Observations

Tim Robbin's has said a lot. He mentions that he's not worried (about speaking up) at his stage in his career "We start demonising people who don't agree ... We look after people ... It turned into you should f"cking die because you did not comply "

Daily Mail front page on Wednesday It's appalling that Nicola's family nightmare is being turned into a ghoulish carnival of cynics, gossips, know-alls and arm chair sleuths ... by Bel Mooney

Tonight on the radio the police had to disperse a group of men who had decided to search a derelict house. The police had already searched it. I thought the term disperse was interesting. Also if they do search they may be responsible for criminal damage.

Popped up on Euro News as I was flicking ... I saw that fella, from the UN I think? The world is not sleep walking into a war, they are going into it with their eyes open

BBC Question Time Conservative MP; ... " Brings us to the online harms bill ... Young people ... Fiona Bruce: But he wasn't young ... Yes but ... Cultural harms online bring out behaviour in people like Carrick ( or words to that effect ) Audience member; Get rid of the wokery A lady was praying What was she thinking The thought police It's completely potty ________ BBC News " Pandemic ... And just as things were getting back to normal the war in Ukraine .. crisis ... inflation ... cost of fuel " Hunt; Putting money into the economy makes prices rise higher ... very difficult decisions Various commentary; Working conditions in the public sector are worsening Reduce people pensions The unions need to accept that if the workers are going to get more money then the industry needs to change and modernise. Barristers won one of the largest pay rises. They cannot be replaced with another worker

Yes Macnamara, thank you. So much to add but for now ... I know enough people who thought it would be over in 3 weeks, and one especially, who I told in March that we might be locked up till September, fair play to him, he said "you were right". It didn't feel great to hear it, but was perhaps an encouragement to speak up properly. I think it all cut him, well I know it cut him. That ... listen to Boris attitude. Then that feeling that you've been conned. This gent has seen a lot of the cons over many years. I know it cuts your pride to be hoodwinked. But the man's strong. He won't let it drag him down. He can't let it drag him down. He's been through too many battles. He's had much more than 9 lives? Near misses ... Hes still here. Yeah, in the beginning he heard them out. But not anymore. No masks at any point. No vax. No flu jab for many years. The sickening thing about that lockdown, was the baiting of the people. Just a bit longer. We've come so far. Sick. They do not care about the people They do not care about the connections lost We are here Step back from the distraction, protect ourselves from the distraction ( thanks DaleP, I haven't forgotten ) The answer is right in front of us? I know it can't be that hard if we can focus on one or two things I always wished I had stuck to We can't afford this debt That's a language that people understand? It was true and obvious all along, plain right from the start, but I wasted a lot of time on the balls they kept throwing! I feel that I would like to concentrate on freedom of speech, as without that ... and I love free speech, I love words, I love the way that people bring so much out in each other. Sometimes Often Usually !

Thanks DaleP, very well said and very encouraging. Great guidance, much needed.

From another thread I like this very much, thanks as always Mac Speak and keep speaking; one of my most valuable lessons in life. It encourages others who are keeping their head down, saying 'anything for a quiet life"

These media discussions are coming thick and fast now. They are shameless, and determined to stop us being ourselves. Look at the insurance industry? They've been chipping away at us for years. Oh you're not allowed to do that, but it's not our fault. I'm disgusted to hear politicians introduce the word hate as if hate is a bad thing Delete hate? What a ridiculous direction. Give them an inch?! We need to remember who we are.

Great question.

That is interesting. We all noticed the marketing in this case, to help towards controling the internet, and to change our behaviour. Keep an open mind they say on repeat? What so they can fill it with what they want? Everything is one long tiresome ad campaign. There is always something to see and hear on the Vine show. It's mostly infuriating, but you see the agenda plainly there. And on any morning tv? Including fake calls at times? ( How I yearn for something like the Big Breakfast show. How did they manage to fill those couple of hours?! Silly fun to start the day. It made no sence to get rid of it? Except to usher in the new era with the focus on misery and repetition, and the end of light humour. Sneaky f*cks )

Repetitive Key Words; keep an open mind, online abuse is unacceptable, hope

Thanks DaleP, I appreciate the way you've said that, and it's important to have that reminder.

Yeah, we're being manipulated constantly, practically forced to admire war and division, and this little prick is clapped like some weird celebrity / hero. Camera pans to the front bench politicians; their faces glowing n the light of the sun, streaming through the stained glass window, beaming smiles of admiration. Sorry, I guess the sick bag is overflowing now

I've met two separate Muslims who have explained to me the reasons why they won't cut down a tree. It was rather touching. But we will never focus on the good in man while these war mongers are at the top of the tree. Oh I hadn't planned to say tree Stop laughing at your own jokes citizen

As you mention minority report and vaccines and war. Today Zelensky mentioned prevention, and that was also a big part of the pandemic narrative, and that movie of course.

I've seen 3 short men today; Sunak, Zelensky, and now Charles

These people and the ongoing narrative; all completely barmy, encouraging fear, instability, and mass insanity. But it's ok to crown a King? Shouldn't his title be gender neutral too ? Where is the love? I think it's found in nature, and the heart of humans.

Someone should donate him some clothes, sponsored by ...? The green outfit is irritating and insulting in a way They mentioned that he can get safely back into his country Interesting that he's gone to see Charlie boy ?

Sexual complaints McDonalds mentions that buzz word Unacceptable behaviour While promoting Unacceptable behavior Bbc showed a clip of a trans video made by Mcdonalds We've got a long way to go with all this Every minute of every day this must be the subject of conversation War and sickness

A couple of days ago a comedian on GB News said "she was always a bulley", which reminded me of the 'competitive sanity' of the recent past, when a man could make a joke to lighten a situation. It releases a lot of tension. Connects and challenges people. Forges freedom. Which is part of why it has to be outlawed. This man could have been in a lot of trouble, and is there anything we could do to protect his right to make a quip. That remains to be seen

BBC A moment of history The hall ... Traditionally where world leaders address ... Zelensky ... Framed by the stained glass windows Absolute silence Hanging on his every word You could feel the impact Designed to appeal to a western audience ; Addressiing future international dictators who want to overrule the law The global order of international security He praised the UK for its' help He has a specific ask. He gave the gift of a helmet inscribed ; We have freedom, give us wings to protect it (Give us planes) Zelensky had said something cheesy like ... We enjoy your English tea give us your English planes Oh ha ha ha, great comedian, ha ha ha I felt it seemed like a religiious / celebrity / awards ceremony / sermon

Opening of Parliament at 12 noon, before Zelensky's speech ... Starmer; " Every time Putin has been appeased he has been back for more ... We should speak with one voice " " Continuing with this international effort can be the only way " " We believe in it " He mentioned potentially using the wealth that is lying dormant in Russia ...? Sunak; " Putin cannot be seen to have been successful " " We trained soldiers before the conflict " " Training 20,000 soldiers " " International effort " " A dozen other countries have all come here to the Ukraine, (I mean) the Uk " " We must hold those to account for the crimes they have committed " " We have given £1.4 billion in support ... and guarantees to lenders "

A few snippets of Zelensky's speech, so it won't make much sence, although there are some nuggets in there, naturally, in the power of words ----- " Victory will change the world ' ' Who will try to endure his dictatorship at the expense of ' " Any aggressor is going to lose " " We have already achieved remarkable results " " The world needs your leadership Britain, just like it needs Ukraine bravery ... friends ... you were one of the few that helped ... We must in the future prevent ... Your help was preventative ... Those who threaten aggression ... " " Sanctions ... deprived of any possibility to finance the war ... world order and human rights ... no grey areas in the human life doesn't matter ... suffered from terror ... terror aggression, or other state violence ... " The world paves the way .. bravery ... freedom ... A new history .,. Dark ... No fear This shall be a new reality of the free world im sure Evil evil evil How we are going to feel when victory comes Every day we continue to pay with lives Our people our heroes Today I have the honour to be received by his majesty the king Very very very important The King is an airforce pilot and in Ukraine today every airforce pilot is a king, just for us, for our families. We are the servants of our Kings A gift, the helmet of one of our most successful fighters We have freedom, give us wings to protect it It is human nature to let evil mature You and I have defeated evil I'm not saying that it is the last war Evil is in human nature It is impossible to delete evil from human nature The side you and us share "Long live the King, from Ukraine '
