I was Jack Janglebones on t'other site.

Retired guitarist. I used to be first-call at TPA Studios when Steve Kent ran it. Played with some people you've heard of. Sometimes more than once. I collect books.

Denizen of the Oak Grove, Wülferhampton.

Thanks to: @pileusmedia.bsky.social

This sums up my position, though I was only born in 1961.
Macmillanite, Keynesian, mixed economy... centre-right in the '60s, far-left now.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Oh no, the weird author scammers have found me. They love my indie release apparently.

It is, indeed, a book with mass appeal

So it’s OK to dismiss someone *unfairly* if they haven’t been in post for six months?

OK, that’s better than two years (the present threshold courtesy of Duncan-Smith).

Now. Either ‘unfairly’ has been defined incorrectly in the legislation?

OR

Our lawmakers have no morals?

Possibly, both.

Hong Kong fire and Grenfell are just alike. Fire spreading through unsafe building materials installed due to penny-pinching, killing dozens. One difference: before the HK fire is even out three executives at contractors have been arrested, eight years after Grenfell no-one has been arrested.

I see Farage now hates emigration as well as immigration. The trouble is, he’s a big part of why people are emigrating. Brexit has made the U.K. a less attractive place for everyone.

The country wants a wealth tax on assets.

They're panicking because "won't the rich just leave" has been utterly debunked.

They've got no actual argument.

We can be absolutely certain that the Witkoff leak shows only a very tiny portion of the exchange.

Witkoff is not experienced in SIGINT. He is a realtor, out of his depth and an easy mark for any intelligence service. There are certainly recordings.

Israel has killed or injured more Palestinians since the CEASEFIRE, than Israelis that were killed or injured on Oct 7.

And, that number includes the Israelis killed by Israeli due to the Hannibal directive.

The CIA relied on Afghan staff for translation, administrative and front-line fighting with their own paramilitary officers in the war.

If the president now starts deporting Afghan translators, who will help us during the next war? From any country?

Knee jerk reaction incoming.
