Got chatting to a very nice man in a bird hide today who pointed out his fellow volunteers catching jack snipe to ring and he asked if we wanted to come watch (quickest yes! of my life). Look at his little livid face. Bewildered. Fuming
Liu and her father, who had protested the Chinese government after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, were targeted in an alleged spying scheme months before Liu competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
Hahahahaha. I am Welsh and have had ChatGPT do this, and so was extremely paranoid about how it had worked it out because I'm quite careful with what I use it for. Reassuring it thinks everyone is Welsh
That's something 😂
Campbell! No! They're so nice. I've got to an age where I'm now that childless lady in the park telling off kids for kicking them. Also: lovely war heroes www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...
I want to click it, because it is slightly unhinged, but I won't, because that's what they want

This is a few days old now (which in the current news cycle feels like years) but I can't stop thinking about the flagrant racism we're witnessing at the moment

oh it's going to be a Recession recession
Exclusive: 34 school contemporaries of Nigel Farage have now come forward to claim they saw him behave in a racist or antisemitic manner, raising fresh questions over the Reform leader’s evolving denials.
Listening to Rosalia - Berghain and my partner just walked in and casually said "well this is extremely Eurovision" and I honestly have nothing I can say back to that because if you cut out the last part ... god it really is
This has made me feel slightly better about my 58 (20 years too high)
At the point of aging where my body still mostly works, knock wood, but I’ve started pointing and birds and trees and announcing their names.

France claimed: “He would chant, ‘BM, BM, we are British Nazi men,’ that really sticks in my mind ... Then he would be sort of singing these kind of ‘gas ’em all’ sort of songs.”
"I remember, very clearly; absolutely 100% true.”
New pic is great but yeah, I felt this deeply in my soul. I don't have to suffer the byline pic but it is how I feel about any picture being taken. I do not wish to be perceived!
But my point here was about protest and free speech. I would be writing to my MP if Just Stop Oil or similar had been proscribed terrorists
I'm sure different for different people but a large factor is we can see it. Social media, television, news etc. Reporting of other conflicts happens of course but why people engage less, I can't tell you
You've completely deviated from the point which is about free speech and protest.
I can't speak for "people". Only myself. I've written to my MP on this, funding for a cystic fibrosis drug, and welfare.
You've clearly got some thoughts on why but for some reason you're skirting around it
I really don't understand how that relates to my original point. It's not even really about Gaza. It's about the proscription of a protest group under a terrorism banner.
I'm sorry you think people care too much about Gaza. I think people care about it for a myriad of factors
Sorry I don't understand your point
I wrote to my MP today to ask why she voted to proscribe Palestine Action. I genuinely want to hear her reasons. After sending I worried expressing my view that it was the wrong decision could be deemed as a supporting terrorism. That this crossed my mind shows we've gone seriously wrong somewhere
What a monumental waste of time and money. This is embarrassing
