I only have to wishes. Count Binface going head to head with Froggy in a debate and for Norway to win on Saturday. Sorry England, I love you but I am and always will be Nordic.

The prospect of Nigel Farage fighting a people vs the establishment by-election in which the only other candidate is Count Binface - is too hilarious for words.

12 years living in England. So far I've been asked if I'm Irish now I can add "are you Scottish" to the mix. I'm a bloody Swede ffs.

I'm fucking fed up with British Tories, Reformers and American Republicans shouting communist at anyone slightly to the left of Attila the Hun. I'm Nordic, social democracy has shaped our nations. According to their logic that would make us a bunch of Viking communists.

7 Prime Ministers in 10 years, that must be a record. English politics is tough business. On the other side of the Atlantic there is a deranged, demented orange lunatic crashing the world economy. Is his party doing anything about it.... like fuck they are.

Take it for what it is — none of this is confirmed, but this is being discussed in foreign media, hence I thought to share.

Angry little men are desperate to find someone to blame and are hellbent on silencing women. Could it perchance have anything to do with the fact that young women are increasingly leaning left. I'm born in the 60s, do we have to do this shit all over again whenever men get their knickers in a twist.

I'm a child of the 60s. A spoilt Nordic brat. The evils of empire building was taught in school, a reminiscent of the past. We now have 4 loose cannons violently disagreeing with that consensus. Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and Xi. All men in their 70s fearing their own mortality and craving respect.

For reasons unknown to me I've been listening to podcasts about NATO and Europe. I find it somewhat unnerving how often the Nordics are mentioned. As a Swede we've become a accustomed to pottering around minding our own business. That has changed, to put it mildly.

If memory serves me right NATO is a defence alliance not an attack squad to be used on a whim by an American president. Threatening to attack and invade a NATO ally is also rather "disappointing" at least if you're a Dane or Greenlander www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

In UK, 30% of the votes can give you a majority (FPTP). In Europe (Proportional representation) 30% of the vote, not even close. In UK, Reform could win, in Europe they would need an alliance to reach +50% to win.

When I was young, religious faith was something you read about in school, a historical curiosity. It was OK for ppl to have faith as long as their particular version of faith didn't shape society. In all fairness, I'm from one of the most secular countries on earth, Sweden.

”developments … show that European nations are working with shocking speed to free themselves from dependence on America.” The problem never was that Europeans cannot imagine European security without the US. The problem is that Americans can’t imagine that Europeans can do it.

I'm no expert on the intricacies of international diplomacy. King Charles going to the US to suck up to the orange felon makes me slightly nauseous. As a foreigner living in UK, I struggle to understand this mythical "special relationship." It appears to exist in the minds of a certain type of Brit.

Parliamentary democracy can be messy, to put it mildly, but you can get rid of a government if it fucks up. That said, watching the US descend into madness in honor of a president who is indeed mad, I'll take messiness anytime of the day.

There was a time when I supported Israel, habit I guess. Not so much now. It was supposed to be a democracy but has turned out to be a state built on the misery and subjugation of others. I oppose other countries guilty of the same crime, Israel is no exception.

JD Vance is on a historic roll: He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose. Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses. Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably. Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.
