Hard not to get all conspiracy focused when you have Peter Thiel, discussing Brexit with Epstein.

It seems the world has been manipulated by the billionaires for the billionaires, and to hell with democracy.

Not scared about the power big USA tech now has in the UK?

You should be.

From funding politics to being the infrastructure layer for the UK gov, we are now totally dependent on USA tech and by default the tech bros.

At least the ID scheme was scrapped.

We need a plan for data sovereignty

A joke?

This website cost the uk gov £4.1m
It includes
- Courses that don’t exist
- Course labelled free that you need to pay
- A course only if you live in Canada

It sums up much about this gov

A lot of initial hope, backed by waffle, delivering nothing, costing lots.

Should the UK or EU offer to send independent election observers to monitor the USA mid terms?

We do in many countries struggling with democracy.

It might help derail the almost certain interference from ICE or the FBI
When Keystone Kash's FBI raided the Georgia election office, they not only took all the ballots and equipment, they also took the back-up images of the ballots.

Taking the back-up images means that they can tamper with the ballots without anyone being able to prove they did it.

The shaded area is when Stella Braverman was in office as Home Secretary, in charge of immigration.

To join Reform because immigration is too high is forget her part, in that story

Turn coat tories are opportunistic liars and to see her boot licking Farage reminds us all of the cult of Trump

Uk:- think of the devices, software and hardware that you use daily. I bet 99% rely on USA tech

Now imagine the USA becomes hostile and threatens to turn that tech off? That’s what a vassal state looks like

Watching the USA unravel, in such a short time, needs to be a warning to the UK.

If I was to find one positive in Trump, it was that he has succeeded in creating a European identity.

More so than the EU, a flag or the rider cup

The UK needs to belong in that identity. Not a vassal of the USA

Whatever comes out of Trumps mouth (or his social feed), do not believe it.

No matter what face saving deal he agrees now, his desire to expand the USA remains.

And I guarantee at some point he will state that Greenland is his.

A sad but perfect summary of where we are at.
Trump sincerely believes Norway stole “his” Nobel Peace Prize.

That isn’t a joke. It’s the key to understanding his second presidency.

We have to drop the self-delusion, over-intellectualisation and listen to him. America is no longer Europe’s ally.

I wouldn’t get too excited about the Trump line on force in Greenland. He’s been spooked by the markets and possibly by US public opinion. It’ll be the line until it’s not where he’ll hint at it again. Which might be later today.

Stupid decision BBC

The UK needs ONE new commercial platform alongside Sky, made up of The BBC (less the news), ITV, 4 & 5

It could even grow into an independent platform for influencers and content creators.

Stop relying on USA tech.

Why not have a “freedom” World Cup in the UK this summer?

All countries against war, the sycophancy of FiFA and the Fascism of Trump invited.

It will be cheaper, more fun, better attended, safer, and would attract the best players and football nations on the planet.
