The US seems very entitled when they beg other countries to save them from Trump... who is threatening those countries daily. This is your mess, it's up to you to clean it. The same goes for any tyrant, tyranny can't simply be removed is must be dismantled from the inside.

It's finally happening.

The Swedish prime minister just announced that a pan-European force is arriving in #Greenland as we speak.

No word yet on whether UK forces are among them.

We talk about how core nations can give restitution for colonialism, how European governments can meaningfully address the wrongs of the past.

Defending an indigenous state from a hostile imperial takeover and guaranteeing their independence would be a start imo.
There should be no negotiations on Greenland. Move troops there and make it very clear that if the Americans try to take it, they'll have to kill British and European troops to do so. And that in all likelihood some Americans would die too. Trump wouldn't dare, and if he did, he'd be stopped.

A Jewish MP was banned from a school because he was Jewish - or so our government and media have suggested.

That is a total lie.

This is yet another cause of how Israel's apologists are shamelessly deceiving you 👇

Jesus FUCKING CHRIST
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

If someone was brave enough or technically smart enough, to release photos of Trump with the young girls, the photos described by the author Michael Wolff… Trump would be forced to resign immediately! Until then let’s share what we can

This is beyond shocking - how can this be allowed to happen? Why on earth can’t they be released on bail? They have a right to a fair trial, appropriate medical treatment, & the removal of punitive Prison Service conditions. Govt’s ban on Palestine Action is simply intolerable

The murders will continue until we stop complaining about the murders?
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

We will now be getting more reports from the media and other parties saying how badly the SNP are doing. If they do not mention that any part of rUK are doing better you can guarantee that Scotland is out performing all the others.

The BBC is doing it again. On both the Radio 3 & Radio 6 news it reported Vance's story about that video of Renee Good's murder and denials of it, without telling us the facts. It should have the same approach to weather forecasting: "some say it'll rain, some say it won't. Who can tell, eh?"

@martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com gas price is tumbling, yet there is no sign of our electric prices falling. Don't say it's the future wholesale price or that it's grid upgrades. It's corporate greed, fuelled by ofcom's inability and total lack of desire to control that greed.

I'll just leave this stat here.
Only four people in the UK have formally complained about a trans woman entering a “single-sex” facility, an eye-opening report has revealed.

A report published by advocacy group TransLucent found that only four official complaints were documented across 382 public bodies since 2022.

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months."

Shameful.

If any protester dies Starmer will be personally responsible. He proscribed Palestine Action for political reasons in order to suppress free speech and silence criticism of Israel

Did you know that since the SNP nationalised Scotrail it has helped to contribute £4Bn to the Scottish economy, instead of paying out dividends to rich shareholders?
