Those red lines are for the Brexiteers ears. Have you been keeping up with Starmer's push for closer ties with the EU? We are still building confidence with the EU. They are the ones with the power to invite us in.

Bollocks

Gillian would be awesome. She is funny, self deprecating and would happily be sent up by the Muppets.

Star Trek has always been a mirror to current events.

I would observe that the human race has evolved technologically but but humans haven’t changed much in the last 1,000 years. As we saw with the rigid Klingon values, it nearly caused their extinction

I think you missing how societies regressed after the burn and cultures were cut off. The whole Betazed episode addressed. Just look at the US right now, 250 year birthday and Trump is trying to taking it back to the dark ages. Call that ‘progress’?

Ep 4 was a masterclass in how Starfleet/America's imperial colonialism tries to impose solutions on others without understanding the people and their cultures. Other cultures can solve their own problems with the right help. Every US intervention over the last 60 years has failed.

Amadeus review – this Mozart series is a pale, petty version of the movie it’s based on Will Sharpe and Paul Bettany’s new TV drama is flat, airless and banal. It’s a crass affair with a thin, half-hearted performance from Sharpe

I haven’t watched it. Just checked out this review. Maybe not worth your time.

Have you watched the new tv adaptation of it? On Sky in the UK?

I have already speculated that he must have an expensive legal team otherwise how haven’t we heard anything about his Epstein and Russian connections? I am hoping a journalist or someone is waiting to bring down by dropping damning info just before the local elections and he quits in shame or jailed

What I have also loved about the episode and comments is the story captivated everybody so much that there has been no love expressed for Jayden rocking a skirt. Awesome.

Oh, glad she cleared that up for us.

Has it ever been mentioned that the Klingons are a metaphor for Native Americans?

Mandelson’s appointment was nearly universally applauded. Bizarrely. From all sides of the political spectrum spectrum. I bet the the Trump administration put pressure on the government to appoint Mandelson.

I can’t think of a single reason to means-testing in any form. Such a waste of time, people and money. Retrain all those benefits administrators into mental health counsellors once UBI introduced.

Trump has just endorsed Starmer’s Chagos deal. Even said it was the best outcome you could get.
Starmer was right to call out Trump and Farage for the performative nonsense criticising the deal just to attack Starmer. Farage can fuck off.

Yes, it should.

Just goes to show how entrenched Trump and Farage are together. It was always just a performative attack by Trump to Farage a chance to attack Starmer with more lies.

There are lot of good things. But the winter fuel thing has lingered like the worst fart ever.

Donald Trump signals US support for Chagos handover deal It comes after the US president suggested last month he could withdraw his support for the deal.

So Farage’s intervention in the Chagos Deal was all about making life difficult for Starmer and nothing to do with the actual deal.

Farage can effectively do one.

So Farage was wrong about the deal.

Like he is wrong about most things.

Ep 4 was a masterclass in how Starfleet/America's imperial colonialism tries to impose solutions on others without understanding the people and their cultures. Other cultures can solve their own problems with the right help. Every US intervention over the last 60 years has failed. Ep 5 here I come.

‘Strong’ has never been so inappropriate to describe this tinpot despot.

Of course he did. Trump is into sloppy seconds.

Can’t wait for Musk to be ejected from all ‘his’ companies. He needs to be made destitute.

Hope not. Fingers crossed there are news stories primed to cause maximum damage to Reform just before May elections. Farage fucks off in disgrace and my prediction that he would have left parliament within 2 years of becoming an MP will come true. 😁

The backbone of this series is not a teen romance at uni but meditation on leadership and power by the state and how might is right is corrupting force on morals and values. The students are discovering that acceptance of differences between species and cultures leads to understanding and community

That moment in The Wizard of Oz when it changes from black and white to colour. Although it was just clever set dressing and use of a Dorothy stand-in.

To protect Trump and all those on the Epstein List.

Farage must have a shit-hot legal team working to keep his connections to Epstein and the Russians out of the news.
