The Dumbing Down of America It’s as easy as G-O-P

For Trump to succeed he needs an uneducated electorate who will believe his lies. Pay attention to what he’s doing.

A rare example where an engineer thought about the mechanic. (1950s)

Noooo!

We now learn that Fifa had a very specific "ask" in exchange for its "Peace Award" to Trump, with loads of gold trinkets, and that was dismissal of a criminal corruption case against senior Fifa officials. And Trump granted it. Another corrupt bargain, barely noticed (and ignored by US media).

Opinion | "We need to puncture the argument that high-earners shouldn’t have to pay more tax because they “worked hard” for their money. We are all working hard! Bob Cratchit worked hard," writes Kate Lister trib.al/jIAK93F

The US blackmails the International Criminal Court to protect war criminals The US has demanded that international law be rewritten to exempt US officials, or else… This claim sounds so cartoonishly evil that it must surely be hyperbole and yet it’s true.

The US-Russia 28-point peace proposal includes the recognition of Crimea, Luhansk and Donetsk as “de facto” Russian. Ownership of territories bordering the sea is critical for securing shipping routes and ports that play a vital role in supporting economic growth within these areas.

Not comfortable with the celebrations in some replies, but the article is weird. Paints him as a working class hero and "character", rather than a man with a lifetime of violence.and hooliganism, who fell to his death while taking part in a festival of xenophobia. It normalises it. Dangerous.

Follow the money.

Zelensky arrived in Kupyansk, which Putin claims is "under Russian control."

A small reminder that Ukraine is already a democracy and that they don't exactly need elections right now in the middle of a defensive war against Russia and its eternal Dear Leader and his team of creative idiots in the Kremlin.

Leaked documents claim 'US wants to convince four countries to quit EU' in bid to 'Make Europe Great Again' | LBC Donald Trump is allegedly attempting to persuade four countries to quit the European Union as part of his plan to “Make Europe Great Again.”

Trump wants to subjugate Europe and we need to stop being weak, band together, & take up our role as the bloc that is now the leader of the free world.

Meta shuts down global accounts linked to abortion advice and queer content More than 50 organisations report sites being restricted or removed, with abortion hotlines blocked and posts showing non-explicit nudity triggering warnings

I dumped Facebook back in 2015. It was discovered that "META" provided Russia election rich data via Cambridge Analytics. Russians used that data to target voters and get Trump elected. Fancy Bear a Russian hacker group hacked the DNC emails in 2015. FCK FACEBOOK

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time

"Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?"

Chair says "have English as a second language"

Caption changes the meaning entirely
"Don't speak fluent English"

Just an observation… but if Farage *was not* now a racist - genuinely… then he would really want to make up for the hurt he caused as a schoolboy bully. Definitely not make it worse.
Instead, he’s angry and accusing. So, he is racist. And raging with anyone who says so. Or thinks that’s a problem.

Nigel Farage, "At Michael Barrymore's house they removed all the ashtrays, on the basis that they chuck all the fags in the pool."

Let’s not forget Nigel Farage’s daughter’s first language is German. In Wales children can speak Welsh and English. Farage’s only route to power is to play on people’s fears using lies and deception Like Putin and Trump. Reform Wales leader jailed for betraying the people of the U.K.

Presumably Farage is going after kids who speak Gaelic, Welsh, Irish and Cornish, too. Languages that pre-date English in the British Isles

Nigel Farage: two of my children have German passports In interview with Nick Clegg, former Ukip leader also suggests Britain lost second world war

I'll just drop this here

'In the exchange with Clegg, which features on the Lib Dem leader’s new podcast, Farage denied his children felt as European as they did British, although he added they spoke “perfect German”.'

It sounds as if Farage has no knowledge or understanding that English is not the only indigenous language spoken in these islands.

Stephen Flynn criticises Nigel Farage from attacking children who speak more than one language #BBCQT

"A man who aspires to be PM of these isle would pick a fight with school kids, would hold school kids up as an object to beat, absolutely repulses me and it should repulse all of you as well"

Families call for tougher laws on drug-driving killers Bereaved families demand roadside licence bans after drug driving deaths surge 78% in a decade.

I smell cannabis every day where I live. It can also be smelt when driving as it comes through the car vents. People pass on pavements openly smoking it. And don’t tell me it’s ’only’ cannabis it leads to stronger drugs.

Last night, Ukrainian drones struck the Yaroslavl Oil Refinery (Slavneft–YANOS). The company is owned on an equal basis by Gazprom and Rosneft. At least seven explosions were reported, followed by a fire on site. The facility was last attacked on October 31.

Are you great yet, Russia?
