Terrible to give anyone that movie /song for a paso! Not sure anyone could do much with it. Rather unfair.

New, from me:
Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce
1. Purge - those deemed disloyal
2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military
3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent

Purge, Merge, and Surge
Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

Now seen that e.g. official Anglican account is here - in a minimal kind of way - and some individual churches /cathedrals etc have made the move but it really pains me to see how reluctant others across public sector are to cut the tie.

Completely understand that feeling. Revamping who I follow ( that initial sign up to lots of starter packs means that needs doing) and actively rebalancing rust is helping.

“You described Reform and other parties across Europe today as among the 'right wing equivalents of the fascists in the 1930s'. Why?”

“Because that’s what they are”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social asks Lord Heseltine about remarks he made at Conservative Party Conference.
