Part of the great exodus. My area is construction, but nobody really cares about that, so my contributions will mainly consist of wanting to engage & learn from everyone else, and I'll throw in some half informed quip's for good measure

You know part of you that sometimes thinks that bad things somehow need to happen so that people… ‘learn lessons’ and ‘never make the same stupid decisions again’: Ignore it. They will never learn. They will keep making stupid decisions.

When Australian broadcasters discussed the terms of the deal Boris Johnson ‘secured’ for the UK by contrast, they collapsed in fits of giggles. I will dig out the clip today.

The number of commentators/journalists salivating at blaming Starmer for ruining the “special relationship” is genuinely pathetic If anyone ruined it- if it even really exists- here’s a reminder of who did it.

Of course, it is unlawful. Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff. Of course, it is stupid. Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away. And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

A lot of racists in UK media & politics are currently limbering up to hold Donald Trump to an infinitely lower moral standard than they did Gary Lineker. Starting with Farage, inevitably…

Starmer didn't know he'd been a "very close associate" though! Mandelson lied & said he barely knew him when he was vetted. The DoJ E files last yr revealed emails that showed he lied. He was then sacked. The DoJ released more info last week revealing he shared govt docs in 2009.

This is one of the most damning videos I’ve ever watched of Farage. He essentially admits being racist at school - only says he didn’t do it “with intent”. The quiver in his voice at the end - he knows he can’t squirm out of this one.

Maybe a controversial view and would welcome @sturdyalex.bsky.social thoughts as one of the most thoughtful people I follow on sm Labour should lead the reform of the ECHR Reason: I feel that's the direction of travel anyway & better it done on labour terms rather than Tory, or worse, Reform terms

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Yields on U.S. Treasuries rose Wednesday as investors sold government bonds, usually a haven. In Britain, a sustained version of that trend in 2022 led to the downfall of Liz Truss, the country's shortest-serving prime minister.

It is obvious but worth repeating that regimes built on lies survive only as long as they can suppress truth. The promotion of complicit media (alternative facts) & denigration of objective media (facts) is not just desirable but essential. This process is being turbo-charged in the USA right now.
