If the six or so "core" wealthy Commonwealth states pull out or just stop taking it seriously (which already happens under right-wing administrations), the Commonwealth just becomes a talking-shop of have-nots. Maybe that's what the Caribbean wants, but I think it's stupid.

@GoodLawProject is a deeply misogynistic organisation that continuously attacks and targets women and campaigns to take away women’s rights.

Rooney could have gone on TV every single day vocally opposing Israel's actions in Gaza & would have been able to still keep selling her books here.

And for clarity, Blount and Blunt are pronounced the same way. But I simplified it to Blunt as I was tired of people rhyming my name with “count”.
Rosemary Sutcliff's Aquila/Marcus series was one of the delights of my childhood; I borrowed them all from Odiham library. The Arthurian series was pretty good, too. @b_judah

A (very) small selection of the gem-like Ophrys bee orchids I've been privileged to see on my orchid-hunting forays on Sicily with my good friend and Team Mariposa co-leader, Andrea Corso, in recent years. I can't wait to return soon for these and more besides.

They can do that if they want, because Ukraine is a democratic country.
Russians can't, because Putin is a dictator.
Europe is fortunate in our Donald T.
After my today’s talk with @ZelenskyyUa, I’m absolutely convinced that no-one and nothing can break Ukraine and its’ President in their fight against the Russian aggression. I have assured him that he can count on Poland’s and Europe’s full solidarity with the Ukrainian nation.
