Now a Rogue State
What a puffed up ignoramus. So many Luddites in the USA, unbelievable
Definitely not Drumph, no way. completely wrong
But the Project 2025 team are still beavering away and causing evil & mayhem.
The issue appearing at the bottom of the list - Pollution and climate change - is rather gobsmacking since it concerns everybody’s’ future & pollution is a huge contributor to illness. But also reflects oligarch’s press lack of interest & understanding. They are only interested in power.
How can he be a LIFELONG “Tory supporter” if he is a former South African so must have grown up & spent part of his life there? Very odd
They seem more like rw evangelists than any sort of Labour wonks
Love this thread. There’s a serious undertone though - favourite dishes/recipes and their origins reflect a complex history of colonialism and migration
You are referring to “cheese” in a can I think? That pale orange gooey stuff?
Did any sharp journalists ask him what is “the scientific method”? Thought not, he wouldn’t know
Encourage people to bring that Keir Starmer declaration as a poster to EVERY SINGLE public speech he makes. I can only think that he has terrible advisors but he has stepped into the sewage himself.
“no one left to keep you informed..” is surely the objective not so?
Gorka has his own fantasies, I mean ‘stats’
Very apt!
That’s an important point. Very many of the world’s biggest cities are pretty much on the current waterline. London, New York, Dhaka for instance. They WILL drown with sealevel rise. Not to mention that all today’s popular crops dependent on current climate regime
“Raised concerns…” is putting is far too mildly.
It’s fascinating and awesome doing one’s own family’s ancestral tracking. More required
Great article by Pam Jarvis, reminding us that we are all descended from immigrants. I’ve always sniggered at those who claim to be “pure” Anglo-Saxon Brits but, as she points out, what is sorely needed is better education on who we really are yorkshirebylines.co.uk/society/immi...
What planet is this Murray chap on? What a weedy, weakly, useless person.
He has friends?! That’s the real weirdness
However the moral deficit is much more consequential
Suggests he is interested in the topic of ‘comfort women’
Gorgeous, Deco?
And why they should always be properly and legally identifiable as officers
It would be useful to explain that further, in terms of proportion of population affected
We’ll wait……
He is right of course. I can’t believe that the world (or at least part of it) is only waking up NOW.
That’s more like it John Harris/Guardian, for calling out the rank, cheap prejudice. Let’s have less of the paralysing ‘both-sides’ and more of this straight truth-telling
Why is she talking to USA officials? Is she looking for “asylum” in the US (in which case, Byee) or is it about pushing them to interfere in the British judicial system?
A wider problem is the entrenchment of these wealthy interest groups in US politics. The parties are so beholden to them they can never respond to actual voters. That’s not democracy, it’s a terrible system
Well spotted, noticed that too. Somehow it’s now absolutely fine to MAGA’ to mask up constantly if it’s about hiding your face to avoid being recognised, & to look fierce
Not just racism. It’s about power
It’s really not surprising, was bound to happen. ‘Four eyes’ must take note and make alternative plans, quickly
In their scramble to draw attention and scary big headlines, many MS media have become contributors to a rush to spreading right-wing fascism and hate. Why don’t they see where this goes. Look across the pond for a start
Morning Mary
Well that’s a surprise, who would have thunk?
This one is scarily right on the button
Sigh, it’s just endless
Roberts has thoroughly disgraced his profession but most importantly, the high office entrusted to him.
Is this real? Horrible way to die if so
Never ever heard of “Prager University”. Sounds very odd. Is it real, does it even have students, where is it?
And it’s not just general political gain, in Fartage’s case it’s for personal gain
She is reclining, isn’t that enough?
Wow, that’s a spare tyre fit for a truck
But those “stupid 90 year old hippies” remember a lot about Nazi’s and they recognise them immediately.
It’s even worse, he is utterly awful. But his rise to the dictator status has called attention to all the long term bullying tendencies of USA, & gross over-reaches, even while mourning the obliteration of the good parts
“Some suspect”…how weedy weakly is that? At least Guardian should go for “many people are saying…” Cos they are
Those soldiers serving in IDF need to feel the heat. Be identified. It’s unconscionable that foreign soldiers actively serving in the IDF, helping to carry out obvious war crimes. Their passports id where they went, arrest them when they go back to their safe home countries. Not just Australia
Putin’s Patsy
What, he EATS dogs!
Yes. Trump only responds to power
He could have stopped at “you can’t have an honest election”. That’s the way both like it
MSM can’t seem to stop themselves - they are either very dumb or in cahoots. Or maybe both
‘Tis indeed I am sheltering guiltily under the air con
What a surprise - rich men don’t get rich by paying their dues. Musk is a terrible leech
Deeply unsatisfactory. This is what’s so egregious- IPSO are classifying outright targeted lies as a “mistake”. It is NOT, it was deliberate. Ridiculous to play ‘Mr Nice Guy’ with determined RW papers, like bringing a light wrist-tap to a gunfight
Top trolling!
She won’t know anything in that case, so sock it to her!
What a wonderful joyous idea!
Makes sense to me across the pond open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
Agree but what about Participation? We need a large chunk of the population to take part, actively, and not just when it affects them personally and directly
Ps followed you esp for the Carl Sagan quotation
Shows you how quickly such scandals become buried and forgotten - the news cycle moves on immediately. Still the stench lingers on
The sharper the better. So sick of this widespread practice by some of calling refugees “illegal”
They’ve noticed what? Trump’s huge extortions have zero, zilch, nada to do with ‘combatting anti-semitism’ and everything to do with (1) extortion, (2) exerting authoritarian power. It’s getting worse, something those who folded earlier should have foreseen
He just doesn't get it, does he? You can't beat populists by copying their narrative and thinking you can do it better. You beat them by creating an alternative narrative that appeals to people's hopes, intellects, and feelings of shared humanity.
Not the fact that 1000’s of Latino’s are being scapegoated, rounded up and disappeared?!
It’s been a big puzzle. But if so why are they just meekly accepting of all this nonsense? They are Cabinet ministers, the people who (are supposed to) LEAD whole areas of Gov policy and execution. Frankly some Tories had more decency when a whole lot of them resigned over Boris’ idiocy
Who needs facts, after all?
Don’t forget the assault on cultural institutions
Bet Trump has never set foot in the Smithsonian probably barely heard of it. It’s one of the crown jewels of DC and the nation. This is pure Nazi shit from ‘Project 2025’ team. Does the Federal Gov really have power to interfere with it as an independent institution?
“Trump’s historical vision” is the most dystopian part of the headline (other than the authoritarianism of course)
Yes, can’t help noticing that trick
“He has lamented “politicization.” These guys ALWAYS project, it’s their disinformation modus vivendi
Mind you, dealing with fascists can’t be a bad thing….
“Is Britain’s net-zero push to blame for its high energy prices?” Should get a prize for a ridiculous headline. Media do a lot of damage like this, & this one is particularly egregious
Ooh, very interesting & welldone ! Some kind of distillation effect? (I confess I haven’t read it yet so maybe that’s a dumb question…
😏
Very appropriate given her modus operandi aca cheating and stealing
‘Flawed’ is putting it mildly
Wonder what changed his mind? Some reflection after the debate, an attack of conscience?
The whole thing is a money-making scheme. I personally know of several cases and the amt extorted are horrendous. Would advise Chris and his wife to go live in Italy
Why indeed? We need to change the power balance
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
An utterly devastated, bombed to smithereens landscape 😢. And only now are western Gov’s waking up to the scale of disaster. Mind you they haven’t got round to admitting to their complicity, that will take more time and only when forced
Bild Nummer 4 bekommt meine Stimme
Not holding my breath
But they ARE vigilantes
Does Orban realise that if Putin gets it was Hungary will be a buffer state? It was after all part of the Soviet Union for decades and in the same category for restoring the old Soviet “glory”.
Trump is a disgusting excuse of a man. There is a long term pattern here. He feels entitled to treat women as objects to be used. I wonder whether many of the male MAGA followers admire this behaviour, it feeds their own inadequacies?
Keep it going 🗽🇺🇸⚖️🇺🇦🇨🇦💙🩷🍀
The catastrophe that is the privatised water companies is in everyone’s faces right now. Remind people constantly that his privatisation wet dream has already demonstrably failed.
Weird, what is she on?
This is terrible, reflects badly on someone one would expect to see upholding high standards
Next up - the Chemtrails files
Press uses weasel words. If reporting on anybody else’s words they would say “claims Farage”, not “says”
It’s the hottest because it’s burning 🥵
Birds of a feather ?
Operation “Protect President Pedo” Or PPP for short…
That’s catastrophic, an unwelcome reminder about what the powers-that-be value - or rather, don’t
