What a recipe...the USA, with the "help" of some allies, has rained down a beating on a middle Eastern country, known for supporting terrorists, JUST in time for the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Does Iran encourage actual attacks...or do they just imply they will and watch ICE do THEIR thing??

Is the whole Trump cabal just made up of the worst people from every walk of life, gathered together, like a government cancer!!!

Stop sacrificing America's children to hide your involvement in the Epstein sex trafficking ring.

A danger with that comes with people like myself (I'm told I'm in a small minority, but nonetheless there are people like me), that don't WANT to watch videos, have no choice, so tend to just watch them silently & read the captions. If those captions aren't correct, it leads to miscommunication.

"I never thought I would say this, but for the first time since I was able to vote, when I next get to vote I won't be voting for the Labour party. I don't even know where to start...My most important concern, you are NOT doing anywhere near enough about the situation in Gaza (I imagine you are scared of being labelled antisemitic). Please be aware, you ARE going to be on the wrong side of history and Mr Starmer will be an embarrassing footnote in the history books.
A very close second to this though...stop trying to appeal to the right wing...I'm as certain of this as I am of the above, you are NEVER going to win over any Reform voters, all you are doing is losing loyal Labour voters. Leave appealing to the right wing for the tories...They are going full right wing, and you should be equally going left wing, not timidly following them!! Show people the real difference in ideologies, don't try to be a "Diet Tory"!!
I had high hopes when Keir Starmer became leader of the party, and gladly shouted it from the rooftops before the general election you won...now...I'm sick of being dunked on. They are using your current courting of the right wing as "proof" that even the Labour party have realised that we don't want "all these foreigners here".
I think you've done some good work since taking power, but for every piece of good work, there are countless embarrassing TV appearances, U-turns, and shameful pandering to the right.
Take a stand...a simple first step: Leave Twitter...Your presence on that cesspool of a website (And 100's of others)continues to give Elon Musk credibility, lest you've forgotten, this man is a Nazi!!
I feel sick to my stomach for saying it, but I can't in all good conscience vote for this party anymore, but I thought I would give me reasons why in the hope that if enough of us speak up, you might listen...I really doubt it though. Please feel free to prove me wrong though."

The attached screenshot is from a complaint I made to the Labour party last August...I was ONCE a member of the Labour party through my union affiliation (I am now no longer a member of either, that's another story) and still consider myself a Labour supporter.

I always find lots of new comics are like this now...It's pretty poor, and shows what these companies think of their customers.

This Marvel thing of having different price points, some having better cover stock than others, is REALLY bad as, to me, that's deliberately done.

I did not, before this week, realise that I wanted to see a giant hulk Vs Galactus...

@ryannorth.ca knew that I did though...How did you know??

This recent thing of launching a new #1, no hint that it's going to just be a limited run...then they get to #10 and finish it!!!

It's got to the point where I don't trust new titles anymore. I don't mind a good limited series, or mini-series, but tell me that's what it is in advance!!!

What movie death scene is seared into your memory?

This was a very close call between Samuel's death and Tristan's death...but Samuel's death in a World War 1 battlefield just hits on so many more levels.

I often like his work. When he's talking about his passions, he's very knowledgeable and interesting to listen too...but his friendships leave a lot to be desired. I've never really gotten over the whole "Sachsgate" thing...He seems to be easily led, and has some questionable friends.

Jonathan Ross has always been difficult for me. We share so many interests, movies, comics, toys...but there is very often something about him that gives me the ick...if you watch his ITV chat-show, which I don't anymore, he can be very...ick...with female guests. He has done some wonderful TV and

Do people realise, those scenes in the Robocop films where corporations run parts of government and start dictating terms...

That film was meant to be a cautionary tale, not a freaking instruction manual!

I'd tell you to check with AI as to where you should shove AI...but it would get it wrong!

Yep, also concur. Hadn't read UXM since the turn of the millennium...then saw they'd got this writer whose work I love, so gave it a try two years ago.

Straight back into it...like a comfy old coat...but with the odd surprising things in the pockets. #TorturedAnalogy

TBF...I bought some X-Men comics online last year...turned out it was a sting operation, next thing I know some LGBTQ people came smashing through my door and confiscated ALL my x-Men comics. #ThingsThatNeverHappened

Had always planned to visit NYC last year for my 50th, after the election we decided not to.

Currently looking into visiting Toronto instead, would rather spend my money in Canada...I think they deserve it more.

People vote for politicians in the same way they pick their favourites on Strictly or Britain's Got Talent...they believe they are "great" at it, because last year they voted for the winner on BGT!!!

I view voting as picking the "least worse", as that's often the only choices we have!!!
