Depressingly you can almost hear the referendum slogans being written: "The ECHR makes us keep 350 million illegal immigrants each year. Let's give them to France instead."

And somehow one of the UK's most prestigious learned institutions continue to admit him as a fellow. Isn't that right @royalsociety.org?
And only someone who’s paid Charon would write “lo and behold”.
99% true. I did learn the phrase “in my cups” from Dumas, which delighted me. Otherwise, the dog version wins hands down.
No he didn’t. He was simply uninterested. He wanted RFK’s supporters to help him to the White House, so he promised RFK what he wanted. The rest was immaterial to him.
“Blessed” when “Boy, the randomness of the universe really is scary when you think about it” will suffice.
Chief Sec to the Treasury for the Liz Truss budget. How on earth is he still gainfully employed in politics.
Unlikely since you all seem keen on re-introducing 18th century child mortality rates.
Plenty of unused brains too.
And now we have folks like Rylan Clark, with his platform, effectively telling the population that it’s a choice between sheltering British homeless people or accepting asylum seekers.
Allow asylum applications from abroad.
No he doesn’t “just want it to end”. He only wants it to end in so far as it gets him a Nobel peace prize. That’s his only interest in the war ending.
Clearly the prayers aren’t working. But millions of Americans continue to suspend their disbelief and give credence to these lying authoritarian rabble rousers.
Yeah but Witkoff is an idiot. I'm certain as well that he thinks it's "noble" and not Nobel.
Cowards. They’re afraid of a negative Fox headline. Like Fox would ever give them a positive headline.
We’re not that far behind you in the UK.
Yeah, but, John Roberts.
Why’s that? It’s not like anyone is resisting or fighting back, which would lead to a rupture between competing ideologies.
One handy tip for those wishing to emerge from the wreckage: make sure your AI can do basic mathematics.
You have your votes do you? You’re in a democracy are you?
Love that euphemism. You always remember where you were when you “gave your life to Christ”.
If he’s at the bottom of a totem pole I’m pretty sure the evangelical lunatics won’t let him into the heaven he’s thinking of.
Have I got this right? Biden: here’s a book on how he was unfit to be President. Trump: here’s how he can win a Nobel prize and achieve greatness. Off their heads, the whole damn country.
It’s even more amazing that many Americans have heard of Berlin.
Cos they’ll get the Fox News version that will tell them how Trump has once again kept them, their guns and their bibles safe from rampaging homeless transgender gang members and everyone in Europe is saying how great he is.
How about showing some leadership and explaining to your constituents the real plight of the vast majority of asylum seekers, instead of jumping in the Farage bandwagon and agreeing they they’re all here for a jolly?
Google’s AI on how to reformat a Time Machine disk. Although maybe they just hate Apple users.
Particularly as those “liberals” live largely in his head and he’s projecting onto real people.
What come first though? Was it the fear of beans touching bacon, or was it the ramekins? I mean: did someone try to fancy up the presentation of the fry up with a ramekin, which evolved into a deep seated need to keep beans separate? I hate superfluous crockery (c.f. chips in metal buckets).
Isn’t this a repeat of the Ukraine/laptop scandal that lead to his first impeachment?
Grants? Scientific funding administration is different in each country or region. Money? Have you seen how much the average post-doc or professor earns compared to, say, an oil executive? Ideology? Impossible that so many all hold the exact same ideology.
Thousands of scientists around the globe? All sticking to the same lie without anyone giving the game away? To what purpose?
A theory isn’t a guess. It’s a framework of laws, mathematical descriptions and predictions, backed up by experiment and observation. It’s a job of science to constantly test a theory to see if it is still an accurate representation of nature. Sure looks like the climate scientists are right.
Just get the guy to walk into a room of CO2 and shut the door.
This right here is why humans will eventually die out.
“Or, perhaps, reflect on what it is about your behaviour” Yes, it’s always those on the side of science, facts and tolerance who have to examine and change their behaviour isn’t it.
Physician Associate Hook
He also brought us the needless austerity that crippled Britain: why I can only imagine because he hates people less wealthy than himself.
Ha! you think giving him the prize will make him shut up?
Occam’s Razor.
Really? Just eat out in 95% of Italian restaurants in the UK. Every night will be a bigger disappointment. Notable exceptions are bocce di lupo in London and carbonara in Chester.
I think the trick is also in getting the pasta water and pecorino at the right temperatures so they don’t congeal into a rubber blob.
I’m not sure why the Italians should be so excised now. The brits have been wallowing in badly cooked pseudo-Italian food for at least a generation. Just continue to use the uk as a dumping ground for overpriced inferior pasta and canned tomatoes.
Lobsters are better informed than the average American voter.
At least he’s still got his clothes on
6’4” and my maximum break in snooker, that came towards the end of a 2 hour session, has stood at 13 for 20 years now.
Aren’t there are women and children in the hotels they’re terrorising?
Would there really be a backlash? What form would it take? Another poll?
In much of Europe this sort of humour (satire) is essential in helping keep despots like trump away from power for as long as possible.
On a related note: in addition to electing tyrannical morons to lead them, the Americans don’t recognise the word “parp”.
Let Me Show You, Tall Paul Remix.
But they’ll still vote for him in 2028, cos the democrats lied about Biden’s health, or something.
The difference is though that Starmer could easily damage the interests of the UK, the EU, Ukraine and Gaza by standing up to that orange prick.
My base assumption is these unheard of companies that are, yet again, asking for my personal data, are incompetent. Berners-Lee I think is on to something with his Solid protocol.
I mean trust in companies to keep our personal data safe is in the floor. I wouldn’t trust that verification company with my photo or credit card.
If they got found out it would ruin their whole business.
Metric system, and our cheese doesn’t come in aerosol form. Plus we *couldn’t* care less.
Venus/mercury surface temps vs distance from the sun should be such a simple way of refuting climate change denial. A primary school lesson. But it’s probably ineffective against indoctrination.
For the last 20 odd years Facebook and then Twitter have basically been telling people how to vote.
To be quite honest I sigh and roll my eyes even when I hear the Yorkshires using the phrase. Like, calm down, it’s just plain old Yorkshire. Have you even been to North Wales?
That “National Landscape” has helped the UK on its way to becoming one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. It’s as much a production facility as Sizewell C will be when it provides us with low carbon electricity.
Thinking back to that popular US soap in the 1980s about J R Ewing, the wind farm baron.
That essay should have been scrunched up and thrown back at the author with your editor shouting “load of old cobblers mate”.
And probably mostly done in the Bronze Age.
Except Birmingham probably has more wildlife.
C.f. the rent clothes and beaten breasts over public school VAT.
The American middle class will surely revolt within weeks if they’re forced to get their cheese from an aerosol can and end the evenings with Jack “turpentine” Daniels.
If the mind is completely subservient to the MAGA cult, is it possible for it be crossed by independent thoughts?
Well it doesn’t matter does it. The claim goes unchallenged, and becomes fact in the minds of the ignorant multitudes that comprise the American public.
Presumably the intended candidate will get a tap on the head, stomach and both shoulders.
And let’s not forget the sheer, mind boggling, ignorance too.
And thanks to your media and low-informed electorate, those millions will blame it all on Biden being old and green climate measures.
I don’t have much hope. I’m assuming the 1906 government weren’t fixated with whatever Nigel Farage said and how it played in focus groups.
Trump is far, far worse. There’s no red line for Trump if “Bibi” is getting good Fox ratings.
He said without irony…
All 3547 of them isn’t it?
Air to air refuelling isn’t news though is it. How many drinks has he had already?
No mention of the pilots? Those patriots must feel terrible.
November 2026: “international seismic monitors detected an anomalous signal, believed to originate under the Karkas mountains near Natanz. Experts say it’s consistent with an underground nuclear explosion.”
What an idiot
Yes that’s right: 1 in 5 reactors never start up cos UF6 is so hard to move.
Imagine how pissed he’ll be a year from now when international seismic monitors detect a nuclear explosion under the Karkas mountains.
This wilful blindness and refusal to listen to his intelligence community is going to allow Iran to rebuild enrichment facilities and start a weapons programme for real this time.
At the top of that pile of condemnation and contempt for me though sit the posh, entitled twins of ineptitude: Cameron and Johnson.
No. But there shouldn’t be any surprise that the general US public knows nothing about the policy directions of international governments and how that might affect the US.
What proportion of the US general public could locate those countries on a map though?
Things is, they may be right. I don’t have much confidence that the Nobel committee won’t follow every US civic body and media outlet and debase themselves to appease Trump.
Presumably they’ll be aiming for more air time on Fox to goad Trump into more action.
For 6 months maybe, until that 60% HEU becomes 90% HEU.
I’m assuming that Prof. Hatfull is not an mis-information-spreading anti-science hate monger like one of your other fellows.
Why? What’s it telling us? According to the IEA, most recent figures: Denmark total power consumption 34TWh, main generation wind (57%) emissions 27Mt Portugal total 49TWh, main generation hydro (27%) wind (30%) emissions 36Mt UAE total 155TWh, main generation gas (81%) emissions 174 Mt
Hang on, hang on, that’s an unfair comparison: this time they have the president who can say “Person, woman, man, camera, TV”.
Well, a lot of the radioactive stuff in Yongbyon is because of nuclear weapons.
Hasn’t the bishop violated the sanctity of the cubicle by talking to the press about that lawyers sins?
Yeah but Biden didn’t need to win the Nobel peace prize to get even with Obama so didn’t need a narrative to win him the Nobel peace prize.
To be quite honest, strangers have had that response coming for a long time now, what with making their video calls and watching tik tok without headphones. It’s their own fault.
LEU *is* needed for a nuclear energy programme that is less amenable to proliferation. North Korea’s plutonium production reactor uses natural uranium.
