The USA is not our ally. Stop pretending it is, and treat it accordingly.

For the love of all that is good and holy: stop obsessing over the news, folks. The doom-mongering is no accident. It's quite deliberately designed to keep you anxious, because fear keeps you plugged into it. Keep informed, sure, but keep it limited. You'll thank me later.

Dear America, you love your guns, right? You want to stay armed because the "only thing that can stop bad men with guns is good men with guns", right?
Well....it seems now is your chance to step up.

The USA is fond of pedalling the myth that everyone needs them and they need no-one. Fine. Let them have no-one. Isolate them. Let them wallow in pariah status for a while. We'll chat again when they sort their government out.

Tell you what. America can take Greenland from Denmark if over 50% of Americans can locate Greenland and Denmark on a map.

A confrontation between the EU/UK and the USA isn't going to end well for anyone. And yet this US regime is threatening to take us there. I only hope my own country's leaders have the balls to support and defend Denmark if it comes to it.

I hope Keir Starmer and the rest of the UK government can find a set of balls quickly because this US administration is quickly becoming tyrannically bullish.
If Trump eyes Greenland are you just going to sit on your asses "analysing the situation"?

I brought some Christmas joy to a wee pensioner last night. She was in front of me in the queue at Tesco and her shopping came to £53.74. When she counted out her change she only had £48.50. She told me not to help her, but I insisted and we had her items reshelved in no time at all.

This is a very fair, compassionate, and rational comment on the murder of Charlie Kirk that avoids the hysteria so rampant on both sides.
