I find it hard to believe that the people who commissioned the statue didn’t see this coming. They presumably discussed it then Decided they couldnt care less.

Surely suggesting that for example children in boats should be murdered is against the law?

Many people in small boats are children. I find it hard to understand how suggesting someone should murder unarmed civilians including children is not breaking the law?

Let’s never, ever forget Robert Jenrick wants migrant women and children shot to death by Royal Marines👇 Yes Bent Bob said that out loud on air😡 The fact Farage & Reform haven’t distanced themselves from this shows the scum are 100% behind him In years to come he may deny it but we won’t forget❗️

Maybe I'm overly sensitive because my enduring memory from my time in war was NOT pulling the trigger in a questionable situation (way less premeditated than the Haditha killers) and thereby NOT killing a car full of civilians. I'm no hero. That's what anyone SHOULD have done in that situation.

Michael Gove, Lola Salem, and a sudden silence
Why did a series of newspaper stories vanish and why are right-wing organisations involved in a coordinated campaign to forget about one particular contributor?

Lib Dem MP @calummillerld.bsky.social: "The US State Dept. intends to spend tens of millions of pounds promoting ideological propaganda and supporting far right parties in Western Europe." Surreal & horrifying that European govts must consider the threat of US state-directed far right propaganda.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Don't get distracted by all the daily bullshit from Trump and his remaining loyalists. The central dynamic unfolding right now is how Trump and the US government are losing control of events at home and abroad. A post-American order looks increasingly possible.

Trump’s obeisance to Putin has been established beyond even the vaguest scintilla of doubt; the possibility of another January 6-style assault on US democracy after/during the mid-terms is clearly acute and ‘we’ are still wary of calling fascism fascism. These are the moments…

It’s genuinely sad to watch. The President is so weak and incapable of negotiating a real deal that he just posts fake ones on social media and hopes people believe him, until every party involved puts out a statement calling him a liar. We’ve never seen weakness like this in the Oval Office.

BBC News - PM says it is 'clear' Russia interfered with Brexit vote www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... After all the scaremongering, false information and false promises by Brexiteers you cant believe their denials since they told everyone rubbish in the first place.

PM says it is 'clear' Russia interfered with Brexit referendum
He says voters were not "sufficiently" informed about how foreign actors sought to disrupt UK democracy.

For those wondering why I have not condemned Donald Trump's decision to buy Russian deisel, it's just that I think it's a great idea because I too am a Russian stooge and a traitor.

A plinth with a wide fence at about 20 feet. It’s hardly rocket science . Google the proposed statue of the late Queen in London. Nobody is getting up there.

Norway’s former Chief of Defence, General Sverre Diesen: “Under the current Trump administration, we cannot consider the United States our ally. Trump’s America is a hostile actor that, in the event of a conflict in Europe, would side with Russia rather than with us and other European countries.”

Free weekend out. The big story is that Donald Trump is now free to be what he always was--strong supporter of Vladimir Putin and an agent pushing for Russian victory. He no longer has to pretend he cares at all about Ukrainian dead or Russian War crimes. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

It's both shameful and deeply humiliating for what was until recently the world's most powerful democracy to be reorienting itself so that it can be more like, and closer to, a second tier criminal autocracy like Russia.
