How distopian is Trump making this world? Not only has he set up a private army to oppress the US people, he is now forming a private UN to do the same to the rest of us!

Does Trump see this "golden dome" he's going to build in Greenland as an actual golden dome?

LBC weather report just stated that people in some areas must be getting fed up with being "targetted" by snow. How far removed from nature have we become?

All the talk about Trump's next move being on Greenland seems to be avoiding the statements he made about wanting Canada.

The story about difficulties in getting driving tests is another example of a society going down the wrong road. (pun intended) We're trying to reduce car use but look on driving as an absolute right! You don't need a licence to use public transport.

If anyone still thinks we have a free press/broadcast media in this country, just look at the way the budget is being reported. Anything aimed at making society fairer is labelled as a "raid", "robbery" or a "grab". Minimum wage rates are only considered from employers side.

All the narative around labour's asylum policies trying to fix divisions in our society are only pushing the blame onto those seeking safety, away from the racists. Deal with racism. It's a far greater evil than asylum seekers.

Trump is sueing the BBC. Shouldn't the British government be sueing Trump for false statements he has made about Britain? If so why aren't they?

LBC's Shelagh Fogarty once again showing her true colours by dropping in a reference to asylum seekers being accomodated, in a discussion on homelessness. Then when she is told it is a separate issue responds "I know it is" Why then say it?

So Trump has announced sanctions on Russian oil companies. So this means that the US trades with Russia?
He claims to not understand why Putin and Zelenski hate each other. How would he be feeling if Russia had invaded Alaska?
Is he even human?
