The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

Why are the 2nd Amendment blowhards not stepping up and drawing weapons on unidentified individuals kidnapping people in the States?
From across the pond, I thought this was why they needed the guns to stop the government falling out of check?
Or is it ok if the government is targeting brown folk?

I know it's meltingly hot, but when in Bali I found Nasi Goreng and chilli sauce went down well.
Same as tonight.

Saw @cmdr-hadfield.bsky.social this evening in Bath. A great talk on earth, space and the cosmos and political commentary demonstrating his dismay on some subjects. Humorous, informative and thought provoking.
And the man can play and sing Bowie really well!

From across the pond I am wondering why all these 2nd ammendment advocates aren't stepping up to confront a government put of control with their military grade weapons.
Maybe they just want guns for other reasons and are as rancid as those in power?

If I were able to deliver a message to either of these guys, my message would be this:
"You're going to let that other guy treat you like this? Make a public fool of you? After all you did for him? I thought you were a big shot. Act like a man!"
That's should settle things down.

Coverage of idiots claiming ‘betrayal’ or ‘surrender’ isn’t just bad journalism, it’s a dereliction of our duty to explain things. I’d actually forgotten just how bad it got but here we are, straight back to treating liars & spivs like authorities of equal weight to experts & honest brokers.

All that money, large amounts of adulation from people who can't (or choose not to) see his flaws, the power of a second term as US President, but still a shallow and bitter individual.
Eaten alive by the lack of praise from individuals who spoke well of Obama and Biden (to a lesser degree).

As much as I detest this loathsome lying bawbag, I detest the press who publish his latest untruths to further his personal gain to the detriment of the rest of us as much, if not more.
Shits, the lot of them.

Important read. This is how support is garnered for dreadful decisions. Whilst the US seems lost to it, it's active here as well. People need to understand this and shout about it.

The GOP isn’t just lying—they’re executing a disinfo strategy. It’s designed to flood media with outrage, drown the truth, & make public doubt what’s real. Until we start naming the tactic—not just correcting the lie—we’ll keep losing ground.

Laurence Fox is having a meltdown on the other place at being prosecuted for breaking the law.
Turns out he's being charged for trying to save the country from foreigners causing murder, grooming, rape, gender ideology (delete as appropriate).
Not for being a wrong-un publishing an up-skirt pic. 🙄

America under Trump can't be relied on as an ally. No matter what the challenges, the UK should make adjustments to its future lomg term security and trading partnerships imminently
Doubtless there will be uncomfortable consequences, but long term, this is the only way forward.
We need trust.

Seems the new standard for being called a traitor in this Age of American Misrule is to fly more than three dozen combat missions in Iraq for the U.S. Navy, then command the Space Shuttle as a U.S. Astronaut, then serve in the U.S. Senate, and remember that Russia attacked its neighbor, Ukraine.

Explain to me why so many Americans pay attention to what Elon has to say?
Here he is calling a former NASA astronaut and current serving senator a traitor.
What a piece of shit.

If DOGE had uncovered fraud why aren't there any charges and prosecutions being announced? Surely that would reassure the public that it wasn't just vindictive incompetence breaking everything?

Seems to me that if you work in America and balls up your work, you could just tell your employer you're playing 4D chess and you'll get a pass.
Just like Trump seems to be getting from so many people.
