Yeah, Iโ€™m sorry, but the โ€œmy poor activists who are merely going around promoting a policy that will revoke settlement status from non-European migrants being called racist is just beyond the paleโ€ shtick simply does not fly.

If you donโ€™t want to be called a racist, stop doing racist shit. Simple.

THE TRIAL BALLOON Trumpโ€™s National Guard stunt in Los Angeles isnโ€™t about restoring order. It was a dress rehearsal for seizing controlโ€”and a warning that American democracy is on the brink of becoming optional

This an interesting take. Maybe save for later:

Yes, why not? More affordable housing would also help in many places...

Time for Scotland to be given the power to set our own immigration levels.

No, it's disgusting. The sooner Scotland detaches ourselves from an England lurching towards the far-right, the better...

Of course, but I meant the HQ and the location of the key assemblies. It really should meet in a safe neutral country. The US no longer meets those requirements.

It's probably not very easy to do, but I believe it may be time for the UN to relocate to a more congenital country...

Never underestimate the Tories. They are very good at rebirths. All it will take is a credible leader.

Not really. Claiming that "the main parties are all the same" is a far-right delusion that I don't share. Labour gov'ts are objectively fairer than Tory ones. Given a binary choice I would vote against Tories every time.

Yet, look at the previous gov't. Sunak was weak and corrupt, the NHS, prison system and the economy were all starting to collapse. I think Labour has begun to fix the basics. We can pressure them to do more.

The activities of Cummings and the various Mercer funded anti-EU campaigns were enough to swing the vote. Targeted ads deceived some voters that Turkish entry was imminent, while left-wing voters were assured that the result was 'in the bag' so their votes were unnecessary. The referendum was a sham

Winning is important, but I've more or less written off the English electorate. A socialist Scotland is much more likely if we dissolve the Union.

I believe it was far more serious than we were told. However, I accept that I have nothing to go on except rumours. I'm not a conspiracy theorist kind of guy.

Most Americans have no idea that there is no way back to pre-inauguration governance via online posts, TV hits, lawsuits and voting in maybe-free, maybe not-so-free elections.

That ship has sailed.

โ€œAll this โ€˜shock and aweโ€™ from Trump & Musk is overwhelming. But forced to defend all of this will stretch them thin. We have to be considered and strategic. Once the challenges start coming, it is them who will have to prioritise what to defend and what to junk. So take a breath and hold the line.โ€

Trumpโ€™s new world chaos offers possibilities for post-Brexit Britain. New post on my Brexit & Beyond Blog. The UK's choice isnโ€™t just between US & EU, it's about the new global divide, and it could finally change the stale politics of Brexit: chrisgreybrexitblog.blogspot.com/2025/02/trum...

Elon Musk, the unelected half-trillionaire who controls the Treasury and is taking a chainsaw to the government, is explicitly calling for โ€œmore immigration of White South Africansโ€ because they are โ€œfiscally positive.โ€

He will end up costing US taxpayers more money. The Federal jobs being axed will still have to be done, but now they have been privatised and will be done less efficiently and for profit.
