By contrast, the Trump chapter in Catherine Belton's excellent "Putin's People", also published by Murdoch's Harper Collins, remains available unexpurgated. Notably, unlike various oligarchs, the litigious Trump didn't sue, because there are receipts.

Watching BBC News at Six. First the Manchester synagogue attack, then the new Archbishop of Canterbury, then Israel/Gaza. All idiotic, dogmatic religion, based on crazy ancient fairytales. Oh, and now the Green Party deputy leader and his anti-semitic social media posts. WTF is wrong with humanity?

James van B®️egt @causticcorner.bsky.social · 8d

Religion, a plague on the human race for millennia, all based on fables and myths that never happened. WTF are we doing still talking about and wrapping religion in the 21st century? 😡

Not sure where this Alt Text is coming from, but it's pretty spot on.

Also nice is using a photo that still includes Rupert Lowe.

In the 80/90s I was a metals trader on the LME, with one Nigel Farage. He was a gobby tosspot, a figure of fun not to be taken seriously.

The very first thing he said to me when introduced was an insult about the Dutch in WWII. He may be racist, probably a xenophobe, but definitely a cunt.

INVESTIGATION: The 9/11 suspect - part 1

Was there another man involved in plotting the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed thousands in 2001? And why did British police, acting on the instructions of American law enforcement, let him go?This...

The Saudis sponsored 9/11 and the FBI made the British release a key suspect. Notably, the story is from Murdoch's Sunday Times.

Meanwhile, Pete Davidson's father was killed in 9/11, by the Saudi goverment. How funny, right?
