Chinese embassy? I am far more scared of the US embassy spying on me than the Chinese.
The USA is the biggest existential threat to world peace right now and by far the biggest terrorist organisation in the world.

That is, unless we address the root of the problem: our broken voting system.

First PLR payment in about three years. One pound and seventy-two pence. I don't care, it's free money.
I am a bit confused that 172 is not a multiple of 12.4, but presumably there is a reason. 🤷♂️

In the 1930s my grandmother campaigned vociferously for the UK to rearm and stand up to Hitler.
She also helped to finance Jewish refugees arriving from Germany, often with just a few possessions.
They didn't listen then and they are not listening now.

It is disgusting that, with 12.9% of the vote, the Green Party is projected to win just 22 seats
The LibDems on 12.8% would win more then three times as many and they too are STIL being cheated.
Meanwhile, Reform would have a majority with less than a third of the vote.

When will the British government get it. This man is an enemy of every decent value the UK should stand for. He is not an ally.
Offering to let him take out all the minerals he wants and expand his military base is a weak and foolish way to respond to threats.
