Incredibly brave man.

Next time a maniac commits some atrocity, remember that for every Islamic terrorist there are millions of peaceful Muslims just living a peaceful life.

Or, like this wonderful guy, risking everything to save strangers of a different religion.
7News Australia reports that the hero who jumped and disarmed one of the terrorist shooters

His name is Ahmed el-Ahmed

A 43 year old married father of two

He owns a fruit shop in Sutherland

No experience with guns

He was walking past

He has two bullets in his arm

Best comment so far on that ridiculous Daily Mail article about Poles returning to Poland.
Damned Poles, going over there, leaving their jobs.

Some people never use their GPs or hospitals

20% of people won’t visit at all in any one year

Then there are people who visit 50 times, due not fault of their own

It’s often the healthy or wealthy that can’t see the point of investing in healthcare until they or family need it

My god I have respect for satirists right now. It must be the most difficult job going. This from the ever brilliant @rosieisaholt.bsky.social is effectively government policy.

The EU has just made sure its biggest bargaining chip in the negotiations over Ukraine's future is no longer subject to national vetos. And that is even true independently of the fate of the reparations loan because now a qualified majority is required to unblock the funds again. Well done.

This is a key element of the reparations loan.

Well said, and to think Starmer was a Human Rights lawyer. 🤔 shameful.
