The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

Has that slug Nigel Farage commented on his friend Trump’s scandalous comments about NATO’s contribution to the war in Afghanistan yet? We’ll wait…

I love a football World Cup. Loved it ever since watching my first one, Mexico ‘86. I should be looking forward to this one.

I’m going to have to boycott it though, since watching it would be like watching the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

Fuck that little toad, Infantino. And fuck Trump.

No shit Sherlock. That’s part of the plan…

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Savagery has always existed far closer to the surface in the USA than the vast majority of other countries, both ‘developed’ and ‘underdeveloped’.

That a great many Americans would see this statement as a compliment is a big part of the problem.

Last year JD Vance lectured Europe that we weren’t allowing free speech like the good ‘ol USA.

This year JD Vance is defending the slaughter of a young mum for saying ‘I’m not mad at you’.

I think I’ll stick with European free speech, thanks.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis.

Just imagine, my fellow non-Americans:

a mum was summarily slaughtered in her car after school drop-off by a governmental paramilitary organisation while she tried to perform a simple three-point turn on a quiet suburban street trying to escape from said paramilitary organisation…

Why does this Epstein-Lacky think that anyone in Europe gives a shit what he thinks? Why can’t he slink off into obscurity where he belongs?

Btw, the big story overhanging all of this is that US government is deadly serious in its stated plans to dominate and control the western hemisphere. Take the threats against Greenland very seriously indeed.

Have just remembered what Trump’s model of his new ballroom reminded me of: Hitler’s plans for Berlin. Same ridiculous, outsized neoclassicism. If only he had the wit to see the parallels.

TL;DR: Russia has decided that the UK is Russia's enemy, and there's nothing we can do to change that as long as Putin is in power. The choice is whether to be an undefeated enemy or a defeated one. That's all the choice we get.
