This balance shifted the day Trump stepped into the Oval Office.
Let’s all stop pretending otherwise.
Splendid work.
Luckily he hasn’t pissed everyone off with his tariff nonsense and constant degradation of others….
Twas ever thus.
The names were just different.
Never would I have expected the Chair of Goldmans to say this.
My sibling worked for Goldman Sachs. Said it was an absolute vipers nest. The people there would stab you in the back for a $.
To hear messaging like this coming from those that set the tone at these institutions is quite something.
Indeed it does and my life is all the better for it.
The Dark Side more like it.
Truth.
McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…
Fujitsu should be make to pay £150k for every year each person was inconvenienced and their compensation delayed.
Anyone and everyone involved in the administration of the investigation should be purged from their roles and sacked without compensation if they held a decision-making level role.
Most definitely a true story🤔...
Relatable.
Before Russia invaded Ukraine; before the right tried to re-write North Sea oil & gas history; I created a municipal renewable energy company & wrote about how public ownership of energy can deliver a safer, cleaner future for Britain.
It has aged well…👇

Any and all political message funding should be mandated by law to have a name attached to it so there is someone to hold accountable/sue/prosecute.
Of course it can. It’s just that its ruling class would rather keep the money on a spreadsheet for itself.
would be courted by politicians the same way way that older people are because they *do* vote.
I’m not sure what needs to happen to flip that cultural switch. Mandatory civics and politics lessons at school perhaps?
I have high hopes for Zak Polanski making politics relevant to the younger cohort.
Yes we do. There is also the unfortunate aspect of youngsters growing feeling like politics in general is dull and a game played by public school attendees and the wealthy with little relevance for them and their lives.
The great shame of it all is that if young people engaged (read: voted) they
The cost of entry to politics is too great. Both personally and financially.
Youngsters see what the media does to people and decide they don’t want to (at the extreme end) be driven to suicide like so many others that end up in the harsh media glare.
That’s a lot of words to say they don’t have control of the strait.
Desperate attempts to garner pre-election sympathy as this is clearly bullshit.
Even if it were true it goes to show what being a Putin-loyal piece of shit entails.
Hungary’s Orbán claims Ukrainians ‘threatened’ his family as election campaign ramps up www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
Close enough for me 😉
Must say I’m very pleased to see Cairns are out there making others happy.
May Gabriel live long and prosper.
Gabriel is a fine looking beast.
My parents had a Cairn as company for my mum during her many years battling cancer. What an absolute behemoth of a tiny dog he was. Kooky verging on insane. Courageous. Extremely social and well adjusted. Wonderfully playful and a source of never ending joy.
Me too.
Right now it’s called Spain.
“Too dependant on government money” is not true for poor people. Their lives are much realer than yours pal. They certainly work a damn site harder than you.
Could point you in the direction of a few non-poor people that are much more reliant on government money than poor folk.
Exhibit A:
One can hope.
Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented.
They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed.
That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.
Solar does not care about the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil flows through chokepoints. Solar follows a learning curve.
Great piece @azeem.bsky.social

They should be. Too many of them believe that bombing and death and destruction is what happens to other people in other places during a war, not to them.
Maybe they would have less bloodlust-y leaders if they had to face an electorate that were actually exposed to the horror of their decisions.
