This is sad to see but not new.
Yes, it's bad voting because the world of instant news and five second social media bites has been hijacked to flood the zone and brain wash populations. The stupid and conspiracy nuts, that used to be 10%, have grown to 50% as a result.
If Labour does not make serious changes to their EU platform, and I don't think they will, the door is wide open for Reform. Question is, how will they govern successfully with the UK economy in tatters? I only see further decline.
I believe I may well be interacting with the next president. Thank you Governor.
Robots falling over is the best.
I believe that the subpoena has been withdrawn.
Not a fan of BYD, but hate anything Musk even more.
Lol
I am simultaneously shocked and not surprised that so many people did not see the failure that Brexit would be. Right wing propaganda not withstanding, the evidence was there for all to see. I believe that anti EU sentiment was years in the making by government(s) that feared ceding powers.
Never, is the simple answer.
It's pandering to an audience of one.
Hotez is a warrior!!
RFK jr doesn't care about senate hearings. He constantly obfuscates, misdirects and finds an alternative to obvious statements that he has made. Senate just says "oh, ok" and moves on. It's pathetic.
Remember when it was Trump who pushed vaccine through "warp speed". He doesn't care. It's performative now, it was performative then.
Loved Redbone back in the day.
If putting out new music is her job, her chosen profession, then it can't be a cash grab. It's business.
I don't think Dr Kidd is referring to citizenship. It's more to do with residency for minors who turn 18. Something that could have been hammered out in the withdrawal agreement, because it can affect UK citizens in EU as well as EU citizens in UK.
Stuart is correct. In Portugal I am resident. 90/180 is for any other EU country. As I said, Brexit did that.
The problem Dr. Kidd raises is not an EU issue. It's a problem with the withdrawal agreement. It might have been addressed if the UK side had realised that the separation agreement was in fact far more complex than they were prepared to negotiate. The talk of "hard Brexit" comes to mind.
He will not listen to public opinion, he can't afford to. Netanyahu será himself as a war time leader, trying to avoid prison. He will jump from one conflict to the next. If the judiciary gives him absolute immunity for all past crimes then he might stop.
I don't smuggly wish to deny anyone anything. In fact, just because I live in Portugal, I am still subject to 90/180 in any other EU country. Brexit did that.
Plenty of opinion out there that they are coming so Zelensky does not get ambushed by the White House. I think something more profound is going on. We will probably find out in a few weeks.
First hurricane of the Atlantic season just catapulted from a category 1 to a 5 in just a few hours. Going to be a busy season.
Gavin Newsom just rocks.
Trump probably going to release Epstein files to distract from Putin debacle.
Boom... Everyone should do the same.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "It's the rule of Don, no longer the rule of law. And people need to understand the lines that are being redrawn in Texas are not about party. They're about power. And you've got to meet fire with fire and power needs to be asserted in blue states, not just red states."
They want to get cancelled so they can put it online independently. Go South Park. I'm sure they are 'so sorry'.
I want Newsom to start asking for a Nobel peace prize.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "I think he should start with Shreveport, Louisiana, and Speaker Johnson's district that has 6x the per capita murder rate of Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco. What about the carnage, Mr. President, in Shreveport? Why aren't you protecting the folks there? What bullshit."
Is Stephen Colbert writing for Newsom? They are very good.
Portugal did the same regarding solar panels.
Superb.
It's not up to the EU to encourage UK to rejoin. It's up to UK to want it. From a membership standpoint, the EU has moved on.
Another step to align with EU.
This is not news. It's gone on for years. The collection business model has always been coercive.
The Voyagers will be the last remnants that human life ever existed on this planet. We are led by selfish, greedy humans, who will ultimately accelerate our demise.
I agree whole heartedly with Steve Wood. Could not have said it better.
That must have been the chart he held up with "all new numbers".
Congratulations.
Repubs are gonna try and get a representative for every 10 voters. But scream and stamp feet if Dems try it. It's all utter nonsense and would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous to democracy.
My condo association requires a quorum to make decisions affecting the building. If you don't appear you don't get your apartment foreclosed.
I think it's to follow those who make the most noise and say the most inflammatory words. Farage comes to mind.
Referendums, for the most part, are an abdication of the responsibilities of government. People who got elected to do the hard work and have access to the real data. Instead they base a decision on what is fundamentally a national polling question.
Reform the UK membership or begin a staged review of exit, understanding the reality of each step. Brexit itself was entirely a political decision encouraged by greedy, power centered individuals. (end)
This is fundamentally true. The public were asked to vote in an advisory referendum on whether there was a national desire to continue in the EU or leave. With a whisker above 50%, the leave vote should, at best, have informed the government to enter into a discussion strategy with EU. (cont)
He won't run again, for several reasons. What he is doing now is pissing on past presidents by paving the rose garden. The ballroom is a legacy thing. He wants his mark left for all to see.
It's not a charge, it's a bond, a deposit that is charged if you overstay the visa. It also only affects visa applicants from designated countries. Do I agree? Absolutely not. It's fundamentally racist.
They have all been failing for months.
I wonder if he understands how percentages work?
If he builds his golden ballroom, how soon can it be torn down? Indeed, let’s remember many of these heinous acts can be overturned. None of this despicable demolition of our government and values is unchangeable. But it requires ending his lawless regime & returning power to responsible leaders.
Times ten.
That's quite a large "ballroom". Is it quite necessary?
He loves gawdy gold plated palaces because he wants to be a king.
UK tried twice to join the EU but got vetoed by DeGaulle. He knew that UK was not interested in the EU ideals. UK became a member, he was proved right. UK has never embraced the ideals, just trade benefits. Until the UK rids itself of UK colonialism it will always be one foot in and one foot out.
Trust Wired. CBS is a sell out.
Absolutely, and I believe even ECJ and ECtHR rule at member state level, not personal level.
Movie quality resolution, amazing.
With that level of camera technology, why do you need an umpire to rule if the ball is in or out of play?
Another gross, ghoulishly timed Charlie Kirk comment
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "More and more evidence every single day, he's lost a step. This is not the same Trump 1.0. This is different. Something's off. Increasingly off. He's unmoored in ways even by Trump's standards I haven't seen."
How on earth is this supposed to be an indication of national sentiment when they contacted 1500 people. Polling is nonsense.
While trying to persuade politicians, Leave voters will be doing the same. It's a stalemate, and it's going to stay that way for a very very long time. I, like you, would rather Brexit never happened. It was a monumental betrayal. But it's done and it will be decades before we get back.
Is she crazy? Maybe she's going full Alex Jones.
And in 40 years or so a right wing Australian government will proclaim that the deal should never have been signed and they have to go. They need better protection than just permanent residence.
What rights are you standing up for?
Might be better to have no ads rather than propaganda.
I wonder if there are any references to that asshole T. Rump.
Look at you...All grown up 😆
Jelly for brains.
Reuters: "It is Britain's biggest trade deal since it left the European Union in 2020 but its impact will be a fraction of the effect of leaving the orbit of its closest trading partner". Depends on the size of the othe orchestra.
They know it's a job with an end date. They are trying to avoid accountability.
If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious. Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September
Who said we were friends?
Thank you.
If you don't get a choice, then you are subjected. Don't have any pearls, I'll borrow yours.
Thanks, oh, and while hoping the orchestra takes him back, keeps telling himself what a great solo career he has.
Thank you.
She appears to be BRICS sympathetic. Very much doubt there is any proofs behind the allegations. If Obama's team sues, like Macron has done, the will have problems is discovery and depositions.
A musician (UK) leaves the orchestra (EU) to make a solo career and goes busking. Realises that independence is nice but not earning any money. The public want him to play the orchestra tunes. He then wonders why he left. Starts playing the orchestra tunes hoping the orchestra will ask him back.
No, the real question is why are the audience subjected to such exposure. They, by definition, are the audience not the act. True, there was some advanced notice but insufficient for people already wrapped up in concert excitement.
She is either stupid, or stupid. Any protests in Ukraine at present are due to laws recently passed that, to the public, seem to remove autonomy from anti corruption agencies.
The 60's, 70's and 80's had small music companies that nurtured young talent. Small radio stations playing new music. This shrank from the 90's on as the internet grew. Now, young talent makes their name through YouTube or talent contests. But the break out from their to a record deal is tough.
Probably arrested for no permit. That said, the optics of such a large group of cops for a minor infraction does not look good. Further, you have to wonder if the same thing would have happened if the table was advertising Trump. I know what I think.
Look up music by Ren Gilles for a very personal account of this interplay of gut, immune and neurological interactions. In his case it would be years until the original cause was diagnosed, Lyme Disease.
Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...
Ukrainian drones have struck a military airfield in Millerovo, Rostov oblast. #explodey
Astonishing stupidity of these commentators. All you have to do is ask yourself who is suffering due to Brexit, the UK or EU? UK needs the EU market, so who holds the cards now?
It was supposed to be 90 days and they blew past that. Now it's 2 weeks, every 3rd week...
Unfortunately, I fear this is the beginning rather than the end. Every country that overthrows a dictator goes though turmoil. The result of years of oppression. Dictators don't build trust and partnerships, they build fear and dominance.
Probably a combination of procurement and blackmail, possibly direct and/or intelligence agency honey pots.
You might end up with a ticket to Japan via Brazil, when you wanted a trip to Germany. Then a week later someone drains your bank account.
True, a short sighted decision to drive a separate goal. I'm sure they think that they can bring back the programming after the merger. I doubt the viewers will forget.
NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Colbert tells studio audience CBS is canceling 'The Late Show,' to end in May 2026.
Paramount not reading the room. CBS bound to suffer because of this White House sycophant driven decision, regardless of their official comments.
Two things will be true when UK hits rock bottom. The public will demand better from government and possible realignment with EU. Reform will find an increasing audience for it's propaganda. The political imbalance will be stark. Who wins? Who knows?
@halsparks.com with so much Maga infighting you are going to need some new AI jingles.
Gotta use up the coffers.
Thank you.
