It cannot be long now before the critical mass happens. The Military is ordered by Trump to seize a Judge. This will be the moment that defines the end of democracy or the end of Trump's regime. Everything else is talk. It will come down to if the military will do as Trump demands over rule of law

It's been 20 years since "The Austin" closed. My grandad, uncle, dad and I all worked here at some point.

I agree with Nationalising Scunthorpe Steel. It's needed to block Reform and hold back the xenophobia built into these communities. All you hear in interviews is that it's "bloody immigrants"

I watched The Spy who Loved Me last night and I completely forgotten that the last 45 minutes of the film is a battle on an underground submarine base

The average cost of a dozen large eggs jumped 6 percent in March, now costing about $6.23 per dozen. #winning

China has moved to 125% tariffs on US imports. China requires 8500 aircraft by 2040. Bad news for an already ailing Boeing and good news for Airbus

The Nazis were well organised and efficient. This is not. It's the saving grace. This attempt will implode eventually. Putin rules with an iron fist and windows left open. Trump has neither German efficiency nor Russian brutality. He has American complacency and ignorance

Two American Airlines jets clip wings on runway at Reagan airport. Slashing a workforce means mistakes. It's only a matter of time ✈️💥

Tariffs in China are actually 145% because once again someone made a mistake.
April 10, 2025 at 4:09 PM
I believe that Trump won't quit the tariffs..this is going to go to the day that there is such a mass protest that Trump orders Hesketh to shoot people. Then comes the moment. Will the Military kill innocent protesters?

This is the one decision it all rides on.

Those egg prices are not going to look good anytime soon. Chickens need Biotin in their feed and China was the source of 61.7% of biotin shipments to the United States in 2023. Somewhat a critical supplier

Today's poll shows 43% of the British see the USA as an ally. We are not keen on dictators historically. They get short shrift here

Are there any pork scratchings not made in the West midlands?

MAGA dope on Conservative subreddit states Turkey is left for banning political opponents. What happened to Le Pen is not what Ergodan is doing.

Chappell Roan seems to be an insufferable prig. Rich AF and constantly moaning about everything.

The Special elections flipping blue in Lancaster PA show that Trump has one shot at this dictatorship. He will lose the House in 2026 if he allows fair elections.

Putin mocks the UK military. His 3 day special operation has some project creep.. he has no chance of finishing up in Ukraine

Can't be long before Trump signs an EO to tariff Thailand and Myanmar.

A must read article on why the bombing of Houthis achieves nothing and arguably makes the situation worse. jacobin.com/2025/03/yeme...
The Real Yemen Scandal Has Zero to Do With Jeffrey Goldberg
The press is mostly framing the Yemen group chat scandal as a story of incompetence. There’s little attention being paid to the deadliness, illegality, and ineffectiveness of the strikes themselves.

Farage is such a charlatan. I don't feel like I can be a bloke anymore. His words are always populist lies
