A game of secrets and lies. ‘Bloody Orkney’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland, mainly in Orkney, during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

The huge naval base at Lyness on the island of Hoy plays an important part in the book. This photograph shows some of what remains today. In the background is what in 1942 was one of the most important naval anchorages in the world, Scapa Flow.

No disrespect to King Charles III, but the BBC are once again appear to be giving wall to wall coverage, king has cancer, will step back from duties, the royal family will step up to do their job. There are other things going on in the worlad that are far more significant, such as the War in Ukraine, War in Gaza and the increasing crisis in Yemen and other parts of the middle east.

Thankfully there are some parts of the media and here of course, where in the true british spirit, we just carry on regardless of what the main stream is talking about.

Not a genocide, not a war crime, just the standard normal procedure of the Israeli occupation forces.


There is nothing they can do to get the western world to stand up and say enough is enough.

Absolutely nothing.

Oh I know. I was just focused on that one topic since that's where we began. :-)

We're seeing a rise of the right. Why? Because neoliberalism has failed spectacularly. Inequality is rising, people are doing worse and worse. So they're voting for the party that didn't oversee this mess - and that's the right. However they are failing to see that the right wing will be MUCH worse, rather than better.
Sweeping generalisation, ultra condensed to fit in a single post. ;-)

Totally agree, I'm from the old school of KISS, 'keep it simple stupid'. And the old adage of 'just because you can, doesn't mean you should'

Aljazeera: "UK foreign minister urges Iran to ‘de-escalate in the region’"

South Dakota’s government just voted down a bill to feed children because we “can’t afford it” but we can afford to send troops to Texas to harm children at the border. Recently our government turned down federal money to feed children in poverty. Because we are a pro-life state. 🤬

I need to go lie down for a while

So, looks like America, the world's unofficial police force, is moving the whole Middle East on to a war footing.

Humanity is looking more like a huge melting-pot of people being sacrificed by other people.

These people talkin' 'bout how very very ancient slavery was in the US.

I am 63, and am, patently, and against my better judgement, still alive.

I knew a man whose parents were African-American slaves in the United States.

So, from his parent, to him, to me, to you, that's not ancient history, my sister. That's three degrees of difference. That's your great-grandma, that's your congressperson or your senator, that's damned close to being that movie star you're so attached to.

International Crime Court orders Israel to stop their genocide.

The most depressing part was watching way too many people and ex-friends defend the genocide and split hairs over human suffering.

Now the ICJ has given it's provisional ruling on Israael, will the ICC hurry up with its action against many Israeli's committing and inciting war crimes?
