86% of our UK arms imports come from the United States.
We are far too reliant on Donald Trump - he is unpredictable and dangerous.
Stop hoping it's going to go away. Time to stand up to the bully and to rebuild our relationships outside of the USA.

Anyone who collaborates with Trump is a cunt.
This includes Tony Blair, just in case you’re braindead or “centrist”.

TBH if you are still not pushing back against Trump then you deserve everything that happens later… this applies to US and non-US persons in a position of power.

Public Enemy: Superman Is Black In The Building (2005)
A lost classic from a very underrated album.
When I first heard this I thought of the band The Fall.
And then I read a review that said the same thing.
At that point I realised my opinion might be valid.

That story about Ukraine deliberately releasing false intelligence to the US administration (to see if it was leaked), and which Russia later acted on confirms what a lot of us suspected, that Trump is Putin's puppet.
I hope the NATO intelligence agencies take heed.

Keir Starmer choosing to hand our data and security to US tech companies is an outrageous failure of judgment.
All in the name of "investment." What about national security?

Guy with The Sun newspaper spread out over the table in front of him obviously overheard what I just said: “So why exactly do you think I’m a cunt?”
Me: “Because you read The Sun”
Apparently this was enough for him to “scurry the fuck outta here”.
