Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Poetic justice that a newspaper, The Times, for which dishonesty comes as naturally as breathing is being hauled over the coals for an apology.

It is hard these days to discern between RW propaganda & truth

The same way official side 'breaks' the law deliberately hiding evidence proving innocence & then play the propaganda card of trial by media

And still the legal abuses continue but the public has no idea

More damage from Brexit.
The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) has announced it will close its headquarters in the UK because of Brexit.

Any time one of those fake foreign British nostalgia accounts starts banging on about the 50s, send them this wonderful interview with Don McCullin, and his description (familiar to me from the 70s) of how brutal London was in the 50s

Also worth remembering that the East India Company had to be bailed out on multiple occasions in the 18th and 19th centuries by the UK government when rapaciousness and incompetence left it bankrupt.

Eventually the UK govt grew tired of this and took direct control of their Indian posessions.

ruzzia hanged their dirty rag on the sign for Pokrovsk.

Within minutes it was destroyed.

This will no doubt have been reported to the ruzzian high command as the successful seizure of the city... 🙄🤡
