@stephenkb.bsky.social just read Inside Politics today. I must be being slow. But I find it hard to follow you roundly rejecting “The UK should recognise the rules of the world have changed” option (which includes siding with the EU), but endorsing “Form an alliance with democratic middle powers”

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Trump says X & others disagree

Typical false balance — as if (with all the evidence available to us) both sides have equal weight

Trump and his regime are clearly lying. Report the truth

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command"

Boxing Day with fewer/no top flight fixtures could be a new lower/non-league day. Lots of more affordable local games for people to attend wherever they're spending Christmas.

sometimes I think about how, well within my lifetime, the most popular newspaper in the UK used to regularly and legally print pictures of topless 16-year olds on page 3.
