2025 Remembered....F - J

As we are at the fag end of 2025, it's that time when we look back at what has happened and remember the good, the bad and the Ugly of the last 12 months.   

F - Flags - The right wing poindexters found a new way to intimidate anyone not White English by cable tying flags to every available lamppost in England. Obviously not being that bright meant that many of the flags representing 'England' were the British Union Flag so maybe they were showing pride for the other home countries also. Who knows, not them obviously.
 
G - Gaza - As the genocide in Gaza continued, Israel said they always take all precautions to prevent civilian deaths but as the figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate 83% of Palestinians of the 65,000+ killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians, they are either not very good at it or are big fat liars because bombing hospitals, private homes and ordering civilians to refugee camps and them bombing them doesn't sound much like taking precautions at all.

H - Heard Island - In his boneheaded attempt to make Americans Poor Again, Donald Trump went around slapping tariffs down on everyone including the Australian Territory Heard Island in the Antarctic which has no humans, but plenty of penguins who now faced a 10% tariff on whatever it was they didn't export. The Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, called it  'a bit strange' but the Penguins did start up a website with the byline 'We love fish and hate fascists'.

I - Iran - Israel have said that Iran have been weeks away from having a nuclear missile for decades and have long wanted to attack the nuclear facilities but now they have a dumb-ass in the White House they went ahead and did it and America joined in and sent B2 bombers to do what Trump said 'obliterated' the nuclear capability and set back Iran's nuclear program 'decades' although the American intelligence people later said just resulted in a bit of a sweep up because they had moved all the nuclear material out beforehand.

J - Jeffrey Epstein - The Files were going to be released and were waiting on a desk to be signed off but then once someone whispered in Trump's weirdly orange ear that his name runs through them they were dismissed as both not existing and a hoax and then he went out of his way to try and persuade his follow Republicans to not vote to release the things which he said didn't exist anyway which they ignored and got them released anyway but heavily redacted but in such a poor way that they can be read still anyway and there we see the man who has been found guilty of sex offences and admitted he grabbed women's genitals and has been accused by up to 30 women of other sexual offences, firmly embedded in them.
