absolutely no mention of that fascist scumbag slashing a boat, other than him broadcasting a ‘livestream’, a complete dereliction of journalism www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Protesters had earlier gathered in Gosport after an initial report that the small boat would be brought further west.

The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

As Ed Miliband leaves his post as energy and net-zero secretary, a final tally: There have been an incredible 251 newspaper editorials attacking him and his approach to net-zero since the start of 2024 That amounts to two editorials a week, mainly in the Sun, Daily Mail, Times and Daily Telegraph.

In a detail which will surprise no one, the first of the "patriots" to plead guilty to offences connected to the rioting in Southampton on Tuesday night has a criminal record as long as your arm, including.... possessing a knife.
The court was told that Frost had previously received 25 convictions for 55 offences, including an offence against the person in 2001, four public disorder offences between 2006 and 2011, offences of failing to surrender in 1999 and 2008, possession of a bladed article in 2009 and threatening and abusive behaviour in 2010 and 2011.

The smell of BS in the morning…. Farage is clearly very worried about this £5m bung from Harborne. And rightly so - British voters really don’t like big money in politics, Reform voters as much as anyone So Farage is trying everything to distract from the crypto bros bankrolling Reform.

Anyone still questioning why Farage's Reform did so well? The majority of the British public have no idea how politics work in this country, they listen to our press and its lies and believe every word. If there is to be real change we have to take on our media.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors
or surrender accepted;
(2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such
that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted;
(3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable
ability to accept surrender would exist;
(4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate
forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and
(5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.
How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail 
 
I would rather 
eat Quavers that are six weeks stale, 
blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale, 
listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail, 
than read one page of the Daily Mail. 
 
If I was bored 
in a waiting room in Perivale, 
on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail, 
halfway through a circumnavigational sail, 
I would not read the Daily Mail. 
 
I would happily read 
the autobiography of Dan Quayle, 
1001 Things You Can Do With Kale, 
selected scripts from Emmerdale,
if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail. 
 
Far better to 
stand outside in a storm of hail, 
scratch a blackboard with a fingernail, 
be swallowed by a humpback whale, 
than have to read the Daily Mail. 
 
If I was blind  
and it was the only thing in Braille, 
I still would not read the Daily Mail.
