The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Apparently only the people of Denmark and Greenland should decided the latter's future. The Venezuelans, similarly should choose their government. Scotland, however, is not to be granted democracy.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

The UK Government thinking everything is A-OK to keep continuing on as before with them.

Never in my lifetime has there been such a gaping moral void at the heart of this state than right now. What a grim world we're now in.

Likewise Ireland.
I remember what it was like in the 70’s & 80’s - one constant recession.
EU membership allowed the country to move from pre-industrial to high-tech in 30 years.
The only countries that have problems seem to be those who want to think they’re still World powers outside the EU.

2025 in Review: Parliamentary Polling

A remarkable collapse for Labour - not, by any true means, a recovery for the SNP - raises the likelihood of John Swinney renewing his lease on Bute House.

Sam knows that full well, he just can't bring himself to admit it. It's the same on his profile pushing UK renewables and avoiding mentioning most of it is coming from Scotland which is a net exporter of renewables to England.

The SNP Government are held to a higher account and an abnormal level of scrutiny applied by a rancid press & drippy ermine Sarwar. They often do better and the Welsh Labour Government can feck up what feels like everything, but never get held to account to the same degree 🤷‍♀️

Labour living in a fool’s paradise if it thinks it has plenty of time to turn Britain around.

Fascism awaits. Tariff wars, UK is outside the biggest trading block (EU). Poverty/Inequality rising.

Finance industry deregulated, mega crash incubating.

Must abandon neoliberalism. Need redistribution.

This can only be described as deliberate agitation.

1) UK rejected a CTA (Schengen) with Europe *before* Brexit. Why would it have one after?
2) How could UK join Schengen when its citizens don't have free movement?

It's Xmas, I want to be charitable, but stop pumping sewage. Try the truth.
