elderly wife mother and now orphaned daughter, of land of the prince bishops but now living in sleepy suffolk. Retired midwife, inclined to develop obsessions..
Today we remember the 52 people who were killed, the people who were injured and affected, the heroes who helped and those who lost loved ones because of the terrible events twenty one years ago on the 7th of July 2005 in London.

@ImtiazMadmood It’s always great to see nations have so much confidence in their team, that they don’t have to resort to pathetic measures to try and impede their opposing team’s abilities to win.
Starmer si dimette. Ci sarà chi applaude, e chi - come chi scrive - lo ritiene un colpo alla democrazia. Perché un leader democraticamente eletto, con una maggioranza di oltre 400 deputati, forzato a dimettersi dopo 2 anni, sotto i colpi di un'operazione mediatica, interferenze estere, e l'opera di fronde interne minoritarie non è un buon segno per la democrazia.
E non è un buon segno per l'Occidente e per l'Europa. Non lo è perché segna un precedente. Perché quello che è stato fatto a Starmer potrà essere fatto ad altri leader europei. Nelle stesse modalità: usare i media per prefabbricare impopolarità, creare il panico tra le file interne, e spingere a rimpiazzare un leader basandosi non sulle politiche, i risultati, o una maggioranza stratosferica, ma su sondaggi influenzati da algoritmi.
Non è un buon giorno, lo ripeto, per l'Europa perché la sicurezza europea passa anche da qui e non c'è niente, ma proprio niente da guadagnare dall'instabilità del Regno Unito .
The issue isn't Starmer, per se, it's the fact that we all now know, whoever is PM, unless it's some far right leader with friendly tax policies for the ultra wealthy, they will be met by a barage of misinformation and relentless online attacks: accusations they support p**dophiles & r*pists, that they jail 12,000 innocent people every year for tweeting; and all the usual misleading, manipulative BS designed to exploit people's emotions.
This won't stop until they have installed the party they want. A party that will be focussed purely on optimising the affairs of its wealthy backers, and not on the working people and families of Britain.
Keir Starmer’s place in history is assured. We owe Keir a debt of gratitude for taking Labour from its worst electoral defeat in 2019, bringing Labour back into government with a huge majority in 2024 and then guiding Britain through difficult times nationally and globally.
This all started with Musk & grooming gang bullshit he stirred up.
Then our media ran with anything making mountains out of molehills.
It was a witch-hunt. Never seen anything like it.
They will be celebrating.
The media won. Who will be next?
Our democracy is under threat.
I give it three months before we get the “well in hindsight was Starmer really that bad?” analysis from our world-class journalists who have spent the past two years desperate for more psychodrama
Well done Elon Musk. And all the other cunts.
It now seems the voters do not matter in British politics.
The media hounded Starmer and then the fuckwit Labour MPs joined in.
Shameful.
A democratically elected British Prime Minister has been driven from office by a relentless campaign of propaganda and misinformation; funded, amplified and perpetuated by foreign billionaires and elites whose interests bear zero resemblance to those of ordinary working people.
A noble gesture from an emotional Keir Starmer, entirely consistent with his conduct in office.
A truly sad day for British democracy.
His full resignation speech:
I kinda feel sorry for him. He's quietly and competently getting on with fixing broken Britain. He's just not charismatic. Has tried to avoid angering either political side and ended up aggravating both and the right wing media has easily eviscerated him
I'll tell you what it says about this country. that poisonous little biased journos so pumped up by their own inadequacy and self-importance can con large numbers of very stupid people against the most competent PM in decades.
Bugger Burnham & you.
When the hype dies down, the problems in Number 10 remain the same for whoever holds the office. Keir Starmer is already governing through them. Stabilised the economy, invested in our public services, and he walks towards the problems, not away.
