Is this a popular opinion ?
Not in some circles

Is she right ?
Yes

Her bottom line is actually life-enhancing :

Try to live an honest life ..and be aware that unlawfulness will likely have consequences

I’d add ..what’s racist ( or reverse-racist) is to expect no legal consequences for minorities

As to the sad ending ..that’s a choice he’ll have went for, given the other choice, perhaps to perpetuate the victimhood, or maybe avoid facing all those cheerleaders he so obviously fooled, he knows how they’d have turned on him, and thought his exit will stop it, and it did.

Enablers or fence-sitters must reflect deeply on this
His choices throughout are partly on them

@alexbland Was Ann bailing out royals ?
Follow the money ?

This terrible news has really knocked me for six. Alex Younger was a truly outstanding Head of MI6 during my time as PM and an exemplary public servant. He has been taken from us far too soon.

Due to the nature of their work, few fully understand the service and sacrifice made by those working in our intelligence and security services - but be in no doubt, Alex made our country a safer place and we all owe him an enormous debt of gratitude for that.

I had the privilege to continue working with Alex and to remain good friends after we both left office; I will miss him dreadfully. He was a remarkable man - tremendously knowledgable and insightful, but also such fantastic company and fun to be with. Kind, thoughtful; a good man in every sense.

At a time when our world is more confrontational, volatile and, frankly, dangerous, his expertise and great wisdom will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Sarah and his family at this sad time.

@FernandoAmandi Glad you clarified, the Pontiff can now get back to being happy and functional, and sleeping well at night.

Being American and perceived as easier to entrap politically, they demanded @Pontifex excommunicated some Catholic voices in the media..

Pope Leo XIV responds :
“There must be a two-state solution.”

The Vicar of Christ then knelt down on Mount Lebanon, before the tomb of its patron saint Charbel.

The Mayor of London is ill-advised to write from such an insular premise.

London is meant to, at least tolerate, people from all the countries of the British nation marching on their capital city.
Peaceful protests, whether Pro EU or Pro UK are hardly a threat to Londoners,

Though it would be nice to hear the Mayor’s statements of fear on the London marches of the Mujahideen & co.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

[Carl K @CarlQueries]

Not necessarily about numbers, but this is far right in terms of zeros added to 100,000

You gotta rely on your fellow Marxist Guardian for evidence
And that’s not to sound like team Robinson, it’s merely a statement of fact.

Given this was organised by a “street thug”, it’s a mega turnout, Reform will have no choice but to incorporate people like Robinson.
It might even leave the Tories wondering whether THEY should seize the momentum and cost up to such figures.

And you can thank Starmer for it when it happens.

Gen. Flynn mounts pressure..
Considered a heavy-weight where Trump support is concerned, this makes it tricky for POTUS to ignore such open petitions..but it might even trickier to declassify any Epstein intel, triggering retaliation from dark forces that don’t expect the red line crossed, which then threatens national security in the 🇺🇸 and other western powers.
Not to mention the popular uproar, Neither party has any interest in going there, hence it was fine for Epstein to conveniently do away with himself, just ask Bill Barr

[General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn]

.@realDonaldTrump please understand the EPSTEIN AFFAIR is not going away.

If the administration doesn’t address the massive number of unanswered questions about Epstein, especially the ABUSE OF CHILDREN BY ELITES (it is very clear that abuse occurred), then moving forward on so many other monumental challenges our nation is facing becomes much harder.

TRUST was deeply violated by both @JoeBiden and @BarackObama that your administration MUST be above reproach.

And never forget:

“anyone who causes these little ones to stumble, it would be better to have a millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

We cannot allow pedophiles to get away. I don’t personally care who they are or what elite or powerful position they hold. They must be exposed and held accountable!!!

Congrats, now clean up the bloody place. Not sure Sir Sadiq Khan understands he's being not so subtly shamed into trying to retrieve this once livable European capital

Must be some elating effect from the meds ?
Someone please tell the King:

Any carbonic non-achievements are masked by the stratospheric stench of fecal matter, and its gravity amid all the savagery, eyesores, and troubling misery on the ground.

[Sadiq Khan @SadiqKhan]

The London promise: if you work hard, and get a helping hand, you can achieve anything.

Immensely proud to receive a knighthood from His Majesty The King. Growing up on a council estate in Tooting, I never imagined I'd one day receive this great honour while serving as Mayor.

[Thomas Skinner ⚒ @iamtomskinner]

I love this country. I love London with everything I’ve got. It’s the greatest city on Earth or at least, it used to be. And I’ll tell you this now: anyone who says London is safer today than it was ten, fifteen years ago is lying through their teeth.

I’ve worked these streets my whole life. Grafted on market stalls since I was a kid. Rain or shine, cold mornings, long days
I’ve done it all over London and the surrounding counties. It’s in my blood. I don’t know anything else and I don’t want anything else. I love the graft, the energy, the people. I love giving someone a proper deal and seeing them walk off with a smile.

But it ain’t safe out there anymore. The streets have changed. And not for the better.

Honestly only just Fifteen years ago, you had better community. You had characters. People would stop, have a chat, laugh with you. You had respect. Now? It’s a lot colder. It’s more hostile. It’s tense. You get people arguing, stealing, mugging. I’ve had more fights in the past few years than I ever did when I started. And for what? Just trying to earn a living.

And it breaks my heart to say this but London don’t feel like London no more. The police ain’t on the beat. The people are scared. And it’s the older generation I worry about most. Their joy was getting out to the market, having a cup of tea in the café, seeing familiar faces. Now they’re prisoners in their own homes and they are too frightened to walk down their own street. That’s not the London I grew up in. That’s not the London I love.

London has fallen. But I’m not giving up on it.

I still believe in this gaff. I still believe in its people. And I believe it can rise again. But we need change. Real change. We need safety. We need pride. We need leadership that understands the streets, the markets, the working class. People like me.

Because I’m not here to moan. I’m here to fight for what’s right. And I will never stop fighting for this gaff, for London. because it’s my we’re my family are from, it’s the absolute governor of a place, and it deserves better. It needs a bit of love.

Who’s joining me?

Bosh❤️🇬🇧

[Carl K @CarlQueries]

Not to mention those who call it 🛖 Hut (hot) tea, when that’s obviously taken for granted in Blighty
That said, this post is not without its teologically confusing representations.
The first paragraph suggests Brits expect iced tea to be served with milk 😂

Wrong !

Not averse to some propah Southern 🇺🇸 iced tea ..albeit too -too sweet

[Carl K @CarlQueries]

With the Catholic Church having its new Pope elected, comes a far-fetched opportunity in a sea of risk.

Not sure it’s a bright idea altogether.

By simply dodging the debacle he may just attained the opportunity. (Boosting Catholicism in 🇺🇸 & the west )

As to the debacle..
A @Pontifex from the U.S. is fair game for its media, and 🇺🇸 sub-churches / sociopolitical persuasions.

All you have to look at is the 📺 line-up of quasi & pseudo Catholics cum pundits. They couldn’t even wait five minutes to dictate their agenda

Leo the XIV had better master the art of walking on eggshells or risk the Catholic Church walking into a huge trap.

Catholics came from all over the world, their most joyous cheers drowning out all the pealing bells is quite something

There’s hope, not just a Pope

BREAKING: A new Pope has been elected!

Listen to these cheers. It will send a chill down your spine!

Nice guests, although it’d have been good to add a Catholic journo to the table, for some context
Or someone with a bit of a clue about this stuff.

Doesn’t have to be an expert on ecclesiastical affairs, someone with a minimum understanding of the ins and outs of such a monumental event in the Catholic world.
Maybe the guy who made some comments and read the translation during requiem’s live broadcast on Sky ( he was great by comparison to the painful to hear CNN et al folk ) or get @timothy_stanley perhaps.
