Europe and Ukraine defied Trump by telling him where to stick his Russian surrender document.

Manning wasn't even a BBC act. He fronted Granada's Wheeltappers and Shunters variety show and that was a cleaned up act with no blue or racist material.

America's Weakness, Europe's Strength The 'new' national security strategy is the admission of defeat from a declining country

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ attempts to force πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ surrender are currently 0 from 3. Europe is winning, even if it doesn't realise.
Trump's national security strategy exposes weakness. Its attitude to Europe is like the obsessive ex stalking the former partner, wondering who that new guy is.

Aussie PM Bob Hawke caught in a similar situation called a heckling bigot a silly old bugger who didn’t know what he was talking about. He won the election.

How quiet is a decentralised MVHR? Does it need any ducting installed?

The Economic Impact of Brexit Other

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have Β£40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

Remember those Daily Mail stories about lefty schools where even the divvy kids are handed a prize at the end of term? That's the Conservative Party that is.

Sadiq Khan's pretty good at that kind of stuff as well. Ed Davey should give a swerve, though.

Governor Schwarzenegger did that sort of stuff and it worked for Arnie.

Then compare Japan to China which has a larger GDP than Japan but not per capita. Just having more people doesn’t automatically make the average individual richer.

Not necessarily, Japan's GDP per capita has held up despite falling birthrates and an inability or will to attract overseas labour.

Already happening. Remember that Farage bloke telling us "we're full up" for two decades? He now believes there's not enough people. care.org.uk/news/2025/05...

Germany to face a shortfall of 768,000 skilled workers by 2028: Report Germany Skilled Workers Shortage: A recent report by the German Economic Institute highlights a looming shortfall of 768,000 skilled workers in Germany by 2028 due to demographic shifts and an ageing ...

What if immigration is slowing because of more competition for their skills and falling birth rates? Germany has free movement, large refugee population and welcoming immigration policies. But still can't plug labour shortages. hrme.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industr...

The dozens of seats the Tories lost to Lib Dems and Labour are neither middle class lefty voters or obsessed with immigrants and Europe. Reform make little headway in those marginal.

Climate change calls for rapid depopulation, countries should embrace falling birthrates and those that aren't need to wake up.

Destitute by design: trapped in the immigration system Migration policy is not only failing people forced to arrive in Britain by boats. In an extract from a new edited volume, Daniel Trilling reports on t...

In 2023 @tom-clark.bsky.social got me to write a chapter for his book on UK poverty about how immigration limbo, which Labour wants more of, makes people destitute. It was the most distressing piece I've ever worked on. We sent a copy to every MP. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/society/6081...

The message to refugees is clear, don't come to Britain as we're a mean sprited hate filled people and you aren't welcome.
