It’s okay, I didn’t really want any savings anyway

Yeah yeah it’s great. I was just thinking this morning that I didn’t really like having savings anyway

It’s probably better this way… better to know that fascism causes this, rather than thinking it is the answer to fixing it

I have this sinking feeling in my stomach… whilst I am glad that Len Pen is barred from standing in the next presidential election, I worry history shows that it could come back to bite us all in the backside

He’s lost his fucking mind.

Ohhh probably about $350bn worth

Happened to stroll past Checkpoint Charlie today after work. Once a gateway to freedom, now a reminder to read the fine print on security guarantees.

Cold War relics sure hit differently when you’re not sure if the sequel is getting the same budget 😬

Do NATO countries have to come the US’s aid if it attacks itself? Cause that’s all I see happening right now

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

After the shower of shit that was today in the oval office, this is unsurprisingly picking up pace. Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

This is opinion polling for the 2025 Canadian federal election.
