Cars were beeping their support as they drove past the protest. Of course that is not going to stop - but maybe if all of the West kicked out the Ambassadors of this awful dictator on mass - maybe Putin would hear that loud and clear...

This is where we are now:
The former president of the US applauds the dictator of what is quickly becoming a pariah state, and said admiration is, unsurprisingly, utilized as propaganda by leader of said pariah state. Not one republican / conservative calls him out because they are too busy blaming the current president of the US for the treacherous actions of a pariah state , all the while knowing that Biden is of course, in no way culpable, but they are craven wankers who will use anything at hand for political gain – to the extent of destabilising allies and encouraging eastern aggression.
Zelensky has the courage of a billion of these right wing toadies that are praising a literal dictator for invading a democracy. I do not think that Putin priced in the fact that he would become a global symbol of determination and resilience in the face of deadly illegal aggression and invasion. Heh.
The treacherous right and perfidious Trump lean heavily into Putin, because of course... meanwhile..

Russian Ambassador to Ireland defends invasion amid calls to expel him - and gets slapped round the chops in this masterclass of journalism. We all need more of this.
Biff. Bff. Uppercut.

Queen tests positive for Covid
Source: The BBC
The Queen has tested positive for Covid, Buckingham Palace has said.
The palace said the monarch is experiencing mild "cold-like symptoms" but expects to continue "light duties" at Windsor over the coming week.
"She will continue to receive medical attention and will follow all the appropriate guidelines," the palace said in a statement.
The Queen had been in contact with her eldest son and heir, the Prince of Wales, who tested positive last week.

Johnson has nothing but contempt for the people he governs. After all he knows what a shockingly corrupt lying liar he is and he knows that nation voted for him anyway, gave him a huge majority anyway. Of course he has contempt for all of us - he thinks us utter fools for giving him No. 10. And for once he is right. He is not going to quit - he has never knowingly ever taken responsibility for any of his lies, carelessness and abject incompetency - no chance he will start now, and so we must wait until the sycophantic far right crack pots he surrounds himself with read the writing on the electoral wall and give the lying wind bag the boot.

Florida House passes 15-week abortion ban 'to allow Florida to save as many babies as possible'
Members of the Florida House of Representatives approved a ban on abortion after 15 weeks on Thursday, making Florida the third state to advance a 15-week abortion plan. The decision comes ahead of the Supreme Court decision regarding the Mississippi law that has the ability to limit abortion rights across the country by overturning Roe v. Wade, the Associated Press reported.
Florida’s 15-week ban is modeled on that Mississippi law. The state’s GOP-controlled House passed the ban after several hours of debate in which Democrats argued the measure would create an undue burden on women.
