The complete jellybacked complicity by elites around the world in appeasing Trump's fascism is really something to be behold. It will never not be shocking, even if completely unsurprising.
Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?"

A welcome 3 points for the #Rovers. New boys Morishita and Gudjohsson impressed and the returning Wharton was imperious at the back. Superb game management at the end.

In a fascist country, violence is a tragedy to be blamed on their political enemies when fascists say it is, and it's an isolated but unpreventable tragedy that must never be politicized when they say so, and it's no big deal when they say so, and it's righteous self-defense when they say so.
Nancy Mace to reporters on Charlie Kirk: “Democrats own what happened today.” When asked if that means Republicans “own” the shooting of Minnesota lawmakers she says “Are you kidding me?”

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

The marbles were made by Greek people in Greece, which is where we snaffled them from. To regard them as part of "our national culture", you must have lost your own personal marbles.
Liz Truss and the Great British PAC are campaigning to keep the Elgin Marbles in London, not have them returned to Greece on loan or permanently. Can they persuade the public on this issue?

In a 2008 study, researchers at Bath Spa University asked volunteers to rank the intelligence of people with various accents.
A Yorkshire accent was rated highest. A Brummie accent was rated lower than staying silent.
