No, you won't prosecute ITV, Nigel. You don't have the legal authority to prosecute anybody. You wouldn't have it even if you were God King because that's not how the legal system works. You could try suing for slander, but I wouldn't advise it. Just accept you are your ilk are racists, OK?

Warccriminal: absolutely. But I do hope he is celibate. I would hate to think of any woman (or man, for that matter) in any sort of sexual Congress with that wankstain.

Trump & Musk collude in the murder of Ukranians. Isn't that a capital offence?

Is there a bit of gold coloured tat she can be presented with in recognition of this outstanding achievement: the FIFA Peace Prize maybe?

There are very few wrong answers. There are loads of right ways & if one of these is what works for you then it's right. End of, despite what the self-styled purists say. And, from a knitter who has watched the craft evolve & improve over 60 years because someone did something new, ignore purists!

When the Police Chief refuses to uphold the law, firing him is a necessity. Does California have some statute on the books along the lines of the UK's "misconduct in a public office"? Surely this has to be abuse of position, dereliction of duty, etc.!

Yet. Being a cynic, I forsee a lot of shock, horror probe-type revelations once Trump is shackled. It will start after the midterms (assuming the GOP loses badly) & will increase as they jump onto the anti-Trump bandwagon. Starting with Hegseth, etc., then the Trump offspring.

It's possibly more correct to say that Trump finds it more difficult to threaten foreign media sources. He didn't do too well against the BBC but, with a few brave exceptions, a lot of his critics in the USA have been silenced.

I am aware that Trump has his critics (AOC, etc) but most tend to focus on home - undoubtedly pressing issues (ICE, prices, erosion of freedom). This is one of the first critiques I have seen of the war & it is from an Indian media outlet. Trump's foreign "policy" (sic) is destroying US power.

Can't help feeling that a single voice crying in the wilderness is too little, too late. US foreign policy under Donald Trump has been oscillating between incoherence & toeing the Russian line as set out by Putin for nearly 2 years & the pussies who are meant to safeguard things have done nothing.

Correct. You can't reconnect with your allies when the twats in red hats will vote for anothe knobhead after 4 years. Biden told us 'America is back" & then you voted for the Orange MegaArse & fucked off again. There are good Americans, but sadly, the rest of the world no longer trusts America.

It's ok: Trump is on record as saying anyone killed or injured whilst serving in the US armed forces was a total loser. He doesn't care.

When you say sensible... I am deeply disturbed by the fact that I largely agree with the wobbling heap of lard who was once - & disgracefully - our PM. And, by & large, I would prefer him to stay on the Johnson side of his moat. He isn't going to bring any gravitas to the matter.

How can killing anybody be justified outside of a war zone (& there are rules about that too)? I don't care that the woman killed was trans. She was human. Thou shalt not kill. It's in the Bible, even in Tennessee.

'Time for Ukraine to get new president,' says Trump after Zelensky condemns diesel deal
Ukraine's leader had said the deal with Russia to release diesel into the US would help Moscow fund the war.

Did they ever bother to hide it? I'm sure they'll find a good use for the pennies saved. I hear Nigel Farage is down to his last multi millions. He will undoubtedly be classed as a worthy cause. Or rubber boat-slashing thugs. Another deserving fundraiser! Not to mention flags on lampposts.

I read this. I can't help feeling that anyone who travels to Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands expecting city nightlife is a total doofus. There are a lot of hills & beautiful countryside. That's the point. Ditto Times Square. So there are a lot of people & high prices. What did you expect?

I wondered where the small boats had gone. Presumably they're now paddling cross country from London - the arrested individuals were British & from London - to Fairford. Not sure why they had to go th France first though. Perhaps the The Clacton Clairvoyant could explain.

He has a point, although I'm a bit pissed off that "innocent" Iran appears to have decided to plant a few bombs in the UK. If you want to take the moral high ground, don't step into a ditch.

With you on the stockinette. Most boring thing I ever made: fingering/4ply V neck jumper for my beloved. Pure stockinette. No twiddley bits. Nothing. He chose the pattern. He chose the yarn. I died of boredom knitting the bloody thing & HE DOESN'T WEAR IT! (Lives in an aran cardigan I made, however)

Trump wouldn't recognise an intelligence-led anything, even if was shaped like a kipper, smelled like a kipper & was being used to slap his face. But, assuming this is an attempt by Iran to commit a terrorist act, it shows their understanding of small places in the UK is shit.

Brexit was voted for by just over 50% of the people who bothered to vote but less than 50% of the electorate. Let's pretend those who went for Brexit shared the warped BoJo vision for Britain. The fact remains: Johnson chose to ignore over 50% of voters. Democracy murdered courtesy of an Eton twat.
