They plunder, they slaughter, and they steal: this they falsely name Empire, and where they make a wasteland, they call it peace- Calgacus.
UK politics deserves Farage. Its a cesspit of corruption, deceit and self-interest. Farage slithering to that muck just helps strip away the veneer the political class tries to coat its actions with. Although to be fair, Starmer is doing a fair job of that too.

Yes and the US was bombing before him too, and if it survives him some other president, Rep or Dem, will bomb tens of thousands of more poor people into dust all the in the name of whatever justification they think up. The US collapsing may be the best thing that can happen for the world.

I actually found Trump's win in 2016 hilarious. To watch that entitled 1%er's coronation come apart, well it was really something. Trump ran a well thought out campaign, he lied to everyone, but he took the time to lie. Clinton just thought she deserved it and it would be handed to her.

Unlike Biden, Obama, Bush etc he's so spoiled that he believes he need have nothing to do with the veneer usually plastered over these actions. After all, Biden enabled genocide, not something you'd normally see even a US president do, but he did it. The US was rotten long before Trump.

Biden presided over a country that was using sanctions, coercion and conflict to try and preserve the economic dominance of the US that had been gained by decades of horrendous brutality. It was all starting to come apart. Trump in his batshit, man-baby way is also trying to prevent that..

Blaming someone else for your country's fuckups and degenerate state is basically denial.
And yes the Tories made problems worse, but so did Labour before them. The fact is that western problems won't be solved by parties that adhere to an ideology that caused those problems in the first place.

Maybe millions of people around the world will be spared bombs falling on their heads, they can vote for a government knowing that it won't be targeted by Washington if it doesn't like their policies. Israel and various dictators around will suddenly find they have no bully backup. I'm ok with it.

Well maybe the Dems shouldn't have allowed a clearly impaired octogenarian to run, and then when he couldn't be trusted to walk in the direction he was pointed, parachuted in a continuity puppet who had bombed her first time round. As for the final destruction of the good old USA..

Plain fact. They thought she would majestically swan over Trump's floundering blubber on her way to her coronation. Didn't turn out that way. So like I said, if you're going to get all angsty about his enablers, just include the lot. Don't miss any out.

But Mueller also claimed that right-wing rallies were organized by Russian agents.. where have we heard that kind of thing recently? You know, outside agitators, paid protesters, foreign influence? All sounds very familiar doesn't it. And there's a reason for that, its called smokescreening.

Take the IRA influence, a propaganda campaign? Really? Since when has the US stayed out of other countries elections? Since when has it refrained from trying to influence elections? Did you see what happened in Georgia? But yes I guess some alleged Facebook ads really swung that election..

Actually no it didn't, the Mueller report found there was no evidence of Trump collusion, and as you say it could not prove obstruction. What it also did, as I said, was to throw in a load of chaff to detract from its central findings and provide some face-saving. It was laughable drivel..

I think what we should remember is that when Trump was struggling for the Republican nomination, the Clinton camp asked their media allies to play up Trump as they thought he would be the easiest opponent. If you really want to point a finger at his enablers..

364 days of Trump's second term and US liberals are still bizarrely trying to blame Putin. Face it Yanks, this is your shitshow. A domestic, home-grown clusterfuck, don't try and blame it on anyone else. It's not as if your country hasn't been batshit for a long time so why are you surprised?

You mean when he failed to find any credible evidence of Russian involvement so had to just throw in some face-saving chaff?

Putin living in the head of idiot liberals. This is your country's shitshow, don't blame it on anyone else. No one put Trump in power save US voters. Its not as if your country hasn't been batshit for years.

Its just hilarious watching the Reform mob trying to explain how a party led by a millionaire ex-stockbroker, funded by billionaires, with 80% of its elected representatives having attended private schools and being a bolt hole for Tories, is the anti-establishment party.

German troops, well the whole 12 of them, have suddenly been withdrawn from Greenland. The German government is stating that their mission has been accomplished.. whatever it was.

At a time like this we need strong European governments to stand up for international law and European interests, unfortunately here we have the Starmer government which is only strong against the weak and vulnerable. With Trump it adopts the role of a doormat.

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.
When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.
He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.
The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.
A pattern emerging...

Lisa Nandy says Reform demonises and scapegoats "people who are somehow different" and "we should have no truck with it at all"
Shameless. This govt, that Nandy is a willing part of, has attacked & scapegoated migrants & asylum seekers relentlessly.

If you wonder why Europe is paralyzed in the face of US aggression then wonder no longer. The Ukraine proxy war has so obsessed the European neoliberal political class that they're unable to function out with its context.
