Madagascar soldiers join protestors, refuse orders to shoot demonstrators

Groups of Madagascar soldiers joined youth-led protests in the capital of Antananarivo on Saturday after police used stun grenades and tear gas. The soldiers, who said that they would refuse any orders to shoot demonstrators, arrived at the heart of the gathering near the Lake Anosy area where they were welcomed with cheers.

#Malta update:

The Beggers Inn is full of #Waterford people.
And Italians.

Cos, like, this is the way.

Update: myself and 2 Waterford lads sang #StandUpAndFight in the pub. Full tilt. Maximum effort.

Confused locals.

Because.

#Malta #Munster

This is so 100% on target.

It's not bad enough fearing what is coming next month, but to see the Dem reaction to it, and the wimpy, get-along vibe they're projecting is enough to make me sick.

Too Many Democrats Don't Understand Voters At All

An opposition party in the grip of fatal delusions.

Well, that speech didn't go as planned, aye, Penny? I suspect you were hoping for lots of whoops at the end of each bullet point rather than a few claps at the end.

Both Smelly Braverman and Penny Mordor are likely candidates for next Tory leader, and both gave unhinged speeches at #CPC2023

So we’ve seen some pretty unhinged stuff coming out of Tory conference over the last few days, but this is next level. A heady mix of David Brent & Alan Partridge… 😳😂

"Fascists are emboldened in direct proportion to the silence of the rest of us. Since 2016, I’ve confronted people in public several times. I stand in front of them saying, “Your hatred is not welcome here” — over and over until they leave. It’s scary — but it’s what I can do."
