St. George links us with Palestine, Albania, Syria and Tรผrkiye. He is revered by Muslim and Christian alike. The gammon just donโt know it. They are ignorant.

According to the grifters now running health policy, anyone who died just didnโt FREEDOM hard enough.
There are going to be so many asterisks in the lists.
The people who bleat about women priests conveniently ignore the fact that there is no scriptural warrant for an exclusive ordained ministry at all. And the ones who bleat about gay people? Well, they wear mixed fibres, so we can ignore them.
The press is only interested in immigration, trying to salvage the idea of Brexit from its obvious failure in practice.
They seem to think that Muslims are as horrified by the sight of bacon, as they are by the idea of a poor person getting healthcare.
Yeah, and we need him to hurry up and complete the family tradition.
Mine is simpler. Would-be feudal overlords seek to strip our rights, and to do so they enlist the support of those who want to deny that brown people are human.
Bigots think Muslims react to the sight of bacon like conservative-Christians react to the idea of a poor person getting healthcare.
He deserves a dignified retirement. Heโs nearly 80, he should have been sitting on his porch for a decade by now.
I am hugely in favor of comparing every case brought by the regime, to Jan 6. We should call it Babbitting.
What the actual fuck?
Let them go full SovCit. Fuck โem.
See? Thatโs where progressives are going wrong! Just stop being progressive and you, too, could wield power against the weak without shame.
He would be better off wresting control of policy from the Tories. Even Thatchler would think some of what heโs doing now is a bit much. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
I am very interested in these past toxic events. In most cases it was ignorance, occasionally gross negligence, and, rarely, it was deliberate. The astounding part right now is that almost every toxic event happening in the world is done deliberately and for profit.
Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.
Oi! Trump is NOT America's first dictator! Just the first since Mad King George.
Depressingly accurate.
True. I remember when the BBC was good. James Burke. Jonathan Miller. Proper Tomorrowโs World with the John Dankworth theme.
The wrong brother died.
The root cause of the โcrisisโ is him.
Cut off their goolies. Itโs the only language these people understand.
It's more that they want the Truthโข not the facts.
Statistically, 1% should be carried out by trans people, 51% by women. In reality it's 99% cis men.
My local Spoons shut down. Good.
According to RFK, freedom of choice means that he4 is free to choose whether ivermectin cures COVID or vaccines cause autism, regardless of tiresome reality.
If they want to get rid of grooming gangs, they are wasting their time protesting migrant hostels. They need to be laying siege to churches.
I think the most offensive thing about the current timeline is that society is being destroyed by people who are as thick as shit. Every tech park in India is crammed with US companies! India makes huge sums for the US economy.
Donald Trump trying to restore trust in COVID vaccines.
At least it gives us an opportunity to remind them that St. George was a Greek, born in modern-day Turkey, who moved to Palestine, and is revered by Muslims. The flag of St. George unites Britons with Muslims and Druze, and with people from Syria, Albania, Palestine, Ukraine and more!
The unwritten part of that being that he has no reason to rig the 2028 election because he won't be running.
I think we should send Farage back to France. Ideally back to a time in French history when Huguenots faced persecution.
We already have the data. The CDC is being ripped apart because he put a lunatic antivaxer in charge. RFK Jr. promotes Andrew Wakefield's fraudulent 1998 paper as if it were true. His agenda is to kill the vaccine industry entirely. He can do that simply by declaring autism to be a vaccine injury.
Britain wrote the Human Rights Act. Our feudal overlords want it gone because it gives individuals protection from corporations, something they cannot tolerate. To sell this agenda they rely on the support of people whose whole problem with the ECHR is that it defines brown people as humans.
Who could have predicted that a site called "truthwiki" was (a) not a wiki and (b) chock full of utter bullshit?
Why? Is he terrified of hearing a different language or something? Or is it just poor brown people he hates?
Oh well played!
Let me see, who is the primary victim harmed by cash bail? Black people, poor people, and especially poor Black people. Nobody could have predicted that Trump would try to bring it back.
If they had said nothing, it would have been way less suspicious. Anyone reading this will immediately get the impression that Giuliani was off his tits (again) and got into an altercation, tried to drive off, and got rear-ended driving at 12mph on the freeway.
You're welcome :-)
Translation: Modi thinks this whole dictator thing has a lot going for it.
Although it's also true that without Black and brown people - often first-generation immigrants - many elderly parents would have no carers. So: both! IMO we need more positive terminology to reinforce just how much we need folks who are prepared to do this work for such crap money.
It's laziness. They are outsourcing authentication security to your email provider, rather than building it themselves.
It weas written for him by the great economist Ron Vara.
If you want to experience just how enshittified Google search is by now, try black-holing googleadservices.com.
The National Guard are supposed to be the "well-regulated militia", under State control, that guard against a tyrannical Federal government. Instead they are being used as Federal shock troops to overrule civilian authorities who don't behave as a tyrannical President desires. SCOTUS should stop it.
@kyivpost.com just so you know, there is no conceivable "legitimate interest" in cross-site tracking, advertising and the rest. I read your content only in Incognito mode because of this abusive cookie policy.
Which rights, specifically, do they wish to remove, and from whom? If they won't answer that, we are entitled to form our own view, and it will be "all of them" and "everyone except the obscenely wealthy".
Imperialists of a feather...
OK, but how long would it have taken if the train could do 200mph? And wouldnโt fast trains be a compelling proposition for journeys like Boston to NY or Philly? Most European countries have commuter rail speeds >100mph now.
Tragic. Anywayโฆ
Iโm not necessarily against itโฆ
Iโve read it. Itโs a load of bollocks. Iโll get my coat.
I had the last generation of pre-hybrid XC70, it was a fantastic car. I now have an XC60 and would trade in a heartbeat - this is my dream car!
St George, born in modern-day Tรผrkiye, is the patron saint of Palestine, has monasteries in Syria, Greece and Palestine, and is revered by Muslims, Druze and Christians. There canโt be any more appropriate symbol for solidarity with immigrants.
Itโs the latest iteration of โwhy your life being shit is not the fault of greedy billionaires, honestโ.
Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured in a car accident. I hope he gets the same expert medical care that he would wish for a disabled transgender immigrant.
It makes perfect sense. Their Truthโข is that COVID wasnโt serious, lockdowns were unnecessary, Big Science conspired to suppress ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, and COVID vaccines were part of the conspiracy. Experts are evil because their facts conflict with MAGA Truthโข.
Polish gun controls are stronger. And there are more guns than people in the US.
At least he wonโt need to look for a name for Leavitt. Ministry of Truth is right there.
This framing is common, but a lie. The COVID vaccine was initially hugely welcome - people would lie to get it. Itโs only later that contrarian grifters merged it with lockdowns, and sold the โgovernment hates freedomโ line. They hated experts because experts gave advice that undermined their grift.
One of the five pathogens that the CDC no longer tracks is yersinia. You may be familiar with yersinia from such hits as the Black Death and Bubonic Plague. Yes, really.
The Revolutionary officers were much taken with Andrรฉ, whom they considered a gentleman and a fine soldier. They still insisted he be hanged as a spy, though, not shot, as a soldier would have been.
Gorka grew up in the UK. The UK had exactly one school shooting, in 1996. Gun laws were tightened. There have been none since. The UK has fewer mass casualty shootings per year than the US has in an average week. We go whole years without a single one. IT'S THE GUNS.
We must not remain soylent. Oops, I mean silent.
He's not discrediting the scientific community, he's erecting excuses for doing the opposite of what they say. This is how ANTIVA works. It how all forms of quackery work, in fact, from homeopathy to chiropractic to acupuncture. "Don't listen to those experts, they are all paid by Big Science".
We had a lot of this in the UK during the Brexit bollocks - "stop listening tot he experts". Amazingly, the experts turned out to be right. Almost as if they know something about the subject. When experts all tell you that you're full of shit, it's wise to consider the possibility they may be right.
Pitching for a safe Reform seat.
So his plan is to cleanse Gaza of a certain ethnicity? I wonder if there's a term for that?
Iโm pretty sure there are encounters in Banksโ Culture novels that meet this definition.
When do you think someone will actually do something about Trumpโs blatantly illegal use of the Army?
Yeah, they can fuck off back to Angeln and Saxony.
This is why conservatives hate Tish James. She holds rich grifters to account.
So close. Crimea *IS* Ukraine.
Any time a politician tells you that leaving the ECHR will restore โfreedomโ, always ask them which human rights are removing what freedom, and from whom. Specifically. Make them say it.
Trump has it infor the entire reality-based community because he humiliated himself over COVID.
Trump hates vaccines because COVID made him look incompetent. Or rather, highlighted the fact that he is incompetent. It's rarely necessary to look further than petty personal grievance with Trump.
The idea of Rx meds being advertised direct to consumers is jaw-droppingly stupid.
You know they don't care about that. All they care about is appeasing the special interest groups to whom they are in thrall: Big Oil and Big Otry.
The endgame is feudalism. Youโll either be an overlord, or a serf, for whom every penny earned is speedily extracted by the overlord class. When you can no longer work, you die. Universal healthcare allows poor people to leave shitty jobs and implies poor (and especially Black) people have value.
Statistically, around 1% of mass shooters should be trans, and 51% female. In practice, virtually all are cis men, mostly far-right. As always, the right accuses their hate targets of the very thing of which they themselves are guilty.
It has to be trans people, or mental illness, or SSRIs, or one of those other things that every country has, because it canโt possibly be the guns that only the US has.
I once asked a friend who was the treasurer of a large investment bank and now the chief operating officer of a large hedge fund whether hedge funds are a net good for society. He told me that they benefit no one but the people that are running them. I think the same of conservative politicians.
Big if true.
For Republicans, loyalty is a one-way street.
Statistically, absolutely.
Reform want you to believe that your life is shit because of immigrants, not greedy billionaires. Their entire schtick is that the obvious worsening of everything in the UK since Brexit is because we are not being racist enough yet. Their policies serve greedy billionaires. Just like the Tories.
There were no small boats before 2017. Thatโs why we need to call them #BrexitBoats. They are a direct result of Brexit.
When the far-white talk about freedom of speech, they mean freedom from consequences. They will cheer on the jailing of climate protesters or supporters of Palestine, but scream blue murder if their latest self-serving bullshit is not treated as gospel and accorded the reach they think it deserves.
John Andrรฉ. Thereโs a monument on the site of his hanging, in Tappan, NY, and another in Westminster Abbey. A distant relative, as it happens.
We could easily test the hypothesis that heavy metal salts in vaccines cause autism, by removing them. Oh wait, we already did that, and it made no difference whatsoever.
Every developed country has mental illness. Every developed country has video games. Every developed country has trans people. Every developed country apart from the US has meaningful gun controls. Only the US has frequent mass shootings. Itโs the guns.
Who could possibly have predicted that the party who constantly complain about indoctrination in schools would engage in naked political indoctrination in schools? Every Republican accusation is a confession.
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. Oh wait, Edwin Fuelner? Yeah, fuck that guy.
The American right hates efficiency. Nobody profits from not wasting resources.
The Murdochracies all have the identical problem! White skin? Your ancestors were not from America, Canada, Britain or Australia. The best claim might be red haired Celts in the UK, but Angeln and Saxony are very much not in England!
Reading, England
