Mostly here for the politics and football. Pretty woke, hate injustice and oppression. Still think Brexit was a stupid idea. #FBPE. #LFC and Eastleigh Spitfires. Season ticket holder at both.

The idea that Europe and the UK can't risk falling out with Trump because USA provides our weapons is nonsense. We can build our own weapons, which would make us safer and boost our stagnant economies. Any competent politician would tell you so.

Oh. Now I see the issue.

Appeasing Hitler didn't work and appeasing Trump won't work.
FYI:

In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

The blame doesn't fall entirely on the powerful and wealthy. There's a large group of consumers/voters who understand the damage they're doing but don't want their lifestyles inconvenienced, so they facilitate the status quo.
Are we the only inhabited planet? Can't be can we?

1. But, this beautiful planet 'Earth' is being destroyed in the pursuit of power & wealth.
2. But, those in power & wealth are destroying the lives of so many of us lucky to be alive on this beautiful planet.

So sad.

US action in Venezuela morally right, Badenoch says

Badenoch’s famous moral compass told her it was right to lie in HOP that she’d secured a Trade deal with Canada when no such deal had been done (as they furiously printed out)

And was fine to hack Harriet Harmen’s website to name just 2 examples

"I’m surprised that calls to boycott the 2026 Football World Cup (‘TrumpGames’) are not being voiced more loudly — whether from Mexico, Colombia, Denmark, or any other country." - Georg Restle

INDEED.

Ich wundere mich, dass die Forderung eines Boykotts der Fußball-WM 2026 („TrumpGames“) weder aus Mexiko noch aus Kolumbien noch aus Dänemark oder einem anderen Land lauter zu hören ist.

US oil companies say Trump did NOT inform them of his intention to take over Venezuela. They say extracting oil there would be too costly & take years to build the infrastructure - in a place too chaotic & dangerous for their workers

Trump is impulsively doing things with no viable end vision.

If people reall wanted Trump to stop trying to take Greenland they would boycott Facebook, Amazon, X and Tesla. This would get hos attention, via he tech. Bros. But people are too embroiled in using these things on a daily basis, and prioritise their convenience over another countries sovereignty.
Trump administration says it's vital for US security to take Greenland. And yet

-Denmark has offered US anything it wants in boosting US military presence
-The US already has the sole military base
-US has reduced its footprint from a 10,000+ peak to fewer than 200 right now.

Captain Mark Kelly earned his rank.

Now his decades of service are being attacked by a drunk and a draft dodger.

All because he reminded our military to stay true to their oath, his right as both a veteran and an American.

We used to call out madness & evil.

When, as a population, did we stop doing that.

And why?

The same question to all Americans.

It's 'will of the people' unless it upsets The Daily Mail, or Nigel Farage. Then it's hard back to a singular point in time 10 years ago, when grifters managed to con enough turkeys to vote for Christmas. Many of those turkeys have now died, and the younger turkeys don't seem so keen on Christmas.

The fact that a Baptist church in Georgia is protesting the monks who are walking for peace tells us everything we need to know about the scam and grift that is Republican Christianity in America. 😳👇

I think you mean 3rd referendum

3rd in ?? - I will vote Rejoin
Because whatever can be undone can be redone - that is how democracy works.

Under the Treason Felony Act 1848, it is a crime punishable by life imprisonment to intimidate parliament or encourage any foreign power to invade the U.K.

We should be applying this law to every traitor openly calling for the U.S to depose our democratically elected government.
