The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Reminds me of the return of he-who-must-not-be-named.

Danny Dyer got Cameron spot on during a morning TV program. Rhymes with Jeremy Hunt, who also bears the same name.

More members of Liz Truss's cabinet are in Reform than in Badenoch's shadow cabinet...

Yes, & I think it's not just that they're ex-Conservatives, there's something quite specific about the Johnson tenure here about most of them.

The Telegraph’s political editor is saying, more subtly, what others are saying brutally.

BREAKING:

Minnesota's chief federal judge has demanded the acting head of ICE personally appear in court Friday to explain what the judge described as repeated failures to comply with dozens of court orders amid its enforcement efforts in the state.

I forsee ICE melting. Those back in WW1&2 didn't stand a chance as to succumbing unknowingly to Nazism. It's been a long time since then. Conscience has evolved.

ICE will develop a moral conscience in time. Mass majority will not be Nazi-supporters.

ICE will develop a moral conscience.

I don't think 'funny' is the correct word.

'Led By Donkeys' did similar in the UK when Trump visited King Charles. Absolutely brilliant!

Reform is the Tory's dirty laundrette. With no machines.

Minnesota should be proud.🙏

Man shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis The shooting comes after days of protests in Minneapolis over the Trump administration's immigration enforcement operation there.

Awful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj...

I've found 5 new words today James. Untermensch, Völkisch, Superfascism, Heideggerianism and Anti-universalism. They define the combination of the words anti-humanist and Nazi.

He pretends to be outraged when war memorials are disrespected during marches that pass by them but the actual denigration of British war dead?
“Not quite fair.”
What an irredeemable shitbag.

Trump pulled the US out of the World Health Organisation yesterday.

In response California has become the first state to join the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network.

If this is the start of a pattern Americans will only be safe in Blue states.

It’s nuts.

Murdoch's entrée.

Possible book in the making - 'How they failed to break Canada.'

He witnessed first hand the political gymnastics required to get the act of economic self-harm over the line. Saw the r/w media provide cover for the traitors, whose self-interest dominated their every move. I seem to recall flag-shagging coming to the fore during this period. Patriots, my arse!

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.”

So, same as Canadians.
