It's a moral outrage that these penguins are in this basement, treated this way, born into this as well, living their entire lives here. We should call for a boycott.

When I heard about the conditions these penguins are kept in, from the Daily Express, a couple of years ago, I was shocked. It's unbelievable actually. I think if we need to boycott Merlin to make them change what they do, we should do that.

"They've chosen Farage to build up as an ally who has the potential to be someone like a JD Vance figure," journalist Jane Bradley tells The News Agents.

"Sources told me that lawyers for the ADF in the UK effectively said he's the best out of a bad bunch"

Christ alive. If we, as a nation, can’t do better than this nasty, stale-breathed, stale-minded, racist misogynist prick, then what the hell are we doing? Leading in the polls??

I'm old enough to remember Action Man "randy" Andy.

In my childhood, he was hailed by the press as a war hero - the "handsome prince" and when he married Sarah Ferguson, it was a major national event.

How ridiculous and embarrassing it all seems now.

And in fact always was.

The NoKings Protest numbered in the millions across the US.

By way of comparison the most generous estimates of the largest Tea Party protest day (April 15th 2009) put it at 320,000 nationwide.

The largest gathering that day was maybe 15,000 in Atlanta, Georgia.

NYC today had over 100,000.

This is why we'd neeed to treat Jan 6th like Sept 11th. We The People must never forgive nor forget the Republicans utter betrayal of our Constitution and nation for #TraitorTrump & #P2025 Nothing like Trump's Maladministration can happen again. The Republican fascists have become domestic enemies.
