Almost like the Saudis despise him as much as everyone else.

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

Diplomatic niceties stipulate that would be impolite. However since there have been at least a dozen Russian assassination attempts against Zelenskyy I would say Putin's head was fair game.

TBH I'm surprised Trump's rating isn't higher in this poll. But I'm flat out astonished Putin's rating is so low. Putin is the reason for most of the other bad actors listed, including Trump.

The immediate details may be different, but the underlying cause is always the same: Rich people get addicted to wealth and start getting ever more greedy, sucking all the wealth out of the economy until it implodes, then they blame the peasants for not working hard enough.

Bob Bowles @bobjohnbowles.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

blaming a black man might make you feel better, but if you look almost all of the shysters in power for the entirety of the First Republic have been wealthy white and male. Go figure.

The Canadians are very friendly until you cross them. Put it this way, most of the articles in the Geneva Convention were inspired in the aftermath of things Canadians did to people who crossed them.

I think it is NATO that needs Ukraine to lead them to creating and maintaining the peace.

Ask your MP to join the growing rebellion against cuts to disability benefits. Write to your MP now: r.ippl.es/benefit-cuts...

Tell your MP: No disability benefit cuts

I’ve sent a message to my MP - it just takes three clicks. Will you?

There are bad apples in every barrel. And positions of power attract bad actors. But the barrel only goes bad if those supervising the barrel fail in their vigilance.

From your reply I see it is not only the police that need education. Where I live the main concern of the police is public safety and keeping the peace. They do not need guns except in rare extreme circumstances. It goes without saying I do not live in America.

020

Bob Bowles @bobjohnbowles.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Maybe where you live. In most advanced nations the police perform a public service. But that requires education and training, and also a public perception of them as public servants. I accept those criteria do not currently exist in America, but that does not mean they can't.

Bob Bowles @bobjohnbowles.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Actually I have, admittedly many years ago. I always found them courteous and friendly. Maybe they were just being Canucks, eh?

Bob Bowles @bobjohnbowles.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Your reply demonstrates a lack of understanding of a police force's function. Only totalitarian states use the police to routinely control the population through violence. And no, their purpose is not to bite, but to apprehend wrongdoers and TO KEEP THE PEACE.

Bob Bowles @bobjohnbowles.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

In France demonstrations are more kinetic and require a higher level of force to contain them. The main issue here is the culture and context. E.g., In UK the police are strongly rooted in public service and policing by consent of the people. Because of this, they largely do not need arms.

Bob Bowles @bobjohnbowles.bsky.social · 14/06/2025

Actually you can. No other advanced nation has such knuckle-draggers in law enforcement. Not saying it won't take time, but throwing your hands up in despair definitely isn't the answer.

They don't have the money. That is a good thing. Never mind the aircraft, maintaining a nuclear force is not cheap. With the human and financial drain of the war in Ukraine they can't afford to feed their people. I look forward to the end of the Russian Federation, it's lies and xenophobia.

It might look like nahzee shit to you but I was just pointing out the obvious. You are right, Jew /= Israeli /= Zionist. Similarly Palestinian /= Hamas. Afaict netanyahu's Zionists are the Jewish equivalent of Nazis. Make of that what you will.

By pointing out the double standards. One Jew dead and it's all over the media. One hundred thousand Palestinians dead, no-one turns a hair.

Karma is not fatalism. You have a choice in what you do about your situation, and that is what defines you.

I am sure he will have many opportunities to be reborn in realms more appropriate for him, but probably not as a human.

Bob Bowles @bobjohnbowles.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

And vice versa. A lot of folk here seem to have fallen for the fallacy that karma doesn't exist unless it's instant. It does not work like that. And you have to factor your own karma in too. The Universe is in dynamic equilibrium, sometimes the swings of the pendulum take their sweet time.

I don't think Karl Marx has much to do with it. IMO In a horrendous irony of fate Marx _invented_ modern capitalism by focusing on the capital. As Adam Smith maintains in The Wealth Of Nations, the wealth of a nation lies not in gold or silver, but in the industry of its citizens.

Why isn't anyone questioning Trump's willingness and capability? He couldn't be a$$ed to go to Turkey for the negotiations he is allegedly so keen to have with Putin.
