He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
It was just before Christmas, 2007 and I was doing some shopping in Peter Jones, Sloane Square. The lady in front of me at the till was struggling as her debit card would not register. Suddenly she burst into tears.
"Are you OK?" I asked. "Maybe I could pay, and you can pay me back," I said. "Oh, thank you, young man. That's very kind," she said. Next attempt, though, her card worked.
I paid too and she waited for me. She clearly wanted someone to talk to. "I'm sorry to be so emotional," she said. "But I've just been diagnosed with breast cancer this morning." I asked where she was being treated and she said, The Royal Marsden. I said that my partner (Vikki and I were not married then) was being treated there too, having been diagnosed earlier that year. I told her that the people at the @royalmarsdenNHS were the best. She thanked me for the reassurance, and we both smiled and went on our way, she a little calmer, me buoyed being being called 'young man'.
That was my encounter with #DameMaggieSmith. RIP lovely woman and wonderful actor.
In honour of the final night of the European leg of @TSTheErasTour: some of the most important things @taylorswift13 has taught me about being a woman in music. Every. Word. Keep inspiring us all ❤️ #PlayLikeAGirl
P.S. Don’t mind me while I just add an organ part to every song. #TSTheErasTour
Funny how so many far right folk who are against face and head coverings seem to suddenly want to cover their heads and faces when it comes to riot time.
Amazing how many people don’t seem to like having a Prime Minister who stands up to the extreme right instead of pandering to them like some poundshop Alf Garnett.
Get used to it, he’ll be in charge of things for quite a while, thank god.
Five days ago, Sarah Edwards stood up in the HoC and drew very public attention to the fact that the Holiday Inn in Tamworth was being used to house asylum seekers, thereby essentially doxxing hundreds of people.
Today, a lawless mob tried to set it on fire.
She should resign.
In the UK the mask has come off and we’ve seen a certain section of the populace for who they really are: people with a severe gripe against very specific high street retailers whose goods they believe should be available for free.
You put Suella Braverman in charge.
You called asylum seekers “illegal immigrants”, knowing they’re not.
You gave money, millions, to Rwanda instead of funding the processing of asylum applications.
You placated the far-right with ever more violent rhetoric.
You did this.
If I see one more classist comment I might scream.
Who is it cleaning up the towns after they were destroyed? The working class. Who is it whose jobs have been impacted by looting and rioting? The working class. Who is egging riots on from their mansions? NOT the working class
