The Ukrainians (sadly) have the experience and we Brits have an amazing track record for inventions over the centuries. Lets stop relying on the US tech bros.

Boris Johnson was the one who made us a laughing stock and then he made himself a piffling irrelevance. Warms my heart how very badly he’s coping with that.

Not just Americans. It's affecting ALL of us around the world.
I know you didn't all vote for him, but too many of you did. As for those that still support him, there isn't a big enough rocket aiming for Mars πŸš€

At least the US produces it's own. The price might go up, but you won't run out.
Meanwhile in the UK .....

Trump thinks he can end the war he started with all-caps tweets.

He has no plan.

This amount is double what anon MoC were saying 2 days ago. And Trump is escalating.

β€˜In 2023, Starmer said β€œif you don’t like the changes we have made … you can leave”, and it’s fair to say people have really taken him up on the offer.’

"I knew Putin very well. I got
along with him great. He liked me. I liked him. I mean, you know, he's a tough cookie, got a lot of great charm, and a lot of pride. But the way he loves his country, you know? He loves his country. He's acting a little differently now."

Hegseth asked about Russia helping Iran to target Americans:

"We're not concerned about that... The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live."

A grotesquely indiscriminate threat against the entire Iranian population.

These people are fucking dimwits and they embarrass us as a species.

Is Iceland getting ready to join the EU? A new change in Iceland’s government means that joining the EU is back on the cards for Iceland.

"One thing that few people (at least in the UK) have considered is what Iceland joining the EU would mean for EFTA (4 members) and the EEA agreement (3 EFTA members)."

*Everything* you need to know about Iceland's upcoming referendum on EU membership. πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

Leather-tanned hide plus grey snaggle-toothed smoker's grin.
I can tell exactly what he smells like through an image.
Old tobacco smoke, new tobacco smoke, ash, damp dog, halitosis, and far too much aftershave not even close to masking any of the repulsive odours.

BlackRock limits withdrawals as redemptions rattle private credit fund BlackRock said on Friday it has put limits on withdrawals from a flagship private credit fund after a surge in ​redemption requests, amid rising investor worries over the once red-hot asset β€Œclass.

Are we nearly there yet?

Constantine on the eve of battle in 312 - as a sign appears in the sky. His biographer said that Jesus visited Constantine in a dream that night, telling him to carry a cross into battle to ensure victory and further his imperial ambitions.
And still it goes on…

The Trump administration is doing more harm to America in months than the Iranian regime has managed to achieve in decades. Destroying the country’s standing at home and abroad.

'There is a solution to this madness. You're going to love it' From tyrants to paedophiles via royalty and corporate greed, this rock is on fire and we can't get off. Only an outbreak of highly-infectious common sense can save us now

Once a year, we ritually slaughter the richest person on Earth. I've thought about it, and there is no downside. Who's with me?

They'd better be paying for this. Surely they've got enough money to fund their own defence.

Isn't this unauthorised diplomacy, which is a crime?

It's almost like billionaire agents of discord and hate have created a narrative that is starkly at odd with the reality of life in Britain isn't it.

A bunch of puerile frat boys, getting off on killing people. I do not have the vocabulary to express my disgust for this.

Absolutely. He has no fuckin right to be discussing anything with the US President unless it's about Clacton. Starmer should be stepping in, but he won't.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
