Yep, including the UK too unfortunately.

I was just in the US for a couple of weeks and two people I know told me they have a friend or family member fired from the federal government. Plus my in-laws have members of their extended family who will be affected by the loss of TPS for Haitians. And my parents-in-law will be vulnerable to...

I think it also takes a certain amount of callousness and indifference to others. Leave aside everything about his obviously addled brain, minuscule vocabulary and inability to evoke or explain any remotely complex concept, there's so much cruelty and vindictiveness in Trump that one has to...

More than Trump specifically, people blame vaccine deniers and sceptics for the current spread of the disease, and we have plenty of those idiots in Europe too unfortunately.

One thing I find shortsighted* about the obsession of Trump et al with hobbling and/or leaving NATO, as well as weakening the UN and completely abolishing international law, is that the coming multi-polar world is precisely the kind of place where you want institutions and rules that stabilise...

These days if you say you're English you get arrested and thrown in jail

according to the original timetable of the ceasefire agreement, they should be moving on to phase 2 now. It's Israel that is refusing to do so, mainly because phase 2 involves starting to withdraw their troops from Gaza. Yes, Hamas could extend phase 1, but that doesn't change the fact the only...

not during the miners' strike

Neither the headline nor the first sentence of the article, directly underneath it, say that it was the cause

reshoot the scene with Bond on the table ("you expect me to talk?") except the laser is for a new experimental surgery

It's like the media coverage of street protests that zooms in on the one bellend who has an offensive placard, or the responses to a person on a forum who ineptly quotes (misunderstood) biblical language. Some of those who on one level are inclined to make excuses for Israel's extremely obvious...

I have very little interest in journalism (or commentary on forums) that frames the problem primarily through the attitudes of people on either or both sides. No, the problem is the violations of international law. Whether or not some people in the West Bank say offensive things to a journalist...

It could have been a lot worse to be honest. Especially pleased by the performance of Die Linke, especially in Berlin. They came a very narrow second to the Greens in my constituency. Also, British media describe them as "far left" but I think that's misleading. Ok it depends on what exactly...

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/feb/20/man-dies-manchester-airport-border-force-iopc A man died at Manchester Airport following his arrest. Curious to know how he "became unwell."

Interesting read about the Gazan family who were the subject of PMQs last week. It's clear that both Badenoch (surprise surprise), and that dickhead Starmer lied about the basis on which they were allowed to join their family member in the UK...

like I said, what cause was he doing it for? you must know, if it's so obvious

Are you talking about Southport? If so, what was the political or religious cause that lunatic was trying to advance with his 'terrorism'?

and our current side...

I'm not entirely sure which take you're saying is daft, but in my opinion what 'Flying Rodent' says is right: Starmer (and Badenoch too) are saying that whereas it's right to have a scheme to protect vulnerable people in one war zone (Ukraine), it's wrong to similarly protect vulnerable people...
