The US spends by far the most per capita on health yet has amongst the worst health outcomes in any G20 country. Someone is making a lot of money.

I'm not sure why but these two remind me of each other.

The thing that is astounding about the international fascist movement (because that is what it is) is that what do they think is going to happen if they are successful? By their own philosophy they will all end up in direct competition and conflict. It's crazy.

Where is the proof that white working class boys are discriminated against? This is utter rubbish. It's just off the shelf far right victimhood nonsense. Everything about these people makes me want to ๐Ÿคฎ

She's a genius.
The Hounds of Love album. The A side is a fantastic bunch of 80's pop songs and the B side, The Ninth Wave, is pure prog rock, and she pulls them both off on one record.

Good old Hannibal, without him we wouldn't have the craziest war film ever made with Oliver Read, an elephant and a permanently stoned Michael Pollard. FAB.

After WW2 the US invested in the Marshall plan to rebuild Europe, not because of charity, but because they needed to rebuild their export market. Now they've destroyed that relationship and along with it that market. World trade will change and that can only benefit China. Idiots.

We are in the situation where I know, you, know, the government knows, everyone and his dog knows that we should be closer to Europe economically, militarily, and diplomatically and yet they refuse to do it because of the dwindling number pf phantom ex-Labour Brexit supporters. Madness.

The new head of the Royal Navy has undertaken a review of career structures and promotion boards specifically to address this issue. Large organisations need creative yet grounded leaders not revolutionaries, yes men (they usually are men) or chancers.

We have to change the way we choose leaders because the present system is sifting the worst possible people to the top. It's not just politics. Far too many positions of power are dominated by people who can 'get ahead' rather than those who can do the job. 1/2

Sir(?) Jim Ratcliffe is a tax exile so he should know all about draining resources from the state.

Wonderfully mundane yet odd, dark yet funny. No idea where this is going but I'm already invested in the characters and I'm hoping for some kind of joyously silly resolution.

That's a lovely picture of Yuki & he can track too. I reckon Jan would be good if you hid a roast chicken...

In the UK the Epstein files are likely going to end up with a PM resigning, a Lord in prison and a Prince removed. You guys in the US need to catch up. What's in the half of the files that haven't been published yet? Why are the men's names redacted not the victims?

07.02.2026 16:20 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 14    ๐Ÿ” 2    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes, but it was wonderful. You know Donald Trump is going to HAVE TO open the Olympics and the FIFA WC. Everyone needs to do the right thing, that's all I'm saying.

Do we know if the UN or any other world body monitor elections? If so, and they declare it crooked, what does the rest of the free world do? Uncharted territory.

I hate to bring this up but do we seriously think Epstein was only (only is the wrong word but you know what I mean) pimping girls?

We are sleep walking towards a Reform Gov. We need to understand what that means: end of NHS, poor abandoned, UK ICE, end of the Union, probable war in Ireland, etc. We need to get our ๐Ÿ’ฉ together before it is too late.

Hilarious. I mean, I'm no fan of Starmer, but Epstein and the right, especially Reform and it's associates are joined at the hip. Oh and then he gave some advice on 'vetting' as if Reform don't have a disaster with their vetting with more or less every single fruit loop candidate they put forward.

Starmer appointed Mandelson because of Trump. The lesson here is that all attempts to engage with or appease Trump turn to ๐Ÿ’ฉ.

The real story here, beyond the fate of the victims, is that Labour have managed to throw away a massive majority and delivered the UK into the hands of the far right. It is the political failure of the decade , maybe the century.

We are deep, deep in James Bond plot territory. Epstein the pedo, the KGB and a honey pot kompromat Caribbean island. All we a missing is a false volcano with a rocket underneath.

'He's done what? He's given UK secrets in return for cash to the pedo Epstein while only wearing his underpants. Right, that does it!'

Apart from misconduct in public office and insider trading it is also possibly treason. Absolutely has to be a criminal investigation now.
