If anyone else has realised their kid's school or youth organisation still has a X-twitter account and is asking them to drop it, the magic word to trigger them to take it seriously is "safeguarding".

To all those saying "but if our government spoke out, there might be consequences", please remember that not speaking out also has consequences. The history of appeasement is not a reassuring one.

Our leaders have failed to understand the complexity of Trump's mental disorder. They thought it was just narcissism, so they tried flattery. But it's just made them look stupid because narcissism is only one aspect of malignant narcissism. The others are paranoia, anti-social behaviour and sadism.

It's this simple:
Trump doesn't do alliances. He doesn't do partnerships. He doesn't join anything where he's not the supreme leader. Malignant narcissism includes paranoia. That's why he feels compelled to control every country around him and destroy potential rivals like the EU and NATO.

I would push back a little against zero efforts - there were definitely some real initiatives - but I think it is now fair and necessary to argue that the strategy of sycophancy to Trump is actively hindering European leaders from going more forcefully for an independent and strong Europe.
Europe sucking up to Trump as a strategy to buy time might be defendable. But only if that time is being used to make Europe independent and strong. But in the past twelve months there have been exactly zero efforts for a stronger, more integrated Europe. So the sucking up is a waste of time.

Unhinged. Incompetent. Unfit. Unstable.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:
-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

News outlets need to get a grip on this. X and X-ai are avoiding offering responses, so they end up quoting the AI generator of contradictory gobbledegook because it will respond, but the responses are not meaningful

Shamima Begum was the beginning of something in so many ways, one of which was 'the last government's inability to just do its job properly (in this case by passing legislation that would have allowed it to prosecute her here at home) and instead going 'no option but to undermine all our rights'.
There should be literally no circumstances, ever, where citizenship is can be revoked. If you literally sign up to fight for an opposing army in a war, then we should prosecute you for treason not revoke citizenship
