The futility of feeble UK police attitude to marijuana perfectly illustrated. https://t.co/jwoIKzcRHb *Possession* of marijuana is a serious crime (max penalty 5 years in prison and an unlimited fine) Yet police behave as if it isn't. This is why marijuana use grows and grows.

@BernieSanders National Socialism, actually. A genocidal mix.

My latest on the need to better identify and understand the various tactics used by the regime to target civilians with bureaucratic or legal means, which is crucial to graspe the dangers people in #Syria, namely in regime areas, now face. https://t.co/71RJudWZsd

Norris has a questionable history on his finances and yet as a darling of our political/media/academia bubble, he's never held to account.
He should be "doorstepped" until we get answers on what happened to our money.

#OnThisDay in 1975 the IRA murdered Siobhan McCabe, 4. Shot short distance from lower Falls home during shooting at soldiers. Mother: “She would have been 5 yrs old on Sunday next & was looking forward to her party” #OTD

The investigation around #Epstien now needs to be ramped up. A narcissistic bastard in life as well as death, he can’t be allowed to deny justice to his victims nor punishment for those degenerates that sexually exploited children.

A beautiful thing to see, and despite the terrible brutality of the past week. And a reminder that Putin, like every dictator, has no idea when or how his rule will end. Only that it will be sudden. https://t.co/8JslGDBQj4

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

After two weekends of extreme violence by Putin’s jackbooted stormtroopers, 47,000 brave Moscowvites have come out today to protest his undemocratic kleptocracy. This destroys the myth that Putin is still popular

@MarianRTE The lunatics have taken of the #RTE asylum. Their talk of a united Irish is so far removed from reality that it's best this lot is kept confined to the studio for a few weeks until they sober up.
