The ICC was set up to investigate war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Rubio is quite literally saying those things are OK by the United States. Anyone who buys goods or services from that nation is complicit. And yes, I know BlueSky is American.

Once again Trump is overlooked for the Nobel Peace Prize. But all is not lost. December approaches & it's possible FIFA will make him a two-time winner. But there's been suspiciously little discussion about the likely winner of this year's FIFA award. Surely that prize isn't being quietly forgotten?

'Public executions' is an effective buzzphrase the USA uses when describing a place it's about to invade.

Conspiracy theories. There's always a grain of truth. I bet someone once died from folic acid because a sack fell on their head. Or did you know certain people make millions promoting it. Plus Andy Burnham bathes in it. The stuff is pure evil.

Yes but Ferrari has a reputation as a far-right fanboy so I'm surprised by anything less than fawning over Badenoch.

But why the name 'Procol Harum'? The answer is obvious. They were named after a cat. Because that's a totally normal name for a cat.

I hope she's not OK. Racists and fascists don't deserve sympathy.

What?? Why is Ferrari giving her a hard time? Haven't listened to him for years but I guess it's because he's a Reform/Restore fan.

The Mail doesn't worry anyone when it talks about the nuclear threat to the UK because that's been completely and utterly obliterated. Must be true, Trump said.

If Trump thinks the people of the UK will be devastated he might be a little out of touch.

Dear Conservative Central Office Here is our bill for marketing consultancy. We are delighted you liked the title The Right Way & look forward to working with you again. With your approval we plan to develop RIGHT in exciting new contexts. Can we show you our ideas around: 'RIGHT Kemi?'🤩 Lunch?

Presumably none. It's bizarre that the meaning of words is fiercely debated as the Palestine genocide - or whatever anyone wants to call it - continues.

"What is it about the perpetrators of those horrors that doesn’t warrant condemnation?" Those horrors are not being conducted with support from the USA and the UK, using weapons made in the USA and the UK. They do deserve condemnation but our condemnation makes little difference.

Respect to her. She doesn't say what's popular, she believes in common sense. Tax breaks for the rich may not be popular but it's common sense. Because rich people would prefer to have more money. See? That's common sense.

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Definitely. Even if 'one's peers' are the people who carefully weighed up the evidence ten years ago and decided to leave the European Union.

Kemi Badenoch revealed today to an excited public that she believes in common sense. This isn't new, it's something constantly repeated by the right and their media mouthpieces. But why? Because we're invited to believe that leaders of other parties don't believe in common sense? It's just weird.

Well yes but you haven't included everyone being two grand a year better off. Or world war being a bit less likely.

In the UK there has been controversy over hospital parking fees. My own view is that it's outrageous to charge relatives of people who are ill. On the other hand use of public transport should be encouraged.

The matter of the pound and the euro gets right to the heart of Brexit irrationality. They feel passionately about it but wouldn't be able to explain why.

And yet Democrats on BlueSky repeatedly insist they love their nation. It's been drummed into them. Do they love Trump? They love being the world's top climate change offender? My Lai? Abu Ghraib? Guantanamo Bay? Of course there are some stunning national parks but spare us the 'I love America' shit

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The irony is that Brexiters say: "Ah but it's not just about money". For once they're right. The EU is about setting aside nationalism to avoid horrors of the past and it's about being a powerful voice in a world dominated by superpowers. For the UK joining the EU would be worth it even at a cost.

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

"Yes but Brexit happened years ago, therefore it can't possibly be to blame for Britain's ills" That is literally what Conservative Deputy Leader Alex Berghart just said. Deliberate dishonesty on another level.

Sturgella Nurbongler @strontium90.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

The Conservatives really think people are stupid. "Leaving the EU can't be to blame because it happened years ago" They know very well that the damage caused by Brexit is long-term and that it gets worse every year. So pinning the blame on Brexit is exactly what should be done.

BBC News reports a Tory Shadow Minister saying Brexit can't be to blame because it was years ago

Trump is still certain the five men are terrorists. That's weird even by his standards. Does intelligence from the UK not reach the White House? Or it does, but he doesn't get briefed?
