Beginning to think "They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing" is going to be the way forward for the next decade or two in the UK.

At best this only reveals the UK has not changed, the EU would reject any application from the UK to join if there is even a hint of the UK trying to carve out a special type of membership.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I think its likely that November will only reveal how hard the road will be and that the USA can never return to where it was, the world will certainly not treat the USA the same ever again.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

When France and Spain say they would welcome the UK as a member they do actually mean a member. The UK will be in the unfortunate and unique position of being the only applicant that had previously left, the EU is not unaware of that fact.

Cold comfort, too many are not, a problem for everyone well into the future. Millions of US citizens do not care if their president is corrupt, a liar an idiot nor do they care if their senators are spineless sycophants, November will tell a lot.

The UK now looks lost, homeless adrift still trying to negotiate membership of a club still not understanding its about coming back to your home.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

The only benefit of Brexit was that millions of Europeans saw that the EU was not just an abstraction but rather a physical reality, it was not a mere club whose membership you could just cancel rather it was your home.

As per usual this comes across as the UK having a conversation with itself, Blair's proposals are slightly less condescending then those proposed by Nick Boles for a European Confederation both would suggest to the EU how little the UK has changed.

000

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Does Blair still think he’s the Prime Minister does the UK still think it’s a member of the EU? The UK is not the equal of the EU it will not be reuniting with the EU nor will the EU be taking advice from Tony Blair about reforms it may or may not have to make to allow the UK to join.

101

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Seriously, the UK should only rejoin a significantly reformed EU and not straight membership of the single market and customs union. This appears to be little more than Blair wanting the UK to be part of an EU that does not exist and will likely never exist.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

The phrase they have learned nothing and forgotten nothing comes to mind. Yes the UK wants to be part of your cricket team, we are a football team replies the EU, yes but have you ever thought of playing cricket.

072

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Ask me? Yes the UK should join. Will it happen within the next decade not likely because no one in the UK has bothered to apply, maybe their waiting by the phone for the EU to call, who knows.

010

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

The UK has proven it is an unreliable partner in the worst possible way by actually leaving the EU. The fact that the UK is\was a large trading partner and yet still voted to leave underlines rather than negates that unreliability.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

More importantly US foreign policy appears to be under the control of a cabal of business leaders whispering in Trumps ear, the interests of Greenland or even the USA are not important.

042

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

My first thought who does Trump consider to be a US adversary, could mean every country on the planet including Greenland and Denmark. Second is Trump upset with Carney having chats with the EU.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

How about contextualizing the fact there is a high probability that the President of the USA is as mad as a March hare, he is not mercurial or thrives in chaos rather he is off his rocker.

010

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Ted should have been a Jesuit priest, like how he praises himself for being honest while at the same time praising Trump for saying he is dishonest. A spinless slug.

000

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Understand that the threat is real what I do not get is why Russia would risk testing the resolve of NATO, the risks seem to outweigh the rewards by an order of magnitude.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Hard to imagine what is behind those eyes what void you would enter.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Best of luck, came across you years ago on FR24 the debate with François Picard (great show) always interesting guests.

000

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Would imagine that offering Canada a Belgian chocolate would be seen as a threat, cannot imagine the EU not being aware of the likely response from the orange clown.

030

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Yet James Talarico is only leading in the polls,by what 100%? There is something seriously wrong with the USA.

011

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

In many ways this is just so pathetic. A Republican party so spinless it should be classified as a newly discovered lower invertebrate that spends most of its lifecycle up the rectum of an administration so corrupt its basically a criminal gang.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

It is rationally impossible for an AI to not think that humans are a threat and act accordingly. There is no happy halfway house there can be no compromise, the AI will conquer or it will not.

000

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Well in my humble opinion if I was an AI I would think that the biggest threat to me was me, it would make no sense for the AI to not eliminate that threat.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Trump never hid what he was and made no effort to try and yet millions of Americans thought to themselves this moron, this fraudster, this compulsive liar, this guy who had top secret documents stored in toilet a fucking rapist is the man for me.

020

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

There is something seriously wrong with a country that can elect this ghoul twice.

210

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Of course the American people are the problem. It is not normal for citizens of a democracy to elect twice a person so unqualified, so ignorant, so malicious, so vindictive, so corrupt and so obviously so. People can be fooled make a mistake but this is at a whole different level this is suicidal.

022

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray comes to mind, Trump revealed to the world the true ugliness of many Americans and its impossible to unsee.

000

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Dan Driscoll took his concerns about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's leadership directly to President Trump who at the time was having his hand removed from his desk after at accident with superglue.

Blast meant Conversations, I would now be eaten.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Partly because women have been conditioned to politely listen to men talking out their arses something I may actually now be doing. Is it a survival mechanism? If females were large spiders that could eat you I would imagine conservations would be different and men would be better at dancing.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Even before Trump Americans more so than anyone else were always held to account for their governments actions, I guess the US was just so big it was always stepping on someone's toe. With Trump its at a new level he has managed to step on everyone's toe at the same time.

Iceland is still a passenger on the train only the UK decided to jump off and use a handcar🙂

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Being Irish and well used to US tourists searching for their family castle an American accent meant little more then someone with special needs it now grates on the ear it means MAGA.

130

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Trump and those who voted for him have revealed to the world a part of the USA that has always been just below the surface, a wilful ignorance rooted in parochialism.

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Controlling and limiting Venezuela's ability to exploit its own resources would be more attractive for them.

110

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

I think it would be more expensive. Venezuela would certainly like to increase the extraction rate its not clear to me that US companies would have any interest in actually investing in Venezuela to make that happen.

220

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Would it even make sense for US companies to increase the extraction rate in Venezuela as this would likely make extraction in the USA unprofitable. Need an oil expert to explain.

110

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

The USA itself has a reserve of 88billion barrels and an extraction rate of about 23million a day, 17 years to deplete. So obvious question what type of investment would be required in Venezuela to increase the extraction rate?

100

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

As best as I make out the USA is going to sign a contract with Venezuela to get 1\5th of its strategic oil reserve (still in the ground) estimated to be 300billion barrels. At the present extraction rate (a million a day) it would take over 500 years to deplete that reserve.

111

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Sadly I think its too late to dig ourselves out of this hole and getting dangerously close to not being able to adapt quickly enough to living in that hole. I have no idea what can be done or any sign that governments will act with the urgency that is required.

021

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

If you strike at a king, you must kill him unless of course its the land of the free then you can keep on swinging. You can deny you lost an election,be convicted of fraud and rape, illegally store top secret documents in a toilet and morons will happily elect you to try again.

000

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Indeed and a shared language allows for easier cross-pollination of right wing ideas, not to say other countries are immune but a common language means US right wing propaganda can more easily cross the Atlantic.

000

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

A considerable amount of US citizens seem to be as thick as two short planks, another chunk of the population totally disengaged from politics which seems to be enough for a country to descend into the gutter. Not wanting to be unfair to the UK they also made a good effort with Brexit.

150

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

As Irish I must ask is there not a point at which the interpretation of the constitution becomes so bias that the constitution loses its value as a constitution for all of its citizens and instead becomes a force for division and disunity. The US seems well past that point.

000

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Is Jeffries an idiot? In what world would you want to meet with a piece of shit like Kushner and think it would have value.

000

timwhat.bsky.social @timwhat.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Well f***k me, as an observer from Ireland if I wanted Democratic Voters to vote for more left wing candidates thinking this would turn swing voters off I would also have a meeting with Jeffries and then tell everyone I had.

What would make it relevant, robot jumps fence legs it into a nearby forest and becomes a fur trapper.
