The Epstein Files will definitely come out. They will be so horrific that even evangelical Christians won't be able to support him. All the Republicans have is delaying tactics. Canute already knows this. His only way out will be dementia. His enablers will jump ship as the net closes. #trump

Mutual deterrence can turn into mutually assured destruction, as it would have done in 1983 had it not been for Stanislaus Petrov. We cannot rely on there always being a Stanislaus to save us.

Iran had a democratically elected pm who wanted to nationalise oil. CIA organised a coup & installed the Shah & his secret police. The people turned to islamic extremists.
Vietnam allied with USA to fight Japan. After the war the USA returned their country to French rule.

Merkel understands the shallowness of flag-shagging and faux patriotism on the political platform. She has learned from the history of Germany #flags #patriotism

Merkel doesn't like the German flag

she decided joining the smear campaign against him was her priority,and wouldn't deal with him.
Ed Davey has come out as a clown. Don't waste your vote on the Lib Dems. Rather the Green party or Your Party, for real change #radical #progressive

The Lib Dems gave us the Conservative government, then Nick Clegg messed up a proportional representation referendum. Swinson declared her priority was to stop brexit but when offered an opportunity to do so by Jeremy Corbyn 🧵

The proscription as terrorist of a direct action protest group for throwing paint over planes devalues the term 'terrorism'& makes infinitely more difficult the fight against actual terrorists.

In London yesterday a man was arrested for holding up a magazine called 'The New World', which is freely available to buy in our shops.
The UK government is sliding away from the concept of free speech at an alarming speed.

I have never heard Ulster Scots or Irish used in everyday life yet an SDLP council has given Irish priority on public signage - an act of exclusion,not inclusion. #irishlanguage #unitedireland

PrivetEye @priveteye.bsky.social · 5d

In a united Ireland Irish must be made available to all children,on a voluntary basis. We spend £200m+ to segregate education; the only difference in the curriculum is compulsory Irish in maintained schools.Add to this the cost of Irish signage etc.

If there was a demand for Irish language usage in everyday life there would be a mass circulation newspaper in Irish. Irish language programming on tv has such low ratings that they aren't statistically significant.

I was amazed at the lack of substance in the Republican Party when it was swatted aside by a low functioning sociopath, but I am even more amazed that the sociopath still has a 40% approval rating.

Perhaps, if British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmoud believes pro-Palestinian protests should be cancelled as a mark of respect for the victims of the Manchester attack, the government could also cancel its arms shipments to Israel, as a mark of respect for the victims of genocide .
