Charles 'worked' just 8 hours a week in 2023. Does that sound like good value for money? #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

In Haaretz Hebrew, 22 May, former Israeli PM Olmert says he used to think that the mass killing of civilians in Gaza was a result of a "tragic war" & he denied the charges of genocide & war crimes, but now he thinks: it is an intentional annihilation. archive.ph/3vvOi

"There are no Amish with autism" There are "Vaccines aren't tested against placebo" They are "MMR has never been studied as a possible cause of autism" It has. It's not the cause. I apparently need to say this stuff over and over and over and over again. And again.

If that woman can be on her 4th or 5th vacation of the year while she only worked 3 days, she can "work" way more. I mean she "SHOULD" work more. Her whole luxury life is made possible by taxpayers, it's a disgrace how she only cares about the money and not her duty.

Charles became king late, at a time when the monarchy is deeply unpopular. He’ll forever be tied to Diana’s tragedy, his romance with Camilla is still nauseating, and his failure as a father to Harry is plain to see. He represents the monarchy’s slow, shameful end.

Just had a Reform UK leaflet delivered to my ward of Whitley, Reading. It’s advertising a by-election in WITNEY, Oxfordshire. They’ve only gone and Royal Mail dropped to the wrong location 😆😆😆

5. That has turned out to be one of the worst bets in history. The values of their companies went down by c.$1tr yesterday in one day. Apple alone lost more than $300bn. 6. Finally, Trump has done the impossible: to join Liz Truss in the Economic Mismanagement Hall of Shame More here open.substack.com/pub/peterf…
