Microbiologist! I keenly ‘follow’ evolution from 3.5 billion years ago to the Burgess Shale era. 'Liberal' but not of the orthodox kind and so no affiliations!

Israel executed Theodosia Karam in South Lebanon.

A young Christian woman returning home after finishing her university exams.

Israel struck her family’s civilian car, killing Theodosia, her brother Tony, and her father James.

Today, the Christian town of Qlayaa buried them.

We need the Christian leaders in the UK and all over Europe to call Israel out for heinous acts of murder of civilians of Lebanon trying to lead a life of 'normalcy' but where IDF 'gamers' shoot to kill innocent civilians with their joysticks. Israel's War in Lebanon is one of futility as is it will do nothing to stop the missiles hitting Northern Israel. We need a comprehensive agreement between Iran and Israel, not one that pushes the can down the road..

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

More of CNN's false equivalence language. Ukraine is not targeting St. Petersburg, but striking military installations, Russian warships, and oil refineries. It's the Russian terror state that strikes cities and targets civilians. https://t.co/Cy7DgqtkuT

🚨 James O’Brien ABSOLUTELY RINSES a Brexit voter live on LBC

Brexit voter Richard: “You’re very rude to me, aren’t you?”

James: “I am very rude to you because of what you’ve done to my country.”

One year on: GDP hit by 6-8%, trade down 15%, businesses struggling, no sunlit uplands in sight, just excuses.

This level of brutal accountability is what we need back.
Full rinse here 👇👇👇👇

Brexit has made the nation poorer while Nigel 'Teflon' Farage may become the next PM as like lemmings we this imposter off the precipice, taking the UK with it! Labour's Tax revenue hits on businesses was down to stagnation of Tax coming into the treasury to pay for the services we all want-it tied its hands with too many manifesto promises that pleased voters but someone had to pay the price when Brexit caused a huge hit on GDP, reducing Tax revenues by over £50 billion a year. Nothing should be seen in isolation!

Israel massacred this entire Syrian family in Adloun, South Lebanon.

A father. A mother. Six children.

They fled the bloodshed of Syria hoping to find safety.

Instead, Israel dropped a bomb on their home and exterminated the entire family in a single strike.

[Derek (Del) Pickard @DelPickard]

Israel acts as the judge and the executioner of Lebanese people. The state of Israel decays as the IDF can murder with impunity since they know their arms suppliers, the USA, give total support to them with no boundaries. The modern definition of what a 'ceasefire' means will need to change as what we see here and in Gaza is a cessation in name only, not in action.

Siegfried Funeral Music - Götterdämmerung - Solti - VPO https://t.co/DOJrZzEF5L via @YouTube A thrilling ride with Sir George Solti through one of the most glorious pieces of classical music that must be heard live whenever possible! Simon Rattle played this with the LSO at the Barbican on Thursday along with the ultimate finale of Götterdämmerung and he is doing so again on Sunday- grab, steal or buy a ticket if you can- it was the LSO at its brilliant best like the VPO in this video!

I filmed this moment.

For three days, to mark Kyiv Day, the fountain of Kyiv’s founders came back to life.

Why only for three days?

Because of security and energy-saving measures during the war.

These are stunning images from the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes, dating from around 400BC. That they survived is a miracle in itself!

Netanyahu 🇮🇱 admits to instructing his ‘army’ to seize 70% of Gaza 🇵🇸 as a ‘step’ to taking it all:

There is no ‘ceasefire’

It’s never been ‘defence’

It’s always been ethnic cleansing
It’s always been land theft
It’s always been about a ‘Greater 🇮🇱’

Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.

[Derek (Del) Pickard @DelPickard]

What hope for any peace when Israel is governed by such morally vacant leaders such as Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben-Gvir and Katz. They only dream of more slaughter, more atrocities and a 'greater Israel'. The ideals set out by Martin Buber, Daniel Barenboim and Yitzhak Rabin are trampled upon by these nihilists and by the hollow Men on Trump's 'Board of Peace'.

One of the most terrible things we will have to face in the future is learning, one way or another, how many people died in Mariupol in the spring of 2022, when Russia was leveling the city to the ground along with its inhabitants.

Among them were my former classmate and the father of a good friend of mine.

And how many more remain unknown to us, lying in the vast anonymous mass graves on the outskirts of Mariupol, visible even in satellite images.

[Derek (Del) Pickard @DelPickard]

We must never forget. Russia one day will have to leave the land it has conquered in Ukraine otherwise it will be tormented by the dead and the wasteland it created with its conquests of so many Ukrainian towns and cities. Israel and Russia share a common inhumanity and moral decay. Both countries will have generations cursed by what they did in Gaza and Ukraine respectively..

My cousin’s daughter Mariam Ferwana, 3, the most beautiful girl in the family.

She was always friendly and pleasant. She wanted to be a barbie and fly.

Israel killed her, and killed her mother, father, grandparents and all her family.
