In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

The opening paragraph of Ed Sheeran's new statement is a great example of spineless both-sideism that will only annoy people even more
"I am appalled by the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The suffering and pain caused on both sides is a human tragedy. There are too many wars across the world causing immeasurable pain, none of which should be tolerated"

This is INSANE www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/t... and these are our closest allies!
Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization.

In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children.

Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

Once again, the main goal of Trump's tariffs is soliciting bribery. That is why all who go looking for a coherent (if misguided) economic strategy that aims to benefit the country come away confused. Make manufacturing boom? Stop fentanyl? Generate revenue to replace income tax? Nope. Corruption.

Dunno what was said st halftime to Irish team, but if anything they've been worse, and vs a team with a player short. Absolutely appaling across the park, from brainless solo carries, to passes to nobody. Just awful, and gifted win to Scottish side that couldn't believe their luck... #SCOvIRE #W6N

Carty is supposed to be the best tactical 10 #Connacht have, but he's killing his team with lack of game intelligence. Ball in play far too much for a match at altitude. He needs to kick tactically, give his forwards (especially) breathers. Can see Connacht falling away badly in 2nd half... #LIOvCON

Dreadful performance by #Ireland so far, so, so wasteful in possession. Irish errors have kept the Scots in the game, and with only their 2nd attack of the half gives them the lead. Deserved punishment of wastefulness of #Irish side. #SCOvIRE #W6N www.ultimaterugby.com/match/_/96693

Here we go, six foot putt for the win. Misses low for a bogey and lets Rose back in for a playoff. Think we all know hiw this is going to go sadly. Hopefully not, but not sure #Rory has the mental energy left, and Rose finished so strong. #RoryMcIlroy #TheMasters ☘️

Birdie on 17th gets #Rory up by one, with #Rose in the clubhouse. Bangs a brilliant drive after a long wait on 18. From A1 position finds a bunker. Needs an up and down to avoid the playoff he badly needs to avoid... ##RoryMcIlroy #TheMasters

RonanB @ronanb.bsky.social · 13/04/2025
Great 2nd gave #Rory a chance of an eagle at 15, but he's quick over the ball and never properly aligned over the putt, and misses low. Bags the birdie on putting back. So he's got the show back on the road sorta, and leads by one... ☘️ #RoryMcIlroy #TheMasters

RonanB @ronanb.bsky.social · 13/04/2025
Probably not when you follow it up with another bogey on the 14th, momentum shot to hell by four dropped shots so far on the back nine. Any sort of lucky break birdie now for #Rory or his goose is cooked. Don't think he'll survive another dropped shot mentally... ☘️ #RoryMcIlroy #TheMasters

RonanB @ronanb.bsky.social · 13/04/2025
#Rory what was 13th? Decided on the tee to play safety first tee to green. Then absolutely messes up easy pitch, a club player could hit, into the stream for penalty drop. So first putt is now for bogey, and misses. You can't win with 2x double bogies on your card. Can you? #RoryMcIlroy #TheMasters

RonanB @ronanb.bsky.social · 13/04/2025
After his pitch on the 2nd, #Rory has got to change his body language. Regardless of how bad the shot was (after a dreadful 1st hole), behaving like an infant who's been scolded just shows weakness to DeChambeau and boosts his confidence. #PokerFace lad, no matter what... #TheMasters #RoryMcIlroy
