Donald Trump: 'I don't like' that Alex Pretti 'had a gun' Alex Pretti "should not have been carrying a gun" when he was shot dead in Minneapolis, according to Donald Trump. Local officials have said he was carrying one legally.

I was quoting POTUS. He said it was very very bad.

Thing is, this only came out because Epstein had managed to cross a very accommodating line. It's still going on right now in the cosy self-protecting club that is the establishment.

One law for us, none for them.

Thing is, Mandelson got involved with the wrong friend, so he's now fair game. I'm sure there are plenty in the Lords who are just as dodgy, but they're all protected by their cosy club.

I wouldn't mind betting those who are most vociferous about Mandelson are among the most dodgy.

Interesting that he couldn't remember these particular contributions to his bank account. Perhaps he received lots of others. These guys are very forgetful.

Iran designates EU armies โ€˜terrorist groupsโ€™ in retaliatory move Move comes after a European Union decision to label the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a 'terrorist organisation'.

If you look at it objectively they have a point.

Our important work at Kent Council to spend ยฃ600k on a car park to provide free parking for Reform councillors while staff have to pay, is all part of our 'We don't give a shit about anyone but ourselves' policy.

Only 32-44% own guns. Don't you realise how ridiculous that sounds? A gun has just one purpose.

He was shot for a very good reason. It wasn't a mistake. It's part of Trump's grand plan. That's why each time it happens the "facts" are known instantly, and bear no relationship to reality.
