It will take “two days” to raze it to the ground I guess.

Even the Australian government is paying trump’s tribute demands

On that score, the CRS report says, “A January 2, 2026, press report stated that ‘Australia quietly sent another $A1.5 billion to the United States in a non-refundable down payment for AUKUS in December’.”

AUKUS from where we are – and why that’s the problem Australia’s AUKUS submarine program is tied to struggling US and UK shipbuilding systems, escalating costs and political whim, raising questions about whether the right defence choices were ever properly debated.

Australia’s AUKUS submarine plan is hostage to US and UK shipbuilding delays, rising costs and political whim – all from a decision made without a wider defence debate, Crispin Hull writes.

Their bubble has a skin ten times stronger than kryptonite

Trouble is, the national Health Service for instance is staffed by loads of us immigrants. If they get rid of us it would collapse.
Probably their plan.

It’s fascinating . The new far right party gaining in the polls are promising a version of Britain from the 1950’s where everyone is middle class. And white. That will solve all the ills …

No, as we knew it would happen. Anyway, personally it’s not about the cost of things, it’s simply you can’t buy anyway near the amount of stuff you could before.

What reason herzog’s invitation?

I’m an Aussie, I just live in the UK. I have a soft spot for the UK and Europe. Been pretty good to me!

My take on Starmer is he just held his nose and gave Mandy the gig as ambassador coz the UK really needs to keep Trump onside. He had fingers, toes crossed, but it’s blown up in his face. But what was he to do? We’ve lost the EU, and to lose the US would fuck the UK (even more)

Well, yes. In a nutshell.

…and BBC’s Chris Mason

He’s the palantir cunt isn’t he? No wonder #farageriots is so happy. Sorry NHS, it was nice having you. #BBCsilence #ChrisMasoncrickets

He exudes class, doesn’t he.

And they’re asking peaceful protesters to ‘lower the temperature’.

But why the BBC? That’s what I don’t get. #farageriots has always said he wants to destroy the BBC

Film noir mate. I’m old enough to remember the bits they cut out these days.

Then, on 17 December 2009, Mr Epstein asked Lord Mandelson if Jamie Dimon should call the Chancellor one more time.

Lord Mandelson responded that Jamie Dimon should “mildly threaten” Alistair Darling:

I’ve worked with loads of nurses for over 30 years. They’re always kicking the shit out of taillights. What is it with #nursing ??

Answer: don’t read the Daily Fail. Ever.

I’m pretty sure that’s the Yarra river in Melbourne, not France

It’s in the arches under the train station. Chelmsford viaduct. There’s loads of bars!

The fuck?
