The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

@Keir_Starmer@HarrietHarman I think it’s boys & men who need a minister.
Us women have steadily been on the ascendancy. Eg 1917 our lives were largely confined to the home or a job in service without even the right to vote.
Today we have it all - fab fem fact, in 2025 more female Drs than men
Poor boys :(
@RupertLowe10 It’s too late to do anything about it, but I don’t think it was the best marketing and branding strategy to call the party ‘Restore’ when Nige had ‘Reform’ - in this day and age of 1 second chances to influence and engage, you run the risk of mix ups.
I’m no fool but I do often
It’s not just her, she must have had friends and family?
Why didn’t they step in?
IME, groups can become blind to suffering if the power of one has been compromised by the creep of evil & they have influence over the others.
She looks pretty scary to me !
🚨STARVED HER DOG TO DEATH LOCKED UP IN A CAGE
KIANA MYER JONES, 23.
MANCHESTER
MAKE HER FAMOUS
A selfish dog owner has been banned from keeping pets for five years after leaving her French bulldog to starve to death in a cage - with just one custard cream biscuit for food.
Kiana Myers-Jones, 23, of Wythenshawe left her pet pooch, known as Coco or Cali to die from starvation and dehydration while locked up in a small cage.
Manchester Magistrates Court heard that RSPCA Inspector Beth Fazackerley attended Myers-Jones’ address on January 10, 2025 and found the dog dead inside a metal crate in the hallway.
Coco was lying in a pool of brown liquid, with only a single custard cream biscuit inside the crate. There was no dog food or water inside.
Tests later found no underlying disease to explain the weight loss other than prolonged food deprivation; evidence suggested the dog had been eating non-food items due to extreme hunger.
Myers-Jones, of Manchester, admitted causing unnecessary suffering to her dog and failing to meet its basic welfare needs.
In addition to the five-year ban on keeping animals, magistrates sentenced her to a 12-month community order with 10 Rehabilitation Activity Requirement (RAR) days.
She was also fined £126 and ordered to pay £400 costs at a sentencing hearing on 20 February.
The court heard that after finding Coco in the crate, RSPCA Insp Fazackerley took the dog's body to RSPCA Greater Manchester Animal Hospital for veterinary examination.
The examination found the dog weighed just 8kg and had a body condition score of only 2 out of 9; a healthy dog should score 5.
The court heard that the dog had been left confined in the crate without food, water, bedding or adequate care for several days.
Veterinary evidence stated that its suffering would have progressed over several weeks, causing weakness, hunger, muscle wastage and significant distress prior to its death.
Following the sentencing, RSPCA Inspector Beth Fazackerley said: "This was a heartbreaking case.
"Coco/Cali was entirely dependent on his owner for food, water and care, and he suffered greatly when those basic needs were not met.
"Dogs cannot fend for themselves. If an owner is struggling, whether financially or personally, it is vital that they seek help immediately or make arrangements for the animal to be properly cared for.
"Leaving a dog confined without food or water is simply unacceptable."
Anyone struggling to care for their pet is urged to seek help. Animal welfare charities, including the RSPCA, can offer guidance and support to prevent situations from reaching crisis point.

@PoloM77@RupertLowe10 I’m glad you’re in the UK.
It’s people like you the immigration system was meant for.
Your work ethic, no sense of entitlement, you talk straight & you talk true.
As a British woman of 55 yrs, I hope you are happy here & if not, I’ve got your back whilst you march onwards 🦵 🫏
@SpiderUncensor@RupertLowe10 I think you’d like yoga my friend.
Or a long walk.
Feed the ducks.
Clean out the shed.
Defrost the fridge
That kind of thing, coz that hate you’ve got, you know not what you do, but it’s bad for you, honest
@RupertLowe10 Here’s what I think.
You tabled a motion that it’s easy for us ordinary folk to imagine what that would be like, to enforce, to be a neighbour of, & forget the system’s most powerful weapon against us?
The power of judgement.
Your notion had waaaaay too much hate
Mine? Animals.
@elonmusk imo it’s not woke.
It’s hate.
At least in the UK.
Power’s more important than service & duty in the public sector.
Power with no limit, no governance, no consequences, can be hateful.
We protest?
It’s a buzz to punish us as ‘racists’ & get off on ppl suffering. ie rape gangs
@Cocospad@benonwine I tell you what tho, I wouldn’t have survived all the evil fuckwittery he and his two (consecutive) wives did.
But I’ve promised myself only to look forwards from here and ever more 🫡
@benonwine My dad raised me ‘In the same way I trained new recruits’ at Sandhurst, where the finest Army Officers in the world are made.
Starting when I was 2, I did 3 rounds of it, it’s impossible to intimidate me.
The only down side is I do others, all of them, not knowing how or why 🫡👊🏼

@TomK_Brit1993@Keir_Starmer There have been 9,000 reported crimes against churches in the last 3yrs.
Idk about now, but last year there was an arson attacks on a church every 3 days
Nothing was said by no one about safeguarding Christian heritage.
But every kind of news shouts outrage about 4 ambulances
@Keir_Starmer Are you still here?
I’ll tell you this for free, there is something quite remarkable that’s going to be the start of a new kind of power, it’s called BLU.
And it’s going to defeat your kind of evil
