So even before the latest set of erm - curious - pardons, is Trump a credible witness in ANY legal action?

I'm surprised that in all the talk of Rockingham's rockers and the like, this entirely inoffensive and not-at-all stereotypical tribute to Lord Bute hasn't had a mention yet. youtu.be/vlzPnae2Dak

It's a first step, but if this is now the official US advice coming from a neutered FDA it's going to need stamping down quickly and officially, across the world, by people who are still allowed to share genuine expertise.

But I've yet to hear a rational explanation of why this is the case. There's one really obvious one - 'we' don't like people who aren't like 'us' - but politicians seem very quick to dismiss the idea that that's what's behind this.

It makes it effectively pointless to vote in safe seats/wards, and in marginals it forces us to guess who will be first and second, and compromise accordingly. The present system isn't even helping the Tories and Labour any more, it just favours the largest minority, presently the Faragists.

Really disappointed in today's result, not least because I would have preferred ANY candidate to Reform. However, it surely is time to accept that the misnamed first-past-the-post system (what post?) does not work in a 5 or 6 party environment.

And my first use of Android's Gemini resulted in it refusing to turn itself off, giving me an interminable spiel about Google policy, and interrupting my response at the first hint of a comma, for another corporate rant.

"Coward"? Honestly?? I'm not sure anyone in the UK begrudges Martin taking a break to spend time with his family. I'm aware that probably sounds like communism to some in the US, but it's entirely mainstream here.

And if someone in a position of power could just remind everyone - once in a while - just how much we've lost from the act of self-harm that is Brexit, that would be nice.

Honestly, what is the point of voting for a party that seems only interested in further impoverishing the poorest and weakest, both at home and abroad. In pursuit of what? A handful of misanthropic voters in the potteries?

Nice, if it happens. Can you just remind us: Just how much Comic Relief etc will have to raise to plug the gap in this latest frankly sub-Johnsonian move.

Apparently they've already had Kaspersky removed from the Google Play store, worldwide. BTW, Google didn't feel the need to mention that it's stopped updating my antivirus on the instruction of a foreign (ie USA) government.
