Trump says World Cup matches might have to be relocated for unsafe cities in the USA. Given there are more guns than humans there, perhaps the safety of all teams and fans would be to cancel the USA matches and move to Canada and Mexico.

Is Nigel Farage a racist? Here in France he backs them. At the the last Presidential election he considered Le Pen too left wing and supported Eric Zemmour who was convicted of racism, not once but twice in 2011 and 2018. He appealed those convictions to the ECHR (the irony eh Farage?) and lost.

Trump wants the Europeans and nato members to stop buying Russian oil before sanctioning the mass murderer. He might start with a discussion with his mates in Hungary, Slovakia and Turkey.
Perhaps we should treat Russian oil akin to blood diamonds.

As an organisation the idf has killed children in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Iran, The West Bank and Libya. Surely we can call them war criminals without defaming the whole Jewish nation.

The Israelis are showing a film of Hamas atrocities to Greta Thurnberg and her sailing resisters. Netanyahu must have been watching “Clockwork Orange” about how fascist regimes “re-educate” people. All power to Greta and her comrades.

In the year after Nelson Mandela’s election I worked with the ANC in South Africa to provide a fairness in local elections for the Boer farmers. We achieved a consensus thanks to the current President of South Africa. What Trump and Musk did today was a disgrace.
