I believe it’s called an organ recital.

Hope you’re right. From here, democracy in the USA looks in big trouble.

You think that’ll stop him? I mean, there’s no provision for the President to start a war. Or to do so many of the things he’s done. He’s basically a Mafia boss who can do what he likes because the people who could stop him are so tied in to what he’s created.

Once upon a time he was their ‘monster of delusion’…

Now we’re back here again and the right‑wing press are on his side.

These papers are a disgrace.

Oh, be fair. It was a Trump brand baseball cap and you can’t blame the poor chap for trying to find a way to make a fast buck out of the deaths of fellow citizens who died because of his crass, stupid, unnecessary, vainglorious, illegal, immoral, vile war.

You might think so, but Hegseth has a Deus Vult tattoo and, bearing in mind that God is on his side, it’s impossible for Hegseth to do wrong. One upmanship over Trump, who can only manage “He who saves his country breaks no laws.”

Oh be fair. You can’t expect a man who’s never read a book to know any history.

He’s probably desperate for Iran to do something that will give him an excuse to delay or cancel the mid-terms.

Badenoch and Farage seem to want to return to the days of Blair, when if the USA said “Jump” the only acceptable response was to ask “How high?” Starmer, on the other had, will act only in the interests of the UK and not as some sort of puppet controlled by the mad man over the water.

Starmer’s position is entirely consistent with what he wrote about Iraq in 2003, a fact of enormous inconvenience to just about everybody currently criticising it. Happily for them, just like the entire bloody Chilcot Inquiry it is apparently very easy to ignore.

Hard to imagine a more disgusting sight.

Reform trying to buy power. But for whose benefit? Is their leader currently in Clacton looking after the interests of his constituents? Nope. He’s been dining with Trump at Mar a Lago in the interests of billionaires everywhere.

I reckon that’s a pleasure that #lufc won’t be having - but Spurs seem to be quite keen on it for themselves.

Christo-fascist “Crusader”. It is obscene that he is so aroused and joyful about this war the US and Israel started. He disgusts me

Psycho Hegseth’s unashamed bloodlust is seriously weird.

There is literally no limit to how much damage Trump could inflict on the global economy. He is driven by motives that are completely disconnected from the wellbeing of his own country, let alone the rest of the world. If he thinks it will help in November, he will bankrupt us all.

It’s the opposite of imposter syndrome.

Does anybody know what Trump means when he demands Iran’s “unconditional surrender”? Does Trump himself know? Maybe he wants them to come out with their hands up, waving a white flag. He must’ve been watching a movie.

Where is Farage? Sucking up to the war-monger of Mar a Lago, apparently, all (of course) in the interests of the people of Clacton.

Both twins to secondary modern that offered inferior opportunities because of superior resources going to grammar schools in the area? Separate the twins with one regarding themselves as a failure? Bad enough having one twin that ”failed” and one that “passed.”

There was a set of twins at the primary school our children went to in a part of Kent that still had grammar schools. One twin passed the 11-plus but the other didn’t. Dreadful dilemma for their parents, especially as “going down the fee-paying route” wasn’t an option for them.

The combination of AI with no quality control over data entry and an airforce so famous this 85 years for a “Shoot first, what’s a question?” targeting policy that it was a Simpsons gag 30 years ago strikes me as something so self-evidently a disaster waiting to happen I’m amazed it took this long.

DOJ releases missing Epstein files related to a woman who made an allegation against Trump The Justice Department indicated that the documents were not previously released because they had been "incorrectly coded as duplicative."

Always best to wait until you’ve started a war before allowing the DoJ to realise it “made a mistake” when not releasing info from the Espstein files. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Lines from songs that are hard to understand if under a certain age.

“Switchboard Susan, can we be friends
After 6 and at weekends?”

New grammar schools set to return if Farage becomes PM The creation of new selective schools was outlawed by New Labour in 1998

Crushingly predictable. Utterly unjustified by decades of research. A shibboleth in place of a policy.

I think you’ll find Netanyahu controls Trump. The Trump mobsters have said they joined the war because they knew Netanyahu was going to do it anyway.

05.03.2026 15:52 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

Can’t help feeling that Netanyahu’s and Trump’s war has come at a really convenient time in the light of the former’s long-running corruption trial and the latter’s need to avoid (among numerous other things) proper Epstein disclosure and its consequences. Coincidence?

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

I suspect a lot of senior politicians in a lot of countries (including the UK) would agree with every word of that in private but are simply unable to say so publicly.
