My heart goes out to her family

My gratitude to them for their relentless search for the truth knows no end

I am not shocked by this story. Sadly I’m really not

At a shooting victims memorial it’s totally normal to talk about how you had a person shoot you too, but you dodged it. Yep.

He has the best turns. The dodgiest of turns

Trump is the dodgiest person there is

Everyone says so

With tears in their eyes they say, Trump, you are one very dodgy man

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Headline was ‘lawyer says’ before they changed it to ‘court hears’

‘Lawyer says’ still reads like he’s been vindicated although it’s marginally better

‘His defence lawyer claims’ would of been more accurate

Driving a very expensive car that’s not yours, with 16K in cash on you, not making eye contact with the police & refusing to give police your phone pin, all while insulting them.

Yep. Definitely the actions of an innocent man 🤦‍♀️ 🙄😏

I think prison is too easy for him tho. Community service?

‘Floating crown’

No you dimwit

That is the letter M

But of course you think of a crown

We all know you want to be a King sitting on a spray painted gold throne surrounded by gold trinkets in your ridiculous Ballroom 🙄

Thank you for your attention to this matter

I mean, being stopped by police in a Bentley that’s not yours with nearly £16K of cash on you, all while avoiding eye contact with police, doesn’t scream ‘I’m doing nothing dodgy guv, honest’

But maybe that’s just me 🤔 😏 🙄

Peak BlueSky for me was when Irish politics was discussed, but an American assumed they were talking about USA politics & got cross about them being against a politician called ‘Gavin’

Rather than admitting mistake they doubled down & equal amounts of hilarity & wanting to throw something ensued 🤦‍♀️😂

Next time somebody asks me what Bluesky is like, I'll send them this

It’s astonishing that they needed to be working within the party to see what most on BlueSky see.

that cult like loyalty to Farage is all that matters & he doesn’t care about the little people

At all

Most Chagossians have been welcomed into Crawley with open arms. There is no ‘surge’

The media causing yet more problems for people in our town

Ellie chats & rants @loopyleanne.bsky.social · 2d

Most people in my town are accepting and helpful. Many help out the asylum seekers here. We are a vibrant multicultural town.

If anyone gets hurt today the responsibility lies with people like Farage, Tice, Tommy ten names, and Allison Pearson who first brought attention & trouble to our town

Sharing of Allison Pearson tweet from August

She tweets- Does anyone know Crawley? Told there are six migrant hotels there.

Idiots are protesting outside an asylum seeker hotel in my town. we have never had any trouble-except for protesters who travel in to cause problems

We were going to the Harvester next door, but they called to warn us about the protest
we need to go elsewhere & harvester loses business for the day😡

For anyone who knows what they are- yes they absolutely have their benefits, but these understandably get frustrating for service users

Reducing outcomes to just numbers for funding purposes doesn’t sit well with many

Urgh

Why do we keep importing this shit from the USA 😞

And let them get away with it

So fucking dangerous ‼️

Obama has one. I think it’s as simple as that

It’s pathetic

Portland using Benny hills theme tune to ‘welcome’ Noem is AWESOME 🙌🏻

Meeting fascism with frog & chicken costumes and silly theme tunes? I’m here for it

Portland- the sensible people of the UK love you. Never change

This is really interesting. As a left hander who can’t do much at all with my right hand, being able to use both boggles my mind!

Eating- I cannot use a spoon in my right hand. At all. So eating spaghetti with a fork and spoon like a normal person?

Forget it unless I want tomato stained clothes 😂

You've heard of Noblesse oblige. Well Trump is today Nobel-less and I'm obliged to the Norwegians.

This sweetbread she’s cooking better be worth it 😜

My heart rate is going to take a while to recover from the panic

Thank god it isn’t actually serious. I’m not daft enough to tell a hormonal teenage girl that though.

This parent is learning fast to pick her battles 😂

Me panicking when I saw school were calling

Answered- it was my daughter calling from reception

“You ok? What’s up?”

“Mum you need to help me”

“What is it? What happened??”

Her- frantic. “I forgot to pack the yeast for food tech!!”

So I’m now on an “Emergency” yeast run

Teenagers, eh 🤦‍♀️ 😂

I love these! Ememem has done quite a lot of this throughout the world

It also reminded me of a guy called Jan Vorman who repairs walls with Lego

(website below also has an article about Ememem work too 😊)

Dear internet Gods

If Tom Dalys side eye doesn’t become an internet meme for the rest of time I shall be very disappointed in you!
