Hi @anassarwar.bsky.social if youโ€™re going to use bots to boost engagement with your content, then it might be worthwhile paying a bit more to make it less obvious. Cringeworthy stuff indeed.
And ehh, Mibby insist that they all hide where they come from would be the way to go.

Starmer will be on the phone thanking Anus for saving the day - before he sacks him๐Ÿ˜‚

So Anus, disrepctful friend of Starmer and Mandelson, is surely for the chop.
How does that work?
Scotland doesnโ€™t like or want him and his โ€œpartyโ€. On the other hand Scotland wonโ€™t be impressed when English Labour send him packing and appoint a successor.

Cheaper, cleaner, sustainable and publicly owned.
Just think what our energy would be like with that same model.

Scotland welcomes Sudanese fund raisers Sudanese friends walk 900 miles through Britain, raising ยฃ90k for refugee schools and proving the nationโ€™s heart is full of welcome

โ€œThe rightwing politicians keep saying they know the will of the people. But the will of the people weโ€™ve seen has been very different. In the last 900 miles weโ€™ve seen nothing but compassion, kindness and generosity. "

Nigel Farage racks up ยฃ151,000 in donor-funded flights to support Donald Trump Most recently, Farage attended an event at Trumpโ€™s Mar A Lago resort celebrating US Military Veterans just months before Trumpโ€™s vile slur dismissing the sacrifice of British troops who served in Afgh...

Farage pays for nothing himself. He rakes it in from media, crypto, gold bullion, Xโ€ฆ Clacton isnโ€™t worth his time.

Heโ€™s a rep for the US christofascist far right and is being paid to bring that shit over here.

Itโ€™s all a grift. A pisstake. A very sinister betrayal.

he just said more stuff.

It won't be a popular opinion and I'm very much a sports fan but I don't think Scotland should go to the world cup.

I simply don't think it's safe or that FIFA and this regime in the US should be supported.

He is going to ignore it isn't he? Like he never said it and the USA will just carry on in ignorance. That just makes it all the worse, they are not our friends or allies.

The monarch is missing in action rather than defend his armed forces. Instead his estranged son is the only royal to show a shred of respect, to get angry and do the right thing.
He is Canada's monarch too.

Where are all the USA politicians calling Trump out? Are they really all that stupid that they agree or are they simply cowards?
Their silence denigrates those who sacrificed their all alongside USA soldiers.
Their silence is utterly shameful, is that really โ€œAmericanโ€?

Is Westminster really looking after our defence?
Ajax tanks that harm the occupants.
Unreliable aircraft carriers that need American made and maintained aircraft.
Nuclear subs and missiles on hire from the US and canโ€™t be fired without USA permission.

Congratulations USA, you will get a base on Greenland that you didnโ€™t want and donโ€™t need.
Itโ€™s an inhospitable place, difficult to get to, hard to develop and maintain.
It will cost you $1Bs and no one will enjoy the posting.

Politicians and diplomats are well fed up with him.
A NATO โ€œdealโ€ is just doing what the USA could do anyway.
But now the USA tax payer will be saddled with a $1Bs dollar base they didnโ€™t want and donโ€™t need to justify his madness.

He / the USA are going to get one. Itโ€™s not going to be business as usual. They have lost the trust of many and economies are already looking elsewhere.
