I was trained by the FBI in 92 in tactics, weapons, crowd control etc etc for my work overseas as a United States Marine at US Embassies.

What I am watching, witnessing is NOT what or how I was trained in what is called 'The progression of force'.

That policy is nowhere to be seen. 1/2

It feels like Burnham's return to the commons on the basis of becoming leader requires too much political manoeuvring and is way too public to be seen as anything other than raw ambition for power.

I like him, but its intention feels wrong?

I don't quite know how to explain it.

The hurt that orange faced cretin has caused for veterans across the county is seismic.

Any person in our nation who voices their support for that man is a traitor, not a 'patriot'.

My dad served in Afghanistan. I am so angry. He has diminished him and others like him.

Keir Starmer mocks the idea of Trumps board of peace,

"Putin being on a board of peace?"

"He is waging war on a European country"

"They're raining down bombs on Ukraine, it's -20c, 60% of the energy of Kyiv is gone and people are putting up tents in their living rooms to keep warm"

"Economists at LSE found 16,400 firms stopped exporting goods to the EU."

Brexit is punishing the small businesses driving the British economy and employment.

Some Italian soldiers that Trump says did nothing for America

Which medieval skeleton are you today?

I'm feeling like No. 5 but give me an hour and it'll be No. 6.

Creepy racist scumbag JD Vance: “If we're trying to find a sex offender, tell us where the guy lives.”

He lives in the bulldozed White House and crime hub Mar-a-Lago. If you need more of a hint, he’s your fucking criminal boss.

Has Trump blinked and dropped his backside, again?

Trump has proven that our reliance militarily and economically on the U.S. will no longer suffice. Europe needs to unhook itself and find its confidence again. Donald Tusk has nailed it.

Do not be mistaken. Trump supported this arrangement and is now getting the useful idiots in the UK to attack our PM for siding with the rules based system.

Nigel Farage is shilling for a foreign power and attacking our democracy on their behalf.

He, and all who kowtow before him, are liars.

Starmer has nothing to lose and a powerful argument to make.

We can't stand plead with orange-faced bully in the White House, bullies always turn on their closest allies eventually.

Let Trump ruin the USA's standing, and re-join the EU.

Trump says eight European countries face 10% tariff for opposing US control of Greenland – Europe live

The UK should never have given the vile, fascistic despot that is Donald Trump a second state visit.

The UK rightly defends Denmark and Greenland's sovereignty and Trump puts a 10% tariff on us.

You cannot placate a bully.

I can't wait to see his little face when I give him my 100m Swim certificate.

They way they ask us to ignore the evidence of our own eyes.

They reveal themselves as fascists piece-by-piece.

'What's your opinion?'

'I think...'

'Uh-ugh, that's bias!'

You asked for his opinion, you cretin.

I am somewhat looking forward to the inevitable clash of ego between this small group of Reform MPs.

Kemi Badenoch isn't great. Still stiff and has no credibility.

By getting rid of Jenrick, I'm struggling think of anyone who could be her successor.

In which case, the Tories' problem isn't necessarily Reform alone, but their lack of any fresh political talent.

Can anyone think of someone?

The mental gymnastics I've had to perform listening to Jenrick torch his party as if he had no role at all in the 'breaking of Britain' was exhausting.

This talk of National Security is ridiculous. The U.S. could increase military personnel there if they want. Trump doesn't even know who the Greenlandic PM is. This is a obvious attempt to drain Greenland of its resources, not one to save Greenlanders.

Breaking news: Today’s meeting about Greenland between U.S. and Danish officials ended in a standstill.

“We didn’t manage to change the American position,” said Lars Lokke Rasmussen, the top Danish diplomat.

This Labour government isn't all doom and gloom but they have a communication problem which isn't helped by constantly U-turning.

2026 Film/TV Thread:

🎞 Avatar: Fire & Ash

Visually stunning, but the story is kinda recycled from the previous two. I don't know what more JC has to say with these films. Interesting expansion of the players on Pandora and Eywa as a deity of nature, though.

3.5 🌟 / 5

I thought that the whole point of ReformUK was that they weren't the Tories?

They'll be more Tories in Reform than in the Tory Party come 2029!

I have opened my Midland Bank account.
