100%. USA needs to stand firm. There will be more killings. If democrats resist a violent response then there may be hope!

I would absolutely love the idea that Stephen Miller would come to London for the week and end up in either Wandsworth or Wormwood scrubs even for one week just the thought makes me smile. 😁

Have broadcasters forgotten that Nigel Farage is a proven antisemite because I don't recall any mention of it this year?

"Thirty-four school contemporaries of Nigel Farage have now come forward to claim they saw him behave in a racist or antisemitic manner, raising fresh questions over the Reform leader’s evolving denials."

Like the gay Hispanic guy that voted Trump and then got deported. Darwinism in action.

Next, M&S and Tesco have all delivered results which exceed gloomy pre-Xmas forecasts in all newspapers.

I guess Reeves' budget wasn't as bad as some people were saying it was.

Funny that.

How many more Renee Nicole Goods are they going to shoot in the face before they finally provoke the violent backlash they want to impose martial law and suspend the midterms?

The proposed rules would bring England in line with the limits that have been operating successfully in Scotland. We still have rural pubs. The real threat to the viability of any pub is the cost of living crisis and high energy costs. Plus cheap supermarket booze.

“ICE are masked thugs!”

I find USA correspondences from @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social as of most important for UK audiences at this time.

These are surreal times, and Simon sums it as it really is!

I now read that the cop cars were there in support, not to safeguard the ICE residents.
The scene outside the ICE hotel in Minnesota last night.

Renee Nicole Good's murderer wasn't the only one finding it hard to get to sleep.

We all know the media is institutionally biased against Labour but I really can’t believe being pro drink driving is the hill they are prepared to die on to brainwash the public Labour is evil

Surely the majority of people are anti drink driving and will wake up to the nonsense UK media push

If the U.K. government’s rationale for staying in X is because millions of voters use it then perhaps they should also start publishing on Pornhub.

Some are calling the Minneapolis ICE Murder, the new George Floyd moment, made more relevant to ignorant white Americans because, unlike George, she wasn't black!

Curiouser still, according to LBC's @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social it happened just four blocks from where George was murdered.

The corollary of all the hoo-hah in the RW press about plans to cut the prescribed blood-alcohol limit are basically saying: “Make drunk driving legal to save the pubs”.

Ask any police traffic officer about drivers over the limit for drink or drugs, and they'll tell you about the carnage it causes.
