Kier Starmer is a chocolate fire guard
Keir Starmer's spokesman tells me that X and Grok's creation of sexual deepfakes of children is "completely unacceptable" but again won't commit to taking direct action against them, or to stop posting there.
Says "all options are on the table" but suggests it's a matter for Ofcom, not Government

By what right does the United States assert control over Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. Oh right, the Louisiana Purchase from the French in 1803 -- 11 eleven years before the Treaty of Kiel in 1814, when Norway ceded Greenland to make peace in the Napoleanic Wars.
History for me and not for thee.

Miller: “The real question is: by what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim?
“What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony of Denmark?
“The US is the power of NATO.”

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

What we all know with a deep and righteous certitude is that Stephen Miller was that kid that every goddam day had do cede his lunch money to every school bully operant from fourth to ninth grade. I mean, they turned him upside down and shook him for coin.
