What do you mean, agree or disagree? I'm not going to disagree with people who have lived experience of it happening. Why would I doubt them?
The story is everywhere

I don't consider money more important that the lifetime of trauma and suffering the girls and women face to get justice and rebuild their lives. Stop diminishing their pain.
Partly perhaps, but I think there's more to it. Retribution, a need to spread fear and despair, inflict pain. There is something very dark about it all.
I wonder if these men realise how they appear when they steal the valour of women. Do they think it commands respect? Do they think anyone is impressed? Or does everyone just think they have small man syndrome?
2/2 When I mentioned that the Gospels were pretty clear on Jesus' life and teachings they disappeared from the discussion and never replied again.
Yes, you're right. I had an exchange on Threads with someone who said they were Catholic and MAGA. I said you can't follow Jesus' teachings and be MAGA. They were pissed off with the Pope and said noone knows what Jesus would have thought about anything Trump was doing 1/2
Trump's obsession with nuclear weapons is well-known among American political commentators and scholars, as I've heard it mentioned multiple times. He is deranged enough to push the button, too.
And yet we wake up this morning and he's still in the WH.
What a shit show.
There's definitely something in that, agree.
Why America? Why would you tolerate this and put your children at risk?
I did too. I don't remember much about it apart from the xray to see if any damage had been done. The metal plate was very cold.
Respect is earned
🔴 Britain’s Solar Revolution Is Here and We Should Be Shouting It From the Rooftops
Ed Miliband is helping to turn the country into a nation of ‘solar zealots’ and I'm enthusiastically along for the ride. Thankfully I'm not alone.

There hasn't been for a least a decade. Some say longer.
Ok to Miliband but I wish his brother had won the leadership contest all those years ago. I think things would have turned out differently in lots of ways. I knew him as education minister and he was very impressive.
I don't disagree with much of this, Alex. But who would replace him? This is what concerns me. I don't see a candidate.
Thank you to your sister. Brave and selfless.
If the media succeeds in getting rid of Starmer who exactly will take his place @mrjamesob.bsky.social ? He's offering strong leadership in the face of the clown show in the US.
What on earth are we doing here?
The public doesn’t care about this minutiae. Tighten up the procedures and move on.
Totally agree. Public wants stability in government at this time.
Ordinary people are not riled up like the media. Lots of clips out there indicating the media has lost the public over Mandelson.
They moved on when he was sacked 7 months ago. Pity our hacks can’t read the electorate.
I don't listen to News Agents very often these days because he grinds my gears.
🤣
Play acting.
What the actual f*ck is this, BBC?
Omg - what took them so long? It was obvious on the day it happened it was a stunt.
Why did so many people pretend it was for real?
That includes a number of high-profile podcasters who totally embarrassed themselves.
Zero chance of the same thing happening in the US. Zero!
Yeah he got that right, he's a fruit cake.
We have a rescue, and now I have something in my eye...
I'm so sorry, Jon. I had the axe fall on me once by an editor because I didn’t go to public school or Oxbridge. Literally. You will go through stages of grief and anger but it will all come good in the end. Better things await you.
In a nutshell. 😊
The EU isn't declining. We are.
