I like discussing society and politics with people who can debate without getting angry and shouting.

To understand British parliamentary procedure you to understand the concept of the Chiltren Hundreds, which nobody does.

A war without a capital W is still a war. An armed conflict is still a war. A special military operation is still a war. War is what war does.

Does this apply to all people living in the UK or only certain ethnic groups? Is it just a coincidence that it sounds very familiar to the Lebensborn policy - by you know who? And, anyway, I thought we were full. metro.co.uk/2026/02/07/r...

Am I to assume from Robert Jenrick's recent comments about Handsworth and integration he wants non-white people to redistribute themselves into areas of low ethnic diversity? I wonder if he has discussed this with his neighbours in his village in Herefordshire.

I have a strange take on patriotism. Live in the country, pay your taxes, follow the law, and try to make it a better place. Painting roundabouts doesn't fill me with a sense of pride. First, it's vandalism, and secondly, your local council has to pay to remove it. Churchill would not approve.

Despite the hype raising the Union Flag is not illegal, an act of defiance or even edgy. It can, however, be tacky. And more to the point, we are no USAdians. We are British! We do not pledge allegiance to fabric. Can we please stop copying those rebels across the pond.

I'm convinced the whole LA/National Guard thing is a deliberate distraction from the taco thing. Therefore, I suggest, the best form of protest is to buy police and National Guardsmen tacos. Trump would burst a blood vessel if they were all eating tacos instead of shooting people.

I have an idea for a movie plot. Somebody working a humble job, cleaner, driver, accountant, tailor, etc. Plot twist, they were part of a secret agency of bad asses, which they are trying to put behind them. But then somebody they care about is kidnapped. Lots of asses get kicked. The end.

The best part of a Trump speech is watching the people round him. Trying to look impressed by the "great" man, wondering if they are going insane, struggling not to interject and desperate not to laugh - all at the same time.

Do you remember what upset you in the news last month, two weeks ago, last week, yesterday? Some of it was serious, like innocent people being deported to gulags, some of it was stuff like Alcatraz, which won't happen. But we can't tell the difference or keep track of it. That is how it works!

Trump tells Putin to stop - and he does. This shows the power imbalance and Russia's exhaustion. The truest thing Trump has said is that he could stop the war in a day. Putin knows it, and Trump, ironically, doesn't. apnews.com/article/trum...

"He is playing 4D chess." That's not clever. Chess is a 2D game. The visual representation is 3D with the pieces, but still 2D. 3D chess would be an absolute mind bender. 4D chess - you don't know chess, and you don't know how dimensions work. But you do know how to flaunt your ignorance.

The USA will not invade Greenland. Or at least my mind can't envision that scenario. I can, however, see US forces being asked to leave and bases being closed. Who would benefit in such a scenario? Not Greeland, Denmark, Canada, NATO, and most importantly, not the USA. Only one winner - Russia.
