Trump said in 2016 he’d eliminate the national debt in eight years. The national debt apparently took that personally.

The Eiffel Tower crowd video: debunked. Spread by pro-Trump, pro-Russia, and pro-Israel disinformation networks and accounts, primarily based in the US, Israel, many from India and Africa likely troll farms.
A video captioned "France has fallen" gathered millions of views in the first week of October. It showed Paris Saint-Germain fans celebrating the club's Champions League win around the Eiffel Tower in May. Other accounts used the same footage to describe the student protests:
Sherri, posting as @FFT1776, wrote: "Has Paris fallen? I'd say so. What a damn shame... it was all preventable. This was intentional."
An account named White Lives Matter, posting as @FA666FO, linked to the Italian account RadioGenoa and wrote: "This is sickening and everyone White American who hails from Europe should be disgusted at this vile image! This is the death of your culture."
Mossad Commentary, an account that uses the name of Israel's foreign intelligence agency and posts as @MOSSADil, wrote over the same crowd: "PARIS: THE QUEERS FOR PALESTINE AND GAYS FOR GAZA ARE GLOBALIZING THE INTIFADA."

As long as the Tories are threatening to leave the ECHR, they aren’t a serious party. Consider it the ultimate red flag. Any party who’d take this entirely unnecessary and ruinous risk with our rights and our country’s security and wellbeing should never get its hands on power. (Letter, Times)
Value of the
ECHR
Sir, In dangerous times, serious countries do not retreat into splendid isolation. They build alliances, multiply their influence and strengthen institutions. Key among those is the 46-member Council of Europe, at its heart the European Convention on Human Rights.As former independent reviewers of terrorism legislation we have seen at close quarters that the ECHR is not just a human rights instrument. It is a national security asset. Terrorist networks, hostile states, organised crime gangs and people smugglers do not respect borders. Tackling them requires arrangements for the closest possible co-operation with our neighbours, including through joint investigations and police access to European passenger, fingerprint, DNA and vehicle data.These arrangements expressly depend on internationally agreed human rights standards, applied by a supranational court. We detect no political willingness to excuse the UK from compliance with standards to which the rest of Europe already subscribes. As authoritarian powers grow more aggressive and democratic institutions face mounting pressure, Britain should not be abandoning one of its greatest postwar achievements.
The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the ECHR. It is whether, in an increasingly perilous world, we can afford not to.

I have to agree with you - just saw it in a post from someone I usually have a lot of time for, and it just leaves a bad taste in the mouth. People need to think a bit harder about whether the wittiness of the wordplay outweighs the ickiness of what they're actually referencing.

It only feels “radically progressive” because we’ve spent 40 years normalising radically regressive ideas. This was broadly how Britain worked from 1945–79, when average GDP growth was 2.6% a year — compared with 1.9% in the post-Thatcher years. It works www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
