It’s both truly great that we all can video-document horrors and also horrible that we all have ready access to those videos.

Reminder that it wasn't just right-wing columnists bigging up Trump after the 2024 election win.

Anas Sarwar too was saying how crucial it was to put Scottish business links ahead of silly political concerns

Somehow I doubt he will want this messaging in election flyers now

This is the story of Sadie, who's a full-time carer for her sister, but when a proposed welfare reform threatens their survival, she decides to put together a team of rag-tag friends - to bring down the government.

Watch The Whip and don't forget to leave a review on IMDB and Letterboxed
I don't want to dwell on this too much because it's pretty pointless, however if you are going to post a wall of text in my replies, at least share the link where people can watch my latest feature film, The Whip, which received three stars from The Guardian youtu.be/vboUAIibXPo?...

"If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU."

"Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

Skipping to one of the other devolved legislatures, if you are not watching the developing political earthquake in Wales, you need to start. A lot of the potential drama of the Holyrood election has evaporated, and good gods has the Senedd stepped up. www.itv.com/news/wales/2...

unimaginable pain
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.
