Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland.

There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same.

And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment.

Brilliant. What a find!

Fingers crossed! 🤞

Ok everyone, please share as mush as possible! My much loved bike was stolen from a garage in Woolton Hill, near Newbury. Distinctive White @marinbikes Mount Vision (2008) with purple @Hopetech brakes & discs, gold hubs, 26” wheels. It’s “old” but I’m so upset it’s been taken! Thanks for sharing!👍kq

It is my privilege to announce that we, at Frankfurter Rudergesellschaft Germania 1869 e.V., have submitted an entry for #OliverZeidler to defend his #DiamondChallengeSculls (M1x) title at #HenleyRoyalRegatta #HRR 2025.

Terrible news. Sincere condolences to all affected from the rowing family in Germany 😥

State capture is not enough. Now the Trump administration turns on the judiciary, universities and the media. Hard to see how there will be ever an election again in the US.

Happy St. David's Day!

Greetings from Wiesbaden, Germany.

Five Failures in the Oval Office (video) America hurt itself badly today.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

I am almost speechless. Western democracies are being undermined from within.

Liberals are losing the information war on a catastrophic scale.

Please listen & share.

Episode 5 is out now!

The crescendo is building magnificently.

This epsiode ends with a very tantalising recording of the former UK Foreign Secretary (aka Boris Johnson) "answering" a question posed by a Parliamentary select committee on Russian "interference"...
