Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

What a traitorous piece of shit Farage is…

(Sunday Times)
Farageto raise Lucy Connolly case in US Harry Yorke Deputy Political Editor Nigel Farage will tell senior allies of President Trump this week that the imprisonment of Lucy Connolly over a tweet during the Southport riots is a "clear example" of the UK backsliding on free speech, and accuse Sir Keir Starmer of jeopar-dising trade relations with the US. The Reform UK leader will give evidence to the House judiciary committee in Washington as part of a hearing on the effect that UK and European online safety laws are having on American citizens and tech companies. Farage has been invited by the committee chairman, Jim Jordan, a Republican congressman, and intends to use the hearing on Wednesday to attack Starmer's handling of the issue. Trump threatened last week to impose more tariffs on countries that do not remove digital regulations that he deems to be discriminatory against American tech products and companies. Jordan, along with other Trump allies on the committee, recently led a delegation to Brussels and London to examine how "aggres-sive European speech regulations affect American free speech rights.” Connolly, a former child- minder, was jailed last year after pleading guilty to inciting racial hatred by publishing and distributing "threatening or abusive" written material on X. She wrote the post, which called for asylum hotels to be set on fire, as tensions rose after the Southport attack. Her case has become a lightning rod for the British and American right. Farage said: "I think it's a very clear example of what has gone Continued on page 7→

The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

Britain's longstanding traditions of tolerance and compassion are being suppressed in favour of a media-driven campaign of anti-migrant hate

What an utterly dreadful game of football #UELfinal. Two appallingly bad teams. Is this what £850m buys you? @ManUtd just lumping hopeful crosses into the box all game. Amorin only seems to have one way of playing, and it's not working. Not a single player has improved on his watch.

Blimey. One of Nigel Farage's biggest donors, and the owner of 55 Tufton Street, is helping the Russian military effort www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/w...
One of the biggest corporate donors to the populist Reform U.K. party has sold almost $2 million worth of transmitters, cockpit equipment, antennas and other sensitive technology to a major supplier of Moscow’s blacklisted state weapons agency, documents show. From 2023 to 2024, the company, part of the British aerospace manufacturer H.R. Smith Group, shipped the equipment to an Indian firm that is the biggest trading partner of the Russian arms agency, Rosoboronexport. H.R. Smith Group donated 100,000 pounds (just under $130,000) to Reform U.K. last year, two days after Nigel Farage was announced as the party’s leader. The company is run by Richard Smith, a businessman who owns 55 Tufton Street, a Westminster townhouse that is home to some of Britain’s most influential right-wing lobbying and research groups.

Remember when Trump repeatedly and vociferously demanded that Hillary be jailed for conducting official government business via unsecured platforms?
I'm sure he will follow his own advice on this one...

Without a doubt, one of the wildest stories ever. A little over a week ago, the national-security adviser inadvertently added @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social to a group chat with the VP and others to plan an attack on the Houthis.

I still think, one day, I'll wake up and find that this whole "Donald J. Trump" persona has been a brilliantly pitched elaborate hoax and the comedian behind it will win endless awards.

“The so-called Bishop”

If Trump weren't such a thin-skinned crybaby, he would ignore what the Bishop said and move on, but he can’t help himself.

Our so-called president is a national embarrassment

Had been looking forward to seeing the new #Nosferatu movie, but... disappointing. Which is shame, as I normally like Robert Eggers movies but this one fails to spark, sadly. Too long with little happening, overplayed black & shadow tones, all in just too much focus on style over substance.
