hosted a big party for all the kids in her class. One of the boys just missed out on winning a prize in a game. We felt terrible when he started crying and invented another game so that he could win a prize too.
(True story).

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · 12d

Actually, it does work like that now. The US Congress could pass a resolution giving Trump a Nobel Prize, the White House would host a formal ceremony, and within months it would become “true” for half of the country that Trump had won a Nobel Prize.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 12d

Rep. Buddy Carter: "Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's why I'm introducing a resolution today that will honor him with the Nobel Peace Prize."

(It doesn't work like that lol)

He didn't lose it. He never had it. It was never his.

Dorothy Lepkowska #FBPE @dotlepkowska.bsky.social · 17d

Clearly, it has.

Sarah Murphy @13sarahmurphy.bsky.social · 17d

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Dorothy Lepkowska #FBPE @dotlepkowska.bsky.social · 17d

Christiany. He can't even spell the word.

Dorothy Lepkowska #FBPE @dotlepkowska.bsky.social · 18d

Totally correct, James. When you look at the roll call of those who were purged it just highlights the awfulness of what remained.

By the way, you were great in The House of Guinness.

Dorothy Lepkowska #FBPE @dotlepkowska.bsky.social · 19d

It's not the diversity of opinion - it's the sneering hatred and the intolerance of someone being happy and enjoying life.
Must be so hard for you to see that.
