Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.
Crack 'em while you can, though, because Suella's star might just be on the skids. Despite plugging her book on Question Time, on Tim Shipman's Spectator podcast, in serialised excerpts in the Daily Mail, and in a fawning interview with Allison Pearson in the Telegraph, in its opening weekend, Patriot sold precisely 106 copies.

— from Ian Winwood’s New World piece.

Presumably, Farage & his party members support their sanction busting hero Donald Trump buying diesel from Putin? Russian assets the lot of them

So drag queens, books with gay penguins, and trans athletes will traumatize kids but a public execution won’t?!

The US is funding a livestreamed genocide, starving countries like Cuba, building concentration camps at home and run by a crime syndicate involved in child sex trafficking. In comparison, public livestreamed executions seem like quite a light side affect of that. Americans have no red lines.

This is nothing more than a barbaric ghoul show Why are news outlets treating this as a debatable subject. Whether or not you agree with the death penalty, this is psychotic behaviour.

Firing squad execution to be livestreamed, Pentagon says. Lost for words at the insanity in Trumpistan, a truly sick dictatorship. Like medieval times, executions offered as a public spectacle in a country that claims to be Christian. What next?

Pete Hegseth says the execution will be public, but a legal expert says the "unprecedented" decision is on "uncertain legal terrain".

Why are news outlets reporting that the USA is going to live stream an execution by firing squad with anything other than horror and condemnation? This isn't a subject for debate. It's barbaric and sociopathic. Even if you are probably death penalty, you don't turn it into a ghoul show.

Private water companies were handed a debt-free industry in 1989 under Thatcher. Since 1991 your water bills have gone up by 44% and a third of what you pay goes towards dividends payments and financing debt. They need to go bust and be taken back into public hands. Now. Not in 10 years' time.
