Indeed. Looking forward to the courgette, peppers, apple and ginger batch although I will have to wait 6 weeks before it is ready.

When you think things can’t get any grimmer. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/feb/21/middle-east-crisis-live-updates-israel-idf-hostages-hamas

Perhaps we should ship out all of the indigenous population who don’t respect our culture and pull their weight economically and replace them with immigrants who will do? It seems odd that we (well, some of us) apply certain standards to some but not to others depending on where they come from

Still see them around here too. The local charities are also still collecting cloths and other items for Ukraine, although they are also collecting for Gaza now.

Here we go again. If you ever bothered to pay attention you would know that I called Hamas out after the attack on 7th October. If you hadn’t noticed, it has been pretty much one way traffic the other way since then. Or am I supposed to mention 7th October after every one of the attacks by the IDF since then? As with the other but more important narcissist, you live in a disinformation bubble. Shouldn't you be delivering for your boss? How are things at Dominoes by the way?

Whoops! https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/elon-musk-humiliated-ai-confirms-34716740.amp

A significant proportion who, if they were living in the US, would be wearing red MAGA baseball caps and cheering on the First Buddy’s every bullshit statement.

There will be plenty who agree with her sadly. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/liz-truss-donald-trump-maga-cpac-b2701664.html

No surprise that he fell for that bullshit. The man involved was not arrested for praying. He was arrested for not moving along when requested by the police. There is a zone specifically around these centres to prevent women from being intimidated. When asked to vacate the zone he refused. This misinformation is being spread by those who know exactly what they are doing and being picked as a fact by those who want to believe it.

Exactly this. You would have to have a heart of stone not to be appalled at the butchery inflicted by both sides against the other on innocent people and the pictures of the desolate remains of the Gaza Strip which stands as yet more testimony against man’s inhumanity against his fellow man. As has been said many times on this thread, there are no goodies and baddies here, just a bloodlust from the extremists on both sides of the divide and piles of innocent dead bodies of the people who have paid the price for the warped ideologies of others. Neither side can claim any moral high ground.

Dumb and Dumber - Trump and Musk both like to spout “alternative facts” when the real facts don’t suit their narratives. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/economy/2025/2/21/musk-vows-to-fix-x-after-polls-show-high-support-for-ukraines-zelenskyy

Which is the big issue here. Safe and legal routes are very limited which is why people are risking their lives crossing the channel. They need to be here to apply for asylum.

It is not illegal to seek asylum here, dummy. They were foreigners escaping persecution. Why didn’t they go the first safe country? You are ok with Ukrainians coming here but not Muslim’s fleeing war torn countries. By the way, you might not listen to Katie Hopkins but you sound just like her in your posts. So…let’s pretend that Putin invades the UK and you decide to take yourself and your family to safety. You can speak Italian and have a support network in Italy. You get in a small boat and escape to France, the first safe country. You cannot speak French and have no support network there. Does it makes sense for you and your family to stay there are to try and get to Italy where it will be easier for you to relocate?

The trouble is in his own reality anything that doesn’t confirm his omnipotence and all encompassing wonderfulness is fake. He is a 100% pure gold narcissist and it won’t even enter his head that he is not both universally loved and brilliant.

This sums up the current situation perfectly. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/19/kyivs-white-house-wooing-implodes-as-zelenskyy-tells-the-truth-about-trump

You spend too far much time listening to the likes of Farage and Katie Hopkins. By your logic the Kindertransport children would have been turned back at Dover. By your logic we would not be liable to take any asylum seekers at all.

Not a day goes by when this moron doesn’t embarrass himself and anyone with any level of basic intelligence and humanity. How does it come to this?

Talking of Dictators… https://www.euronews.com/2025/02/19/trump-calls-zelenskyy-a-dictator-slamming-kyiv-leadership 🙄

For those who don’t believe that Trump is Putin’s puppet. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9814k2jlxko.amp

I may have missed it but where exactly is Rory Stewart having a “hissy fit” and claiming that Rishi Sunak is British but not English? The person in the video is not Rory Stewart.

More far right buffoonery. And people here in the UK lap it up. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/18/nigel-farage-jordan-peterson-co-worship-each-other-in-alt-right-heaven

Ah bless you for being concerned. No need to worry though. I have spent the last couple of hours making a courgette, apple and ginger chutney. It’s my first effort at making chutney so fingers crossed eh?

I don’t know if it is true or not but there is a rumour doing the rounds that, during Trump’s phone call to Putin he said something like…”You run a cool country, I run a cool country. Let’s carve up the rest of the world”. No surprise that he is sending a Real Estate expert to Ukraine and Gaza under the guise of a senior diplomat.

And you have found yours with Turkish.

Is east-stand-nic actually Turkish II? 🤔
