Is the World Cup at risk? Given the dangers of travel for many people from many countries, given the potential of airlines lacking fuel, given that Ice agents at airports might slap you into detention or refuse you entry ……

Why is it that this year, I have a grand sbowing of daffodils, but the majority are without flowers, being 'all leaf'?

Well if they are, it will probably be because they want to. So what's the problem?

We don't necessarily need a journalist to call him out, face to face. To report online, on tv, in press the lies he tells, the abuse he dishes out: to analyse his 'policies', to challenge too the organisations and systems that should be protecting the nation from his fascism, but don't.

Reno to Sacramento, about 130 miles? Fly your drone from Reno, not from Iran. In fact, if you can get your drone to Reno, why not just take the bus to Sacramento?

Well clempm, if i were in his shoes fighting a war from which the USA seems to have turned its 🍊💩 back, I'd consider securing an attractive deal with some of the fichest dudes in the middle east. Our drone-defence technology for your financial support.

Good idea. And if Zelenskyy is being approached by rich middle east countries for anti-drone technologies it could be he too could soon tell the 🍊💩to feck off. And if the Magas turn against him for starting the kind of war he promised never to engage in....?

BBC Any Answers today: seems some eejit English women are 'angry' because their 'child' has a huge student debt and they, the eejit wifies, see the taxes they pay going to provide free education for Scottish weans. It's bollocks of course but aqll the more reason to set us free, I'd have thought.

I suppose that since Musk won't be available in France for prosecution, the heid man of X in France would be brought in front of a court. Which is what I've been suggesting happen in UK.

Oh Mr Handy. It's true that fascism arrives not out of the blue, but slowly, quietly, sweetly .... unnoticed by the majority. I can't reasonably accuse the BBC of being fascist, but I can see that what you describe happened softly, quietly..... probably unnoticed by the majority (is, me).

Sounds like Bovino is ICE boss. Which makes him responsible. So local police should arrest him, the charge being murder, or the assistance thereof.

I don't give a fuck about Trump's 'apology' thing: nothing he says will ever clear the slate, nothing. 72million Americans need to get rid of him AND is arse licking cronies.

Aye Bhoy, but I'm guessing folk like you, and me, we're sitting in Munich & Berlin in 1930s saying similar things, but like you, and me, had no idea about how to stop it. Then one night the door got kicked in and .... Well, we know what came next.

Every day I expect a highly qualified psychiatrist - psychologist would do - to appear online or on TV confirming that, in his opinion, Trump's actions, statements, and behaviours indicate that the man is insane.

Unfortunately I'm not aware of buying anything from USA, I need to find other ways to object. Or, accept that the man is insane and not responsible for all the crass, disgusting and offensive things he comes out with. Accept, to preserve my own mental health.

This presupposes the rebuilding of physical, commercial, and psychological Gaza is something within the purview of Trump. Whilst they won't have the financial wherewithal to deliver it (who has?) I'd expect those responsibilities to default to whoever fills the vacuum in Gazan political leadership.
