Old enough to remember the Knowing Commentator position that taking the constant verbiage about Greenland or Canada at least a little bit seriously was a sign of terminal online neuroticism

Shamima Begum was the beginning of something in so many ways, one of which was 'the last government's inability to just do its job properly (in this case by passing legislation that would have allowed it to prosecute her here at home) and instead going 'no option but to undermine all our rights'.
There should be literally no circumstances, ever, where citizenship is can be revoked. If you literally sign up to fight for an opposing army in a war, then we should prosecute you for treason not revoke citizenship

CAN 2025: le Mali se qualifie au petit trot, le Maroc bien au rendez-vous des huitièmes de finale
Pas de vainqueur ni de but, lundi 29 décembre, lors de la troisième et dernière journée du groupe A entre les Comores et le Mali, dans la CAN 2025. Un troisième match nul consécutif qui suffit aux Aigles pour accrocher la deuxième place, qualificative pour les huitièmes de finale. Dans l'autre match, le Maroc n'a laissé aucune chance à la Zambie (3-0). Les Lions de l'Atlas terminent en tête et sont aussi qualifiés. Zambiens et Comoriens sont éliminés.

Notable too how many US thinkers even outside of the Trump milieu have become detached from global economic and political reality. Don't want to see that the world has changed fundamentally and not necessarily to their advantage.

And why wouldn't Moscow celebrate another successful influence operation?
When the time comes for the US and Russia to tell Europe to hand back Russia's assets in full, without Russia taking any responsibility for its crimes, will we have the strength to stand firm? It now looks less likely

To be absolutely clear, it is impossible to vote for a party that cannot bring itself to unequivocally defend the rights of people living and working legally in this country. Because arbitrary removal of legal rights, or sudden varying of terms, for some is ultimately a threat to everyone.
