Forgive me appearing conceited but I’ve been, in my own little way, trying to draw attention to this problem since 2015. Ignored by most academics…

Bc it discloses SIGINT activity in the Pacific region, I’d guess. Of all the daft things unqualified Tulsi Gabbard has said, this is one of the daftest (intel is always a weapon & a useful one). What is she on about??

Those in the UK media refusing to believe that Trump’s 6 Jan speech incited the Capitol riots, intentionally or inadvertently, should note that even a fanatical Trump supporter like MTG understands how Trump’s words can lead to terrifying outcomes.

BBC ‘infiltrated by trans activists’, Tavistock whistleblower claims
This ought certainly to be investigated. Far more serious & far more damaging than calling out Trump.

An interesting statistic. The EU out-performs us. Stopping the pull factor but will it stop those boats?

The Times thinks it’s Hitler’s blood from his sofa.

A very bizarre story about Hitler’s DNA. How did they know the blood was Hitler’s? His medical & hospital records survived him (listed as ‘Patient No 1’ or ‘Adolf Mueller’ we’re told). They don’t mention any serious abnormality nor has any other Third Reich or Austrian doctor. The story may be b*lls

The AfD delegation to Russia goes ahead, despite co-leader Weidel’s objections bc co-leader Chrupalla says Putin’s actions in UKR & the Baltic Sea don’t affect Germany one bit; Poland is just as likely to be a danger to Germany. Ugh.

The great Peter Kellner detects a significant split in REF voters between ‘24 voters & ‘25 supporters, over rels with the EU & climate change. Hmm. Both seem equally certain that all immigration is bad for us. What is clear is that unless Starmer can secure our borders, he’s toast.

Massive Google investment in Germany, Sir Keir. What’s Germany got that we haven’t? The largest single market of free peoples in the world, low interest rates & a common currency.

Looks pretty conclusive to me: we await the reaction from Olusoga & Lammy. Both recently a bit busy with their work - ‘Traitors’ & ‘Prisons’.

It looks like Prof Olusoga (& David Lammy) have some serious explaining to do.

This is certainly something the BBC should be required to explain. We all heard the comment implying British soldiers of colour were denied war graves (which tbh was most surprising). It seems it’s not true. Pretty bad.

Patel has few qualifications for his key role as FBI Director - apart from total loyalty to Trump, the only ‘qualification’ Trump cares about.
