It would take Charles one hour to do the trip by car. The cars are going anyway, but he insists on being flown by helicopter. Shameless hypocrite on the environment.

@MonolithicFilm @OlenaRohoza Charities in the U.K. are tightly regulated. There may have been a tiny minority that have been involved in misusing funds in the past but the vast majority do great work & use funds very carefully for maximum effect, it’s easy to research UK charity finances online.

I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone. Every day, older patients call us confused.

They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link. Some of them do not know what a portal is.

Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.

He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.

He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.

But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.

Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.

Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

@SimonForrest11 It’s a great anthem just makes me cringe that we sing “but we can still rise now and be the nation again…” when we’re the only country in the world to vote against our own independence! Wish we actually did believe in ourselves and the words we sing!

@archer_rs What a joke, everyone knows Farage is a grifter, he should have thought of that first! Shows that the ideological difference between Tory & Reform is non-existent!

Bernard Ponsonby: “[But] enshrined in the Scotland Act was this Section 30 process [meaning] Westminster has a veto forever and a day. Therefore the question is whether you think that legal veto is something that sits comfortably with democracy.”

From facebook.
If we had the same voting system as Westminster we would have
60 SNP
4 tories
4 Lib Dem
2 labour
2 greens.
So, when Unionists start talking about majorities it's to muddy the waters. Look at the numbers above and tell me that's not a mandate for a referendum.

SNP set to be largest party in Scotland

Plaid set to be largest party in Cymru

Reform making gains in England

Shall we all just shake hands and agree to go our seperate ways then aye?

[Michael Stewart @mstewart_23]

Bernard Ponsonby has absolutely nailed the Independence Referendum question.

Does the current legal veto of Westminster sit with the notion of democracy?

We all know the answer to that rhetorical question.

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump The late Billy Graham was a true man of God. He would’ve never sold out to the devil.

All 168 Iranian schoolgirls would be alive, the Strait of Hormuz would be open, and gas would be $2.85 a gallon if Trump had gone to prison for his crimes.

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration.

​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro. Dozens more were injured.

​The military assistance you are so proud of stopping was used to save lives in a war Russia started and continues every day by choice, in a war that only became possible after USA pressured Ukraine into disarming...

​I do not know if Vance can fully comprehend the scale of the tragedy unfolding here: a brutal, illegal war of extermination by Russia, and the slow abandonment by our allies. There is nothing to be proud of. Absolutely nothing.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Magyar on Ukraine 🇭🇺🇺🇦:

"Everyone in Hungary knows that Ukraine is a victim of this war and no one should tell them under what conditions they should enter a peace or sign a peace treaty. We cannot tell any country to give up their territory.

And this is what the Fidesz politicians said. Then I would like to ask them: What would you do if Russia attacked Hungary? Which Hungarian counties would you be willing to give up?

Ukraine should receive security guarantees and territorial guarantees that can be observed and kept. Ukraine, under the Budapest Memorandum, gave up its nuclear arsenal for guarantees, but those guarantees were violated repeatedly by Russia."🔚

This is a good starting point. Hopefully, the relationship between our countries can be mended from here. I'm really looking forward to having sane neighbors.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

Today, I am truly saddened.
Not because Donald Trump compared himself to Jesus Christ or insulted the Pope for speaking against the war. All of that was expected from this man.
I am saddened by the millions of Christians who have been blinded by this man’s moral depravity and have chosen to remain silent.
As the German pastor and anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
Because if you step back for a moment and look honestly, Donald Trump is not simply another flawed leader. Every leader is flawed. The issue is something deeper. It is the inversion of the values that Jesus Christ taught.
Christ preached humility. Trump elevates himself.
Christ preached truth. Trump chronically spreads lies.
Christ preached love for enemies. Trump thrives on enemies and hatred.
This is not subtle. It is not ambiguous.
And yet, millions saw this and still chose to defend it. They convinced themselves that he somehow represents “Christian values.”
But what are those Christian values?
Trump is the antithesis of Jesus’ teachings. Instead of love, he promotes hatred; instead of forgiveness, vengeance; instead of meekness, ego and self-glorification. And the list goes on.
Some argue that Trump stands for Christian values by being “pro-life,” but he is not. A truly pro-life position cannot align itself with a war criminal Vladimir Putin, who is responsible for genocide against Ukrainians. But even on the traditional abortion issue, Trump’s position is not pro-life. The only thing he said is that abortion policy should be decided by individual states rather than at the federal level. That is the extent of it. When the issue was politically advantageous, he presented himself as strongly pro-life. When it became inconvenient, his stance shifted.
The warning signs were there all along.
After becoming president, Trump began portraying himself in monarchical terms, sharing images of himself wearing a crown, surrounded by gold statues, and embracing symbols of personal glorification. Yet his followers dismissed it.
“It’s just a joke,” they said.
But words shape reality. And eventually, actions followed. A pattern emerged that increasingly ignored limits, bypassed norms, and concentrated power. And still, the defense continued.
Then came something that should have been a breaking point.
Prominent religious figures, including Paula White and Franklin Graham, began drawing comparisons between Trump and Christ. That should have triggered outrage. Because for Christians, there is no higher comparison.
And yet, there was no widespread rejection. Just silence.
And now, when imagery appears depicting Trump as Christ Himself, that silence remains.
This is no longer about politics.
It is about what happens when faith is subordinated to power.
When loyalty replaces truth.
When identity replaces conviction.
When a man begins to occupy a space that belongs to God alone.
Christianity was never meant to serve power.
Are we still following Christ?
Or have we started following something else?

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

People seem to have forgotten the two massive spikes in oil trading, one on 23 March, immediately before Donald Trump’s post announcing a delay in attacks on Iran’s energy infrastructure, and the other on 7 April when he declared a ceasefire. Investors made something like $1.5 billion. But were these a genuine huge gamble, or was it insider trading — a serious criminal offence in the US?

Trump says his life was better before he became president.
Dude, everyone's lives were better before you became president!
