Trump has shown time and time again that, like all five year old bullies, he responds only to strength.

Because they don't consider the kidnap victims to be human. It's happening again.

"Just let him have the Sudetenland, he won't invade Poland." "Just let him have Greenland, he won't invade Canada." Hah, no. We in Europe actually learned our lesson on that one. Fuck off Mr Trump.

Yes. But mostly constitutional monarchs who do not run the country. And even in countries like the UK, where we do have a king, they remember what happened to Charles I at Whitehall.

Except it's not so they can deport those illegally in the UK. That can already be done. It's so they can treat the rest of us how they treat refugees.

So they now have to do the same for the Greens, the Lib Dems, and others, or they're biased and in breach of standards.

The police making the arrest should be disciplined for wrongful arrest. But they won't be.

Funny how all these Brexit types have changed their tunes when faced with the reality of being a non-EU country, and having to go through all the passport checks that non-EU countries do...

Of course they are. Cos Donny's against war till he can see personal gain in it.

Trump lacks the empathy to do so (not a recent development). He also lacks the guts to do so (also not a recent development).

Yes. They're also deliberately bouncing them off the ground in other footage. That makes the trajectory of the bullet completely uncontrolled and unpredictable.

Debbie Lough @debbielough.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

But they're "only following orders". (Cos that worked so well last time.)

Added to which, people are acting like rubber bullets are harmless, when they're far from it. They can smash bones.

It's notable that the language being used about "liberating" LA is the same rhetoric used by Putin to justify his invasion of Ukraine.

He clearly took aim directly at her and fired. Even my husband (former British army) watched it once and said that.

Or maybe it's Labour responding to Labour voters, who've been vocal about the issue. What appears to be happening is that they were slagged off by supporters (including you) for the cut, and now they're being slagged off by the same people for listening and admitting they were wrong.

I mean, I'd be irritated by it, because I vote against it, but i would not be surprised by it. And I'd place the blame squarely on the morons who chose to have it happen.

Debbie Lough @debbielough.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

And that's how you can tell the difference between a police force, and a paramilitary loyal to the regime.

Paramilitary loyal to the current US regime...

That came very close to having to boycott #Eurovision entirely next year. However, one point - if Russia is (quite rightly) excluded for a war in which they commit war crimes, all countries doing the same should be.

In Manchester, where buses have been in public control since January, average fares have reduced by 15%, usage is up 4% on the year, punctuality is up on major routes by ~80%, and revenue is 4% over target. Public control is good start - next stop public ownership!

I'd say that there are conservatives (in the American sense), who are speaking out. Any Republican (member, supporter, or politician) who is not speaking out is enabling all going on. If you see two Nazis/Maga sitting at a table, and a non Nazi/Maga joins them, then you see three Nazis/Maga.

Yep... Speaking as a medieval reenactor, in a period in which "Deus Vult" (god wills it) was a legiyimate historical battle cry, we have had problems with white supremacists latching onto it. I'd classify anybody with a Deus Vult tattoo as a far right extremist.

I know more about ptsd than autism (because I have the frmer, not the latter). It first became known only during WW1, and only known as ptsd after Vietnam. But you can see descriptions of it through history as far back as Classical Antiquity. I suspect the same is true of autism.

It's almost worth joining to tell her she crashed the economy... (We probably should take this seriously though, given she wants to start a Maga movement in the UK. Now that we know Maga are definite fascists who support concentration camps.)

The US under Trump is neither a friend or our ally, and seeking close ties with them will give credence to our fascists, as appeasing Hitler did in the 1930s. We're in Europe, not the Americas. They're alienating their actual voters while playing to people who would never vote for them anyway.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

I'd suggest you make it that nobody is inherently bad or good, everybody is capable of doing either. Therefore Miller is choosing to be evil.

I read the five had either records or charges - three for minor stuff, two for more serious. But they deserve trials, not being thrown into hell.
