Yeah, thing is if the worse did happen, the royal mint and post office have only just released new coins and stamps, they will need to start over,
Good point, I suppose it is helpful as they can bring the usual suspects out of the broom cupboard to comment
Could be far worse for Putin, the other sort of puppet would require him to shove his hands up Trumps backside.

Born in 1885, Clara Belle Williams became the 1st Black graduate of New Mexico College of Agriculture & Mechanic Arts (now NMSU).
While a student, many professors did not allow her into lecture halls so she took notes from the hallway. When she graduated in 1937, commencement ceremonies were canceled bc a group of students refused to walk with her.
Williams persevered despite discrimination, earning recognition as a teacher & lifelong learner. https://libexhibits.nmsu.edu/onlinexhibits/cbwilliams/index.html #HistoryRemix #history
Now that is an idea, a 3d printed car design you can download and print :)
As canada is part of NATO, where do they stand should Russia start causing problems in Europe, do they come to the aid of Europe and risk upsetting Trump, esp given that canada is also part of the commonwealth.
Seems they could end up in a really difficult siutation.
Can the UK do the same, or is munitions on the list this pathetic country can't make en masse anymore.?
I get the impression we have tanks that are not fit for purpose, a broken air craft carrier propeller and umpteen other problems.
This could make a good TV series, there.

A game of secrets and lies. ‘Bloody Orkney’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland, mainly in Orkney, during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.
The huge naval base at Lyness on the island of Hoy plays an important part in the book. This photograph shows some of what remains today. In the background is what in 1942 was one of the most important naval anchorages in the world, Scapa Flow.

No disrespect to King Charles III, but the BBC are once again appear to be giving wall to wall coverage, king has cancer, will step back from duties, the royal family will step up to do their job. There are other things going on in the worlad that are far more significant, such as the War in Ukraine, War in Gaza and the increasing crisis in Yemen and other parts of the middle east.
Thankfully there are some parts of the media and here of course, where in the true british spirit, we just carry on regardless of what the main stream is talking about.
This won't be the last time this happens, unti aduts grow some balls and start to actually TELL children and young people they are NOT in charge this will just carry on. Teachers suffer both verbal and phsical abuse with what seems to be impunity.
Adults seem to be scared of children, there was a time when an adult could raise their voice, and that alone would stop their nonsense.
Perhaps we need less gentle lessons for parents on e-safety, show them what us out there ( no censorng it) and give them the tools and know how to really protect their kids on the internet. Back them up as many find technology harder to use as it isll esp with constant changes and developments.
Start to clamp down on mainstream social media, but in a way that empowers users to control things, rather than expecting companies whio are less for safety and just care for profits. Fines could be collected and the money can be invested in alternatives so we can build a more user centric internet, and send big tech to /dev/null before it is too late.

Not a genocide, not a war crime, just the standard normal procedure of the Israeli occupation forces.
There is nothing they can do to get the western world to stand up and say enough is enough.
Absolutely nothing.

Gun owners in Maryland would be required to buy at least $300,000 in liability insurance or forfeit their ability to carry a firearm under a new bill.
This is how you do it.

I agree, they still have boots on the ground to deliver aid, the fact that members could have been involved in Oct 7 is shocking, but there are still palestinian people (fellow humans) who need help, aid, food, water and medical suppies. What has happened does need investigating, but we can ingore this need to save lives.
Western double standards at play here, given the comments that are pointing more and more to the expansion of Israel and displacement of Palestinians, the west is proving that at least politically they support is reals actions regardless of what they do (and international law).l

Oh I know. I was just focused on that one topic since that's where we began. :-)
We're seeing a rise of the right. Why? Because neoliberalism has failed spectacularly. Inequality is rising, people are doing worse and worse. So they're voting for the party that didn't oversee this mess - and that's the right. However they are failing to see that the right wing will be MUCH worse, rather than better.
Sweeping generalisation, ultra condensed to fit in a single post. ;-)
Before they do, Can we grade the current government as inadequate, and prompt the single word grade and put in every synonym for that to describe the current government too.
Is there something similar to et-al to mean all words that mean the same as inadequate to save listing them all.
I agree on power, but this is NOT just happening in gaza, we are seeing wars and opression world wide, look at some of the US states, book bans, LGBT bans, transgender treatment bans, and worse to come should the GOP win.
Anger leads to hatred, hatred leads to the Dark Side.
Maybe there is something hiddel in star wars we can or should be learning from
We learn about the holocaust so we don't make the same errors again, then do, children grow up with this as the mixed message and just follow the example set by leaders and adults.
They need to ask why this keeps happening and demand an answer that is actually a proper answer.
