You know the people of Dubai are wise & learned.
Take for example this female Dubai citizen.
She intelligently argues that all billionaires should be allowed to be ignorant, racist & fascist.
Why?
Because they er…

Erm…
Have lots of money.
That’s it

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
Take Big Money Out of Our Politics
British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

A reminder of one of the loveliest pairs of siblings in the dictionary: ‘muscle’ and ‘mouse’. To the Roman imagination, the flexed biceps of a (typically naked) athlete resembled a rodent scuttling under the skin. ‘Musculus’, in Latin, means ‘little mouse’.

The Epstein files show that Brexit was never a “plucky British revolt”. In reality, Brexit was fed, and empowered, by an entire class of oligarchs and autocrats, who thrive on chaos, weak regulation and brittle institutions.
The will of the rich and powerful: Brexit and the Epstein files
The Epstein files reveal the role of Brexit in a global network which stands to gain from undermining democracy itself

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

So glad to see George Cottrell being named in parliament yesterday. He was Farage’s head of fundraising when he convicted of an offence related to money laundering & is still close to & funding Farage. Crypto is an urgent democratic threat to the UK
I am deeply suspicious of parties which court cryptocurrency donations, given the potential for money laundering, by organised criminal gangs and malign foreign governments.
Yesterday in Parliament, I rang the alarm bell at Farage's continuing closeness to wire fraud convict George Cottrell.

Hell of a statement from Virginia Giuffre’s family to Ghislaine Maxwell: “You deserve to spend the rest of your life in a jail cell. Trapped in a cage forever, just like you trapped your victims.”

I like the govt's plan to ban smartphones and social media in schools but nobody's mentioned the glaring hole in it
![Scene is a spoof TV news item. The NEWSREADER is talking to camera from behind the desk.
NEWSREADER:
Now, here to discuss the smartphone ban in schools…
We have with us, YouTube Shorts.
[Pull back to show an anthropomorphised version of the YOUTUBE SHORTS screen, sat in the interviewee's chair across from the newsreader]
NEWSREADER:
Good morning.
YOUTUBE SHORTS:
Hi
NEWSREADER:
You Tube Shorts, you work in education...
YOUTUBE SHORTS:
Yes.
I work in schools across the country teaching Epic Dance
Fail, Try Not To Cringe Challenge and Al Slop.
NEWSREADER:
And will the proposed phone ban limit your ability to do your job?
YOUTUBE SHORTS:
No.
I'll still be on all school laptops because YouTube is vaguely educational and Google have made me impossible to turn off.
NEWSREADER:
So children are being asked to do their homework on...
...the most advanced distraction machine ever created?
YOUTUBE SHORTS:
Well-
I think a more constructive way to frame that question might be:
Can IShowSpeed jump over a moving Lamborghini?
[The newsreader silently looks at the screen on YOUTUBE SHORTS's front, where a YouTuber jumps over a Lamborghini. This continues for an awkward beat]
NEWSREADER:
Woah.
NEWSREADER [returning to awareness]:
What were we talking about?
YOUTUBE SHORTS [pointing at the next Short which has appeared on its own front]:
Look at this fat dog.

He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'.
But there is only one terrorist here, and Palantir are war criminals.
