Assess it by inference. If they were collecting the fines they would be happy to publicise that fact, or at least answer when asked. Their silence implies that they are not.

Thank you for this. The number of people I’ve talked to that are saying Newsom was right and that the Trump problem was really caused by Europe was depressing. It was nice to see someone who had exactly the same reaction to him as I did.

Correction, Jonathan Harmsworth or Viscount Rothermere. Actually, 4th Viscount Rothermere - I mean, we wouldn’t want to confuse him with his pro-Nazi ancestors now would we

America is just a banana republic at this point. More corrupt than Mugabe’s Zimbabwe. A sad decline that’s taken less than a year.

Presumably the idea being that the presence of US troops makes an attack less likely. Doubtful with a president that thinks his own war dead are “suckers and losers”

Any guarantee given by a felon and a serial proven liar isn’t worth the paper it may be written on. History will not forgive you if you force Ukraine to accept a “deal” they do not want. Do you want your name indelibly tied to Trump, given what we’re learning about him?

No need to guess, it’s in their annual report Property, Plant & Equipment is worth approx $35bn + $12bn of inventory, making $47bn # shares is approx 3.5 bn So about $13 per share if sold at going rate, half this if in a fire sale

He reportedly now has to wear a nappy now (diaper for our US friends), so has no use for toilets anymore, 24 carat or otherwise. Even Fox News puts a towel down on their white sofa when he’s on. Why would they need to do that?

Except the whole world isn’t moving to be protectionist. It’s moving to protect itself from the US. That’s a key difference. 75% of global GDP is non-US. Decoupling will hurt but it’s not necessarily existential if free trade rules continue outside of the US

The most startling part IMO is the last para where the FT editorial board calls for the rest of the world to put America on the naughty step in a thinly veiled call for the rest of the world to exclude the US in future deals

Thing is, entry level work is where juniors learn from their mistakes, where those mistakes are not catastrophic for the business. Without this the people making decisions will have no personal experience and everyone with such experience will have retired.

The moron Trump has now wiped 15% of the value of the US stock market in only 6 weeks, close to 1000 points. S&P was at 6144 on 19-Feb, on 4-Apr it’s at 5213 & back to levels not seen since in a year. It’s your pension he’s screwing with, he personally will not be affected.

We really need to stop referring to him as the “leader of the free world” as it’s blindingly obvious that he’s nothing of the sort.

Tim Stanley is clearly trying to incite civic rest rather than stop it. Anyone who understood what a civil war entails wouldn’t be trying to get one started. My guess is he wouldn’t be one of the people on the barricades but would just continue to shout on the sidelines like the coward he is.

The FT this morning, in several articles including its editorial, making a thinly veiled call for the rest of the world to put America on the “naughty step”

000

StuartS @ziggysden.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

The FT editorial this morning calling for precisely this, although in somewhat more veiled terms. The f’ing FT!!! The last para in the editorial as follows

Quote from the FT editorial “This was no Liberation Day for America. If Trump gets his way, the US economy will be isolated from the very system that has powered its century-long rise. The whole world will suffer, but it need not follow America’s path.”
