The US public has been sold a view of the USA as peacemaker that is not supported by evidence. Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam and numerous international interventions to bolster US interests in places like Indonesia, Brazil, Nicaragua, Korea… The list goes on and on.

The thing is, you don’t need any more evidence. You have all the evidence you need, some of it out of his own mouth. He is a rapist, and a pedophile. Proving it is not the issue. Doing something about it is the issue. The corruption goes wide and deep. A lot of people are going down with him.

You’ve got sovereignty. No schools, no services, privatised NHS, no social care, and the planet is burning, but you’ve got sovereignty.

The UK has two aircraft carriers, but normally only one of them is on deployment. The other is on maintenance, repairs, and upgrades.

Mainstream publishing is broken. The business model is collapsing under the weight of celebrities and influencers, undermined by Amazon and pirate sites. Agents are caught in the middle and buried in piles of AI slop.

Meanwhile, another war.

Recruitment must be going poorly, they’ve probably realised they don’t have enough former Tories to fill their candidate list.
