Robert De Niro’s full statement on Trump. Please read and let me know your thoughts:
I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly.
I see an evil one.
Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped.
Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.
We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016.
The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.
The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.
Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.
So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:
This is our last chance.
Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.
And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.
So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.
Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.”
As the reality of losing Scotland’s resources sinks in…the Westminster propaganda machine kicks into overdrive…so…block out the noise and remember…eyes on the prize. #ScottishIndependence
@PhantomPower14 So, no then? We’ll collaborate and discuss and as long as Scotland agrees then good. If not we’ll just go with what we decide anyway. In what way is that respecting the devolved Parliament?
@SkyHelpTeam I deleted the app and when I try to log back in I get an e-mail saying that there has been a new login but the account does complete in the app so it is not there.
@SkyUK why does your e-mail service not work? It’s been up and down for weeks now. It works if I login to web Mail but Apple mail app doesn’t sporadically.
@OVOEnergy I’ve been e-mailing for months about smart meter issues and I keep getting vague replies but nothing has been fixed. What happened to the customer service you used to provide?
Ever wondered what the financial benefit could be for our economy if we, as a country, put our money solely into renewable energy ventures rather than fossil fuels? Listen to what Dale has to say 💡

Martin Lewis hits the nail on the head.
"We need to delink the electricity price from the gas price... our market is broken"
I live 6 miles from the UK's biggest onshore wind farm & Scottish Power tell me my electricity is 100% green, but I'm still paying sky high prices.

@MartinSLewis@CornwallInsight What gets me is so many suppliers advertise 100% renewable electricity! If it’s 100% renewable how can the price of gas effect electricity ??? As far as I know the cost of Sun & Wind is still free 🤔
@on_lothianbuses car and the driver peeped the horn. I jumped out to ask him what his problem was and he was very smug. I admit to being upset and shouting but your driver had no need peep or come so close to the back of my car. As a professional driver I’d have expected more
