Ron for World Leader
Before that election Freddy, he needs to be asked why he has to go to Israel to announce legislation that effects Florida.
I admit, he comes across as legit.. but so did the buffoon Trump at first.. Operation Warp Speed anyone..
I see your point, but I’d sooner trust desantis than ..Well, any other leader worldwide!
He’s funded & supported by the Bush family & I’ve been told by folk who live in Florida that there is much legislation which he could enact if he really was a truther that he has ignored & shut down debate on.
None of the individuals who get to even run for major office are going to be on our side.
They’re selected to carry out orders & lend a façade of credibility to purported democracy.
Yes.. I fear you’re right Bertie. I’m rather surprised that people still don’t get it..
Trust a politician Dinger.. any politician.. ????
Kinda like Victor Orban myself…on a general level…I don’t think anyone anywhere can be all good, or everything you would want…
I am more impressed by Vivek Ramaswamy.
Very interesting summary of the 3rd Covid summit. Held in Brussels, facilitated by a few MEPs.
The MEPs that facilitated this meeting were all from countries behind the iron curtain and were old enough to remember what totalitarianism looked like.

“Teacher sacked after refusing to use eight year-old’s trans pronouns” – Primary school tutor was told her Christian beliefs and welfare concerns could constitute “an act of direct discrimination”,
So let me get this straight: it’s NOT discrimination to discriminate against a teacher for their religious beliefs and being – justifiably, IMHO – concerned about a child’s welfare, but it IS discrimination not to call an 8 year old by a pronoun they probably don’t even fully understand the meaning of? Riiiight.
I must admit.. as a grandparent with grandchildren at primary school this sort of thing sickens me to my stomach. I’ve told both my daughters to keep an eye on what’s going on at schools, and to be very aware that this sort of behaviour is becoming commonplace..
Have to keep up with the socially acceptable norms though….

The brewery renaming its beer White Face to Cheeky Jack – henceforth should be known as Penitent Face. For goodness sake! Pandering to the whims of the ‘might easily be offended’ brigade, again. Best served not on a beer mat but a miniature door mat, with a side order of nuts!
Are pale ales and dark ales to be renamed next?
Hmmn.. Guinness.. black with a white top.. BAN IT
Yes but it’s more black than white so that’s ok!
But the white is on top of the black so that must be white supremacy, surely?
I didn’t want to say that
Good one Dinger.. haha..
It is not at all clear who might be offended.
Relating to the Kathleen Stock article above, here is a very good account of the situation in universities by Julie Bindel. To me this is just another very stand-out example of how Unis now are nothing more than indoctrination camps when the very opposite should be true. Makes my blood boil reading personal accounts of people’s treatment such as this. She makes it sound like a madhouse and the inmates have taken over. Who would want their child going to such a place?
”It is surely undeniable that unions – those representing both students and staff – care more about the “rights’ of trans people than those of women. Women are routinely de-platformed and face protests when invited to speak on campus.
Those of us who have a long history of fighting for the rights of lesbians, and those campaigning to end men’s violence, often bear the brunt of this. The latest debacle involving my friend Kathleen Stock is a very good example of how certain women are specifically singled out to suffer the most atrocious behaviour from these idiotic students, on many occasions with the backing of academic staff.
Kathleen is due to speak at Oxford University at the end of the month, and the blue-fringed protestors have been out in force ever since the event was announced. As soon as anyone utters the word “transphobia’, the powers-that-be capitulate in a sickening way, throwing fine feminists such as Kathleen to the wolves.
The university’s LGBTQ+ society has released a statement condemning the union for the invitation, accusing Stock of being a “transphobic and trans-exclusionary speaker”. Additionally, and quite remarkably, the society accused the union of ignoring the welfare of its members under the guise of free speech. The Oxford Union has since said it will provide “welfare resources” to students given the “sensitive nature” of the occasion. A porn performer recently took part in an event at the university despite the fact that some women might find this offensive or triggering, and I have no problem with that.”

Linda Yaccarino, big win for Team James.
Panic! Linda Yaccarino will start as the new CEO of twitter.
She was very pro-vaccine, mask, and lockdown.
She is also the Chairman of the WEF’s Taskforce on Future of Work and sits on the WEF’s Media, Entertainment and Culture Industry Governors Steering Committee!
Free speech on Twatter didn’t last long then.. am I surprised.. NO!
