Post Brexit English bloke. Emigrated to Ireland in 2021 on a five year journey to get my EU benefits back by Irish naturalisation. I love cooking, food and drink, foreign travel, Ireland and donkeys 🫏 🇮🇪 🇪🇺

Farage told us we didn’t need a European army because America would always have our back. Now the US is shooting its own citizens in the street and flirting with authoritarianism. That wasn’t foresight. That was catastrophic naivety.

The seals are broken and the beast walks openly now. Its mark is law, its gospel is violence, and its altar is the street. There will be no salvation — only silence after.

Scotland. Happy Burns night. I had to go to Derry to get haggis, it’s just not a thing in the Republic of Ireland.

Tonight I will drink a toast to Scottish Independence.

Im watching this live press conference with a knot in my stomach. He’s fucking insane. He’s just totally insane. He’s going to destroy America and the world. What the fuck is wrong with you congress. This is really scary shit.

Two presidents.

One radiates calm authority.
The other mistakes applause and trinkets for respect.

Just had this trophy into our charity shop. I’ll get it sent over to the White House 👍

In a meeting today the US House Speaker Mike “I know nothing” Johnson met with the UK Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay “do you want to go for an early cup of tea?” Hoyle, to thrash out who’s the wettest and most useless.

Macaulay Culkin has given Trump his Oscar because Trump deserves it because he was better than Macaulay in Home Alone 2

Well deserved I say 👏👏👏

Jenrick, MP for Newark.

Newark is literally an anagram of Wanker.

Meet Rex. He lives next door to us on a farm about half a mile away. Pretty much every day he comes up to see us. His little face appears at our French door and we go out and fuss him up good. We never feed him though. He’s not our dog. We’ve just really come to like each other.

Mrs R loves a Bombay potato. So I’ve made her some as a surprise tonight. She wasn’t up for the king prawn Madras though. A bit hot for her. I don’t usually make prawn curry but there was a load of prawns on the poor shelf 50% off 🤷

America. This is your president.

A man who loves prizes so much that he whinges and moans and cries if he doesn’t win one, and when he doesn’t win the prize he’s perfectly happy to accept made up ones or somebody else’s prize.

What an absolutely pathetic cry baby.

Trump thinks that he’s a peacemaker because he’s been given someone else’s medal for peace. That’s ridiculous.

That’s like if I gave him my skydiving medal, he’d think he could just jump out of a plane at 20,000 feet.…🤔

Sorry, have to dash. I just need to go and buy a stamp.

Did Trump watch the same footage everyone else did 🤷 Look at even Vance’s face as he’s literally making stuff up as he goes along. Vance is thinking “stop talking, please stop talking”.

I don’t know why people are saying Trump exaggerated the ICE shooter’s injuries.

As he saunters away (presumably walking to the hospital, where he was going to be “recovering”) you can clearly see where he’s been hit by Good’s car 🤷

Same people, different uniform.

What if it transpires that the ICE agent is one of the pardoned January 6th insurrectionists 😳

Trump can only stay out of jail for the Epstein files if he is an actual dictator. So he’s going to HAVE TO carry on doing all this war and division shit until the American people are broken and there’s nobody left to stop him. He has no choice. It’s him or American democracy.

The US already has major assets in Greenland: Pituffik (Thule) Space Base for missile early-warning and space tracking; long-standing defence access agreements with Denmark; and Cold War legacy sites like Camp Century. Strategic access without sovereignty — by consent, not force.

Greenland has major rare-earth deposits, but they’re bound up with uranium, meaning mining would produce radioactive waste.

After strong local opposition, the government blocked uranium-linked mining in 2021.

But what if the government changed and said “drill baby drill”?

Four iconic pictures from the last 100 years. Please feel free to add your own.

It makes me sad to see how far the world has fallen in that short time.

It’s two minutes you actually do get back 🤷
