The sign of an authoritarian state, appalling anachronism...

Yeah, they're so much more civilised in the US they only electrocute, poison, & shoot them....

According to Israel...
I expect it's probably less than 5%

Basically they are trying to turn England in to a Northern Irish Unionist ghetto...

TBH I have been in full panic mode for months, I find it extremely distressing that it has also happened in Wales now...

This is not "disregard for humanitarian duty"...
It is a blatantly obvious sign of genocidal intent...
When this is all over, the list of collaborators is going to be very long indeed...

Well, no one else is stupid enough to pay for it....

Rob Pountney @robpountney.bsky.social · Aug 23

Who is paying for all this ego massaging...
I find this attempt at uncritical rehabilitation in rather bad taste, It isn't as if he left anything better than he found it, quite the contrary...

Plasticine is a hate crime, hate crime is not crime...

Volgens peilingen hebben deze partijen samen maar 14%.... VIERTIEN PROCENT...
Nooit verwacht om zo een afslachting van democratische normen te zien in deze land, had maanden geleden nieuwe verkiezingen moeten zijn, waarom is er nou een grondwet, als het wordt gewoon stelselmatig genegeerd...

I'd be careful with this sort of argument, it's exactly the one they used about Turkey during the Brexit referendum....

As for this Spanish political party, it doesn't exist, & the last attempt at a liberal party in Spain rapidly collapsed, to suggest they are going to transform the Spanish political landscape is just unrealistic.
Only positive thing I can say about Clegg is that he does actually speak passable Dutch

I wish I hadn't followed your advice on this one.
Not a single Mea Culpa to be found, anywhere, basically it's a PR puff piece designed to rehabilitate him & sell his book.
Clegg bears a lot of responsibility for the way the UK now is, & frankly his time in Bro' land adds no polish.

Danes would never let their roads get in to such a mess...
The bastards are trying to turn England in to a Norther Irish Unionist ghetto...

Is eigenlijk wat gebeurde in de eerste Trump termijn...
Met alle gevolgen van dien...

...en die hebben ook het voordeel van alles die al bestond toen het uit belasting was betaald, dat infrastructuur gaat er ook achteruit, maar de PVVD heeft er niets aan dus het wordt alleen maar slechter, zit opgenomen in een zkh waar ik 15 jaar geleden werkte, het is gewoon te zien.

1. 'coolblue' is absolutely shit
2. Ik had onlangs gelezen dat het som van gedeclareerde zorgkosten kwam uit op het bedrag dat je zelf zou moeten betalen in premies (AV Top) + ziekteboete, was mij toen opgevallen dat in feite, 'de overheid' legt er helemaal niet zoveel bij...

Absolutely, lock him up throw away the key, if necessary release a mass murderer to make space....

Well, according to what they said when they started this game, now that life expectancy has stalled then pension ages will not be going up, in fact it looks like life expectancy in the UK will be going down, so, by their own logic retirement ages should start coming down too...

Absolute hero...

Rob Pountney @robpountney.bsky.social · Aug 23

The whole system is an utter joke, have a look at the decades long saga over the Cardiff bus station...

Rob Pountney @robpountney.bsky.social · Aug 23

Sure, does he think we have all forgotten his time in government & his role in the further collapse of the UK as serious political entity?

Rob Pountney @robpountney.bsky.social · Aug 23
