So it’s come to this. US troops ordered into cities on fabricated threats. Instead of protecting the US Constitution, the military do the bidding of a despot. Can’t you see that the enemy within sits in the Whitehouse? Oh it’s a weekend: on a golf course in Mar a Lago

Please can we deport Badenoch? Under her own logic she needs “to go back to where they came from”. She is of Nigerian descent. Her mother specifically flew to England so that she could be born here and claim a UK passport, then returned home. Sound ethical to you?

I realise that there are lots of erudite and entirely correct reasons against leaving the ECHR, but surely the main one to be repeated ad nauseam is "from the people who told you Brexit would solve all of your problems - how did that work out for you?"

Can the Greek authorities explain why Russian sanctions busting ship Vilamoura is in Greek waters off the coast of Koroni, Peloponnese? Are they aware? The vessel is Greek owned. It was damaged in June off the Libyan coast, allegedly transporting oil to Gibraltar @theguardian.com

Mason Mount was excellent against Sunderland. Why take him off? Mbuemo is superb up to 60 minutes. He runs out of steam. He clearly has a 2nd half fitness issue. Nice to see Sesko score again. At last we have a goalkeeper in Lammens. #ManutdvSunderland. Great to beat the Brexiteering Mackems #mufc

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

So the Conservative Party wants to deport 750,000 immigrants and join Russia and Belarus as the only countries to leave the Winston Churchill’s ECHR. How can anyone in their right mind vote Tory?

There is only one party in the UK that’s worth a damn. That’s the Green Party @greenparty.org.uk

Generals in the US Armed forces should be loyal to the Constitution of the United States first. Your unfit to be Commander in Chief is asking you to act illegally against US citizens. Pick a side. Pick the right side and make a stand. It’s what you have sworn to protect. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Somethings don’t change.

Nazi Germany was an active member of FIFA, and its national football team competed in the 1934 and 1938 World Cups, even hosting the event in 1936.

Reform UK plans to take away settled status of people. Does that mean Farage? He actually is descended for asylum seekers who came from France on a boat. Does Farage sound English to you? Deport this Putin admiring, Trump sycophant first.

If French troops board an oil tanker involved in Russia’s shadow Fleet, why aren’t the Greek authorities boarding this one in Greek waters off the East coast of Messini? Pictured yesterday, this is the Vilamoura oil tanker owned by Greek company TML. It flies a Marshall Islands flag.

ErikTheRed @erikthered451.bsky.social · 12d

I could be wrong, but it looks like the Russian sanction busting oil tanker Vilamoura is back moving slowly off the southeastern coast of Messinia, Greece. I trust the Greek authorities have prosecuted its Greek owners. #Greece @pravda.ua

How long do we have to sit idly on our hands as Russia pounds Ukraine and Israel wipes Gaza off the map?

It’s time for politicians to grow some balls and defend the rule of law. Do what you know to be right.

Amorim’s tactical choices suck. Why play your three slowest defenders? We know Brentford relies on fast counterattacks. Why insist on a dodgy goalkeeper when we have a better one ready? Why insist on Bruno and Ugarte in midfield. We know from repetead attempts that it won’t work. Same mistakes.

Scramble jets and arrest this man wanted for war crimes as he returns to Israel. He flew over Greece and Italy on the way to NYC. Get him on the way back. There is an international arrest warrant out for him. Respect the rule of law.
