Waiting with my wife for 20 minutes at the local deli/cafe here in Albania for 2 egg salad baguettes we went back to the counter to see if the order had been forgotten, ‘No’ said the lady behind the counter, ‘I’m waiting for the girl who makes them to get back’. ‘From where?’ We asked. ‘Lunch’. 😳

The solution, according to Trump, to the repercussions of the US fighting a proxy war for Isreal is that Ukraine stops defending itself.

Labour still clings to the nonsense of a ‘special relationship’ between the UK and US. Presumably this is based on the consistent misconception that a deal that was first touted early on in Trump 45 is still valid 2 years into Trump 47. The reality is that he fucked the UK a little less than others.

The moment when two vile, and I mean vile in the sense of unredeemable moral corruption, realise that their deviant union of unrequited thirst for power, position and recognition is as false as their unrequited relationship.

Just another day on the merry-go-round of corporate influence on our governance. Pay to play is here to stay in one form or another unless we insist that political influence has the same level of entitlement as our electoral system, one person, one vote.

The definition of ‘futility’ is to try and attach any sense or logic from the words that come out of Trump’s mouth. He projectile vomits words with all the mess and stink that encapsulates his latest brain fart. It is now obvious that only the most dedicated moron can numb their senses to listen.

This is the essence of who Trump really is. In his mind he is being assertive, manly and authoritative. To the rest of the world he is being weak, pathetic and trivial. Take bully out of the ‘schoolyard’ safety of the White House, surrounded by enablers, and into the forum of the UN and he is zero

Trump standing in front of World Leaders at the UN forgets that these are some of the most well briefed people today and are updated daily on the true statistics and facts of Trump’s presidency. They also are seeing all of the unhinged& deranged posts he puts out on Truth Social, MAGA they are not.

The odds on this being chance are lottery odds. It stinks to high heaven and back and fits every criteria for what would be insider trading in a normal country. We of course know that what Trump is doing is neither legal nor ethical. He is a criminal leach sucking the lifeblood out US taxpayers.

If you want to know what Farage is and always will be then the answer lies in how he has taken his millions in ‘donations’ and the most important thing he chose to attack is the RNLI and charities that help immigrants. That is who Nigel Farage is and always will be. A complete fucking coward.

The solidarity that should bind us is nothing to do with race, colour, nationality, religion or identity, it is that we are all equal in our respective experiences of extreme capitalism, oppression, intolerance, racism, economic inequality and any other form of othering. We have more in common with

The narrative from the Trump administration is becoming more and more detached, disjointed and, to be completely honest, desperately delusional every day. This is a regime in complete chaos and the GOP are stuck in a state of denial about how much they are destroying every credible path forward. MAD

AI, if used properly, presents the human race with a vast opportunity for advancement, but it won’t be because the majority those building it and funding it are doing so to enslave you into a fantasy world of orchestrated distraction so they can continue to exploit the planet to it’s limit. You will

Quite the reverse of the gushing gombeen of a Taoiseach, Michael Martin. We have been lucky to have strong women Presidents in Ireland, Mary Robinson, Mary McAleese and now Catherine Connolly. They stand out, not because of they are women, but because they better represent the values of the people.

A fascinating story of deception and corruption which reverberates across the decades to be as relevant and compelling today as it was then. I remember reading about the tribe in my youth and it is strangely disappointing to realise it was probably one of my first times I was a victim to fake news.

While you are counting your $5000 remember that Trump has been (Per US Today) been involved in over 250 law suits for non-payment issues with employees, contractors and small businesses. He has had between 3,600 and 4,000 law suits regarding contracts and agreements. How’s that $5K looking now?

Nothing about Kushner and Witkoff’s visit to Moscow is to do with diplomacy, it is to carve up a deal to exploit the business opportunities that can be made from war and conflict, just like Gaza. Two authoritarian regimes whose synergy is that they both stand against democracy and European unity.

Two headlines that sum up the UK at the moment, a Union which is struggling to find an identity and one where they are picking on ALL the wrong people.

This convicted rapist and piece of human trash should not be allowed to contaminate our country and diplomacy be damned. President Connolly must be appalled at the prospect because he encapsulates everything she detests in life, abuse of power, abuse of women, abuse of children, abuse of ethnicity.

All I can say is that it has become Monopoly money as far as the Premier League is concerned. I have to admit that my love of the game died years ago when I saw how much money was entering the game and guessed that it would head where it is now, a corporate takeover of what was the people’s game.
