Some anal person reported this as offensive because of the TV character's name, Crazy Cooter. I guess they don't know that cooter is a term in many states, esp the south, for freshwater turtles. Some people need to get over themselves and their destructive need to find fault or offence in every feck'n thing and police it. #Moderation

Ukraine's General Staff confirmed a strike on the TANECO refinery in Nizhnekamsk, with a fire recorded at the site. It also confirmed damage to the AVT-6 primary oil processing column at the Ilsky refinery from the August 8 strike. At Hvardiiske airfield in occupied Crimea, the August 3 attack destroyed 9 aviation fuel tanks and damaged 2 aircraft hangars. Russian repair, logistics and artillery storage sites in occupied Luhansk and Donetsk were also hit. #Ukraine

RT: @Chrisviews43 @ZackPolanski is absolutely right on this.

We pay for the @BBCNews to inform us, yet if Farage says something about migrants, the BBC and Sky News can spend days treating Reform’s fantasy politics like it is the biggest issue facing the country.

Meanwhile, climate change, one of the biggest threats to our national security and our future, barely gets anything like the same attention.

And here is the irony. The media constantly tells us to fear migration, but if we continue ignoring climate change, we could see migration on a scale never seen before. This time it might be us looking for somewhere safer to live.

I am sick of being fed a divisive narrative simply because Farage says something and the MSM decides it must therefore be important.

Zack is right to call this out. Journalism should be challenging nonsense and informing us about the real threats ahead, not helping one politician decide what the country should be angry about this week.

Die Taliban-Terroristen, mit denen Dobrindt zwecks Abschiebung von Afghan*innen aus Deutschland verhandelt, wollen Afghanistan dem Tourismus öffnen.
Der bettelarmen Bevölkerung kämen die Einnahmen sicherlich nicht zugute, sondern ihren Peinigern und Unterdrückern.
Ich persönlich wollte dort nicht hinreisen.
Ich müsste dann wie ein Pferd Scheuklappen tragen, um das Elend nicht zu sehen.
Leider gibt es genug Menschen, denen das alles egal ist.
