Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen:
"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.

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the-actual-fuck?!
Ukip have submitted a new logo and slogan to the Electoral Commission, swapping the £ pound sterling symbol for a cross, that looks very much like it is modelled on the Iron Cross used by Prussia & Germany 1871-1918 and Hitler's Nazi regime from 1933-45

Trump praised Hitler, has operated concentration camps, is engaged in ethnic cleansing of America, is using troops against innocent citizens, is committing mass murders and acts of war against other countries, and is overthrowing foreign countries. We know where this is going.

This is especially bad news for Leila Cunningham who has been put forward as Reform UK’s Mayoral Candidate (two and half years ahead of the election), and rather punctures her message that we Londoners must be “pitied.”
Brilliant work by our current mayor, @london.gov.uk.

If I was going to describe Dump in any even vaguely positive terms - which I'm not going to - describing him as a "very aesthetic person" would still not occur to me. Good thing I'd just finished my first coffee of the day or I'd be cleaning my screen and wall.

X ceased being a public square years ago, and over the last month, it’s degraded even further.
A platform that enables the creation non-consensual sexualised images of women and children cannot be treated as neutral ground - and governments choosing to stay are endorsing it.
Enough is enough.

Staying on X is an Endorsement - and It's Unforgivable
The UK government cannot claim to protect women and children while continuing to post on a platform that enables their abuse.

It’s time for all of Europe to CUT OFF THE USA COMPLETELY, tonight, at midnight.
Zero payments flow to the USA.

Seize all Trump family assets.
He can pick countries off, as a typical childish bully does.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

You know the thing about Jimmy Carr? I flip-flop on my opinion of him. He's done some shady shit in the name of profit, and he often makes inappropriate jokes; but I do also think he's genuinely kind in his way.
