Amazing to think back over the past few years when conservative libertarians were bleating all the time about wanting to be free from Government.
Now they are being governed by one of their own who is clearly a fascist dictator, interfering 100% in daily life, they are silent

Trump is capable of annexing Greenland.
International Law says he must not and cannot, but Trump sees himself as above the Law.
Trump should remember that the rest of the world may take to annexing US owned bits of real estate with similar disregard for the Law
Esso/Exxon stations, for instance

10% of Reform Ltd supporters believe that to be a good British citizen it is important “to have white skin”.
To have “white skin” it is necessary to either faint or to be freshly dead.
I think they meant pink skin

Currency value falling
Shopkeepers on strike
Demonstrations in several major cities
Air pollution from use of high sulphur oil
Above all, water shortages from falling rainfall, droughts alternating with floods
Theocracy failing?

Incredible that @bbcnews is reporting that Reform Ltd is calling for Al Fattah to have his citizenship removed over anti-Zionism tweets for which he has apologised, when Reform is led by a man who made anti-Semitic and pro-Holocaust utterances for which he has not apologised

Great. Trump is down to historically low approval ratings on the economist.com, below Biden and way below Obama at this stage in the presidency.

Farage tries to dismiss his schoolboy interactions as “banter”.
Saying “Gas them all” and “SSSSS” to Jewish students is not “banter” it is verbal bullying of the worst kind, and all professional journalists must demand that he apologise every time they interview him
