This “Spain joins France in banning short haul flights" thing is just the sort of “oooh look something green!" story that's going to go far and wide in the mainstream media looking for an environmental action thing to cover

The former guy refers to the January 6 defendants as “hostages” and “political prisoners.” We must never forget this: They are people who physically assaulted police officers while trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power. They are no heroes. They are convicted felons.

Tories in Civil war, Labour in Civil war, and we are facing a GE next year.

I hate to think what is going to happen, the far right are gaining in many countries, they play on chaos, and will probably be looking to take full advantage.

I don't think it should be controversial to say "killing civilians is wrong".
