I honestly don’t know what is going on with this bentham’s bulldog guy but, I do think it is bad form to have a computer make up some text and then criticize your opponent for the text you had a computer make up

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
gives cause for great optimism."

The Trump National Security Strategy is bonkers in many ways but this objective stood out:
"Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations"
Making their strategy of supporting radical right and extremist parties explicit.

Any country or actor that says “our policy for Europe should prioritise cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory within European nations” is the EU’s enemy. We can ignore it, we can deny it, we can refuse to acknowledge it, but it is.

The Bakerloo Line stuff is the most pathetic talking point to come out of the British right. The Conservatives hallucinating a national malaise as a result of their own (correct!) decision to get as much our of the old rolling stock, which has a trade off in terms of maintenance.
Doesn't the Bakerloo look like shit because the Tories wouldn't fund new trains?
Are there any other countries whose "patriotic" publications pay foreigners to write about what a hellhole they think their country is?

sam dumitriu is being dumb once again and continuing to live in wilful ignorance about what was actually being objected to - no it wasn't the "rhetoric", it was the rejection of the mitigation hierarchy, something he and his ilk continue to ignore

The right have gotten extreme fast on war crimes - in the Spectator's interview with former SAS George Simm, we "learn" that the GFA was a mistake (Blair should have continued fighting), the Human Rights Act was a mistake, and that any murder investigations into soldiers are completely unacceptable.

it is quite clear that the "mustache-twirling villain" stock character has no one origin, instead being built up over many works, but had clearly been sufficiently established to be the target of many, many parodies by the 1900s

Nick Wallis is now on Graham Linehan’s payroll. Expect a similar descent into madness from Wallis as from Linehan. Both are equally inadequate, angry men, broken and bitter. Kicking trans women is their opiate of choice.
